Fade to White

[FlippyD]

This one's pretty simple, is there a way with events to have a fade to white when transferring the player from one map to another? Screen tints and pictures aren't helping.

Actually, screen tints and pictures are your solutions. Using the "Change Screen Color Tone" command, if you move the sliders to the right you will get a fade to white screen. Alternatively, you can create a completely white-filled image, and display it as a picture at 0 opacity, then move it to 255 and back (the first method is much easier, though).

I did that, but when I change to another map it still fades to black first. :<

Hmm, which program are you using? XP and VX might be a bit different in event commands.

 

[FlippyD]

I'm using VX.

I know it was possible to do that in XP though.

It's not the event commands that are the problem, it's the transitions you're choosing in the database. They override the commands you give when you teleport. Change the transitions for teleporting to "Do Not Erase" and "Do Not Show", after that tinting the screen white before teleporting should work fine.

I can't change the transitions in the database.
Rather, I can't find where to change the transitions in the database.

Try adding this before Main in the scripts editor:

class Scene_Map
  
  def update_transfer_player
    return unless $game_player.transfer?
    fade = (Graphics.brightness > 0)
    Graphics.freeze
    white = Viewport.new(0, 0, 544, 416)
    white.z = 9999
    white.color.set(255, 255, 255)
    Graphics.transition(15)
    Graphics.freeze
    @spriteset.dispose
    $game_player.perform_transfer
    $game_map.autoplay
    $game_map.update
    Graphics.freeze
    @spriteset = Spriteset_Map.new
    Input.update
    white.dispose
    white = nil
    Graphics.transition(15)
  end
end

Really? Heh, I kinda assumed such a basic thing would still be in RMVX. Guess it's not, sorry.

Thanks Sheol, but is there a way to call a command that will change it back to "Fade to Black" should I want to switch between both?

 

[Sheol]

Try this ^^

class Scene_Map

  FadeToWhiteSwitch = 60

  def update_transfer_player
    return unless $game_player.transfer?
    fade = (Graphics.brightness > 0)
    Graphics.freeze
    white = Viewport.new(0, 0, 544, 416)
    white.z = 9999
    color = $game_switches[FadeToWhiteSwitch] ? 255 : 0
    white.color.set(color, color, color)
    Graphics.transition(15)
    Graphics.freeze
    @spriteset.dispose
    $game_player.perform_transfer
    $game_map.autoplay
    $game_map.update
    Graphics.freeze
    @spriteset = Spriteset_Map.new
    Input.update
    white.dispose
    white = nil
    Graphics.transition(15)
  end
end
