short question about battle backgrunds Options

[kuramoto]

Hey all.

I wanted to ask if there is a way of complete removing the battle background so you would see your map you're traveling on instead.
Would such be even possible?

Thanks in advance ^^

There is actually a script for that, from Yanfly and such. It's called the Yanfly snapshot battle background, it can be found on the yanfly site, not sure if it's actually located on RRR though.

It's pretty simple plug and play, it just takes a snapshot of the screen before the battle and you fight there, looks pretty nice.

I think you mean this one?

Yep! Thanks for that!

Is the script in the link really that snapshot one mentioned?
if yes, then i seem to be too stupid for getting it to work ^^"

Oops, that's not the one I mentioned, but it's a good one. This is the actual snapshot battle back:

# Last Date Updated: 2010.04.16
# Level: Easy
#
# For a quick and easy way of getting a map-related backdrop without that
# cheesy radial blur that RPG Maker VX comes with, why not just use a snapshot
# of whatever map you're currently on instead? This script removes the radial
# blur and throws in a slightly zoomed snapshot of the current map without any
# events hindering it.

Ah, thanks a lot, now i just have to figure out how to get it to work ^^

[kuramoto]

Well, i dont really see how to get it to work with YEA-ace core engine. Is that at least the right place to look for? xD

[Shaddow]

Yes, that is the right place to look, also I'm a noob and didn't notice this was the ACE forum xD, that script is for VX, but should have one for ACE.

[kuramoto]

Ah, i see.
Well, thanks anyway ^^
