Wow. NIce add Synthesize to the RMVX scripts.

You should eventually convert most of XP scripts to VX. ;-]

Seems to be a good first step. Would be nice, if you will enhace it, when english FV is released, so Battle-Backgrounds are corresponding to Map-Areas, you're on.

And could you give an example, how to exhance this section, when using more backgrounds for other maps.

CODE

{
  1 => "001-Grassland01",
  2 => "001-Grassland01"
  }

  }

Once I get Vx when it comes out, I will enhance it so you can put a tag in the map name, say [F1] then when you enter battle on that map, the battle background will use the 'Forest1' battle background as defined in the customization. As for your question:

CODE

{
  1 => "001-Grassland01",
  2 => "001-Grassland01",
  3 => "Battle Back 3",
  4 => "Back 4"
  }

For every map you want to have battles on, place a comma (Reference above), press enter then insert your map name followed by the battle background. Everything inside the {} brackets is a hash, so the way scripts use them is a script will check the value in the hash, then use the returning value. So in this case the script checks to see what map_id the player is on when the battle starts, so the scripts then 'asks' the hash to return the value that the script uses. So if you are on map 3 and enter a battle, the hash will tell the script to draw a battle background called 'Battle Back 3"

Looks like a simplified version of Moghunter's script. Nice Job.

As long as this script is under all other scripts, it will work. It is called automatically in when a battle starts.

i have a question. the background depend on which map you are, right? ok, thats fine. but what about a map with more than 1 landscape. for example desert, snow and forest( on the world map). what to do?

The problem with is, I think RMVX removed Terrain Tag support, which would have been the easiest way to get that done. So if that is the case, you would have to come up with a different way of making it work.

VXTilesetTool allows terrain tags and directional movement.

One bug with this script is the inability to use the "Battle Test" feature in VX due to an error with the Cache. Anyone know how to fix this?

[Icedsnake]

For me it say Error

Script 'Cache' line 75: type error occurred.
cannot convert nil into String.

anny one can help me out ??

[2gamergirl2]

I think what is wrong with yours is that you named your maps. So instead of your map name being MAP001 (or whatever the default map names are), you named it Feild1 or something like that. I am not sure, and I have a feeling I am wrong, but I think you should change this:

1 => "001-Grassland01"



to this:

(map name) => "001-Grassland01"

so for example it would be this:

Field1 => "001-Grassland01"


Edit: Ok nevermind it didnt work lol i am totally stupid dont listen to me! Lol nvm nvm nvm nvm! Hopefully someone who is WAY more skilled then me comes along and helps you Icedsnake but sorry i couldnt lol.

This problem has happened several times to some members in the forum, and the reason is the same. Using unofficial translated english VX copy.

To fix that, you'll need to uninstall that unofficial VX, and install the official english version of VX.

Refer to this thread for some more detail :

Ummmm... Is there anyone here that knows Japanese that can translate the functions of the tileset tool so that and English speaking user can get the advantages of using terrain tags? I'm not asking for a hack but just like, button at the top left does ~(blah blah blah) and the one under, etc etc...? Sorry, just not Japanese.
