CurMap as BattleBack Edit Help

[MajorPreAton]

I'm using the following script to change the battle background images to use the current map as it's background.
So far so good, no errors but I was wondering of someone experienced in RGSS could help me modify it so it dims
the map in the background by 50% or so. (Half fade to black so the battlers are less cluttered.) Help would be
appreciated and thank you for your time.

Because $game_map doesn't update during the transition.

How do you still show events, but hide the player? It's kind of weird seeing yourself when you battle.
