+ [ MULTIPLE FOGS] + Version 1.0 RE-ENGINE~, * Missing feature from RMXP~! Options

[woratana]

Multiple Fog
Version 1.0
by Woratana
Release Date: 13/05/2008


Introduction
This is one of the missing feature from RPG Maker XP.
I added feature to show more than 1 fog.

This script (Multiple Fogs) is originally scripted in XP version by me,
and it's not that hard to convert it from XP to VX.
It's a little harder to use than XP version,
because there is a fog setting window to help you setup multiple fogs in XP.

However, I tried to come up with many methods to help you setup fog's properties here.
You can make new properties preset in the script, or set with event command to call script, or copy the properties from showing fog.

You can choose fog image's path. Choose to clear all fog when transfer player to other map.
And I also put 2 event commands for control fog from RMXP, 'Change Fog Color Tone' and 'Change Fog Opacity'.

Enjoy~!


Features
Version 1.0
- Show 1 fog or more at a time.
- You can change fog image's path, and choose to clear all fog when transfer player to other map.
- Include 2 event commands 'Change Fog Color Tone' and 'Change Fog Opacity' from RMXP.
- 3 methods to setup fog's properties. Choose the method you want~

Instruction
>> Setup the script. There are 3 short parts to setup:

CODE

    #==================================================================
    # ** MULTIPLE FOG SETUP ** SETTINGS
    #--------------------------------------------------------------

For fog's image path, and choose to clear all fog when transfer player.

CODE

    #==================================================================
    # ** MULTIPLE FOG SETUP ** FOG DEFAULT SETTING
    #--------------------------------------------------------------

For default fog properties~
and

CODE

    #==================================================================
    # ** MULTIPLE FOG SETUP ** FOG PRESET SETUP
    #--------------------------------------------------------------

For fog properties preset.


>> The complete instruction is included the script

Here is the fog's properties you can set before show fog:

CODE

# $fog.name = 'image_name' # Image file name, must be in fog image path (setup path below).
# $fog.hue = (integer) # Fog's hue. 0 - 360, 0 for no hue.
# $fog.tone = [red, green, blue, gray] # Fog's tone color.
# $fog.opacity = (integer) # Fog's opacity. 0 - 255, you will not see fog in 0.
# $fog.blend = (0, 1, or 2) # Fog's blend type. 0 for Normal, 1 for Add, 2 for Subtract.
# $fog.zoom = (integer) # Fog's size (in %). 100 for normal size.
# $fog.sx = (+ or - integer) # Fog's horizontal move speed.
# $fog.sy = (+ or - integer) # Fog's vertical move speed.

If you have use RPG Maker XP before, this image may help you understand each properties better.



Show fog by call script:

CODE

$fog.show(fog_id)

fog_id is ID number you want to put this fog in. If there is fog in this ID already, it will replace old fog.


>> Example of call script to show fog:

CODE

$fog.name = '001-Fog01'
$fog.hue = 0
$fog.tone = [0,0,0,0]
$fog.opacity = 64
$fog.blend = 1
$fog.zoom = 100
$fog.sx = 2
$fog.sy = 1

$fog.show(1)

or load fog from preset by:

CODE

$fog.load_preset(2)
$fog.show(1)

You can change its properties after load preset or load properties from showing fog.

CODE

$fog.load_preset(2)
$fog.opacity = 40
$fog.zoom = 200
$fog.show(1)

1)It's got everything I can think of.
2)Maybe changing the scroll speed in-game would be useful.
3)"Pictures" would be easier, but it's fine with me personally either way.
Also, I think it would be good if when you release the script, you give a simple demo so I can figure out how it works faster. My mind works in such a way that just reading how to use it is sometimes hard to me no matter how simple the instructions are. So a demo where I can look at the script working would help me, and some others, I think.
Thanks woratana! Your scripts are great.

[woratana]

Well, please give me more suggestion on this so I can release it the final script with demo~

If it seems like no one is interesting in this script, I may just sent script via PM for anyone who'd like to use it~

@Denko
Thanks for suggestion!

Don't worry, it will not be hard to use. Same as when you set fog in VX, but you just have to use call script

New Screenshot, with 3 fogs at once:


The way I use to call multiple fogs is set parallel event in map, and put command like this:
- Call Script:

CODE

$fog.id = 1
$fog.name = "fog"
$fog.opacity = 60
$fog.blend = 1
$fog.ox = 0
$fog.oy = -10
$fog.zoom = 100
$fog.tone = [200,0,20,0]
$fog.show

- Call Script:

CODE

$fog.id = 2
$fog.name = "fog"
$fog.opacity = 60
$fog.blend = 2
$fog.ox = 10
$fog.oy = 0
$fog.zoom = 100
$fog.tone = [0,0,0,0]
$fog.show

- Call Script:

CODE

$fog.id = 3
$fog.name = "1"
$fog.opacity = 40
$fog.blend = 1
$fog.ox = -5
$fog.oy = 0
$fog.zoom = 100
$fog.tone = [0,0,0,0]
$fog.show

- Erase Event

----------------------
Basically, just copy and paste the template to call fog, and change its ID and picture name

[Dainreth]

The script seems really nice..more than one fog, huh? Nice idea, I really like it
I'm really looking forward to this one, you're the best wora!

[woratana]

Oh yes, I really needed this for my game. Thanks allot for releasing this mate.

[karim ghazal]

Hello every one .. i am karim from iraq .. i have the script but there is a problem when i add the script for the big face ( it was your script ) the faces doesn't shows front of the message box but behind it .. please i want the answer ..

[woratana]

@Karim

You can get support about Neo-Face directly from Neo-Face topic

Wait for NMS 2 (Neo Message System 2) out, you will be able to use Neo-Face with Message System and not buggy (hopefully...)

p.s. What version of Neo Face are you using? Version 3 is released *O*

[ardarkmoon]

On the map I have the fog set to trigger on, the fog doesnt move. but if I change maps, and dont have a script call to disable the fog, ((meaning the fog remains in play))

the fog moves....then I walk back onto the map with the call script for the fog....and it stops moving again

Any reason why?

Sorry, I'm not really understand what do you mean by that.

Upload some demo to show your problem would be appreciate

[ardarkmoon]

What I mean is... ((since I cant upload a demo just yet))


Is this: Map A has the call script event, to start the fog (I used clouds) .....now, when I go to that map...the clouds are there but they do not move...

HOWEVER: if I go to Map B....the clouds move... but if I go back to map A: the clouds do nothing but sit there...


I just want to know why that may be the case...

[karim ghazal]

Okay , it's seems i'm using the first version of Neo-Face .. okay , i'm going to check the topic my friend , tnx alot .

[ardarkmoon]

OK!

I fixed MOST of my problem!..

NO MORE ERRORS!


My errors were caused by trying to test the script out from a previous saved game. I had to start a new game in order for changes to be made; woups!



Now, heres my problem; just as before, the map that is SUPPOSED to START the fog, starts it fine, but they dont move at all...

HOWEVER if I go to another map, without removing the fog, it moves then!...but then I go BACK to the map that originally HAD the flag....and bam, not moving again...

suggestions?

You may want to show me the image of event commands you use for call fog

Thx

[Ty]

Good job, it looks nice and useful ^^

[ardarkmoon]

Hokai!


I took a screen shot of my fog event..

PLEASE tell me if there is anything I messed up on, even though I am quite certain I copied and pasted the method in YOUR demo directly from what it was.


If there is any OTHER information you require to assist me, let me know, as I would like to have this issue resolved ASAP~


Thanks for your time in helping me with this Woratana~

Ash~

PLEASE NOTE: I also tried using the event WITHOUT the "clear.fog = false" script too, and neither worked, so I'm sure that isnt the case....especially because even with that, the fog APPEARS...it just doesnt move... ><;~

I just had a similar problem, ardarkmoon. Hopefully this cures your predicament as it did mine.

*drumroll*

Add the 'Event elimination' command after the fog has been set. Event Commands -> Tab 2 -> Animation Commands -> Delete Event

[ardarkmoon]

WOOOWWW~!


THANK YOU! It worked!


NOW......erm.....if I could just get the clouds to STOP working inside of towns and caves... -animefall- ><;!


EDIT::

Ok, I got it, Just had to use the $fog.delete 1 script call..

WOOW, thanks for the help everyone, now I can finally continue my project~ ;p

1 is too fast for me, is their any way to slow it down even more then what 1 does?
I have clouds rolling by on my overworld and they are going too fast.. they need to drift by slower.
Can anyone help?

Also when you move, the scrolling acts funny.. it should not try and fallow the main characters movements, take a look at an old script for XP by dube alex for a better idea of what im talking about, it was called the multi pan script and could be used for either backgrounds or fogs.. their is auto scrolling and map scrolling... you only have one kind of scrolling implamented and thats auto scroll..

Just trying to give you ideas..
My only main complaint is the speed.. 1 or even -1 which is going in a different direction is too fast.
