Haze

[Mean1]

Hey everyone. I have a good question. Ok so I have a portion in VX where you are traveling through a haunted woods.  Its not really all that scary. I was wondering how would you make a haze? Like a partial see through cloud or something that I could put in to make it look more like a haunted woods? Is something that I have to do as scripting or can I manipulate somethign for it to happen? Thanks in advance

You can do this with a fog. You add fogs in the Database->Tilesets. They're basically pictures that show over the screen at a set opacity. You can use one of the default ones, or import your own.

 

[Mean1]

Wait are you talking XP? because there isnt that in VX. Im probably looking in the wrong part if anything. hmmm....  I know what you are talkign about I just cant find it

 

[regi]

Ah, sorry, misread :X There's no fog function in VX, so you can either install this script or use a combination of "Show Picture" and "Move Picture"'s to get that same effect.

 

[Mean1]

You're good. lol It happens to everyone. But yeah let me try that.

That is what I wanted. Thanks. Now the problem is...it doesnt work! :lol: I got a script error but Im trying to fix it but thank you

 

[regi]

Hmm... the most likely problem you're having is not using commas correctly. Try looking at your code and make sure all of the configurations are similar to this:

Fog_whatever = {#1 => 'blah', #2 => 'blah2', #5 => 'blah5'}

Note that there are only commas between the codes, and not at the beginning or end of the code.
Hopefully that should cover the problem.

Man, Regi... helpfull as always.

Although I find scripting really hard to master but he's right. I also had a problem with that script and it was because of the use of commas to initiate the fog on a map.

 

[Mean1]

Actually no it isnt about the commas its something else

Line 118: typeError occured nil can't be coerced into fixnum

that is the error I got. So far the author hasnt replied back yet

 

[regi]

Ahh, well I'm afraid you'll have to ask a scripting expert on that, I have no clue.

Here, I'll move this to RGSS Support for ya, and meanwhile you might want to post what "line 118" says.

That line is:

  def update_fog

I tried the script and it worked fine for me.  Are you sure you named the fog picture correctly?  By default, your first fog should be named 'fog01.png'.  And make sure it is in the RGSS2>Graphics>Picture folder.

 

[Mean1]

I named it correctly I dont know whats up with it. A bug in my system maybe???

 

[Buster]

Oh, I made a typo above, make sure the Pictures directory is 'Pictures', not 'Picture'.

Although, I don't think that's the error, since that actually gave me a 'cannot find image fog01.png' message... I can't seem to recreate the error you're getting.  Did you change anything in the script at all?

 

[Mean1]

the only thing I changes was where I wanted the fog to be and the opacity. but thats just the beginning of it. I have the original copy (with out any chnages from me) and I put that in and I came up with the same error. It could be that my computer wont run it or I have a version that has a bug in it.

 

[Buster]

Hm.  You do have the legal version of RPG Maker VX, yes?

If you do, then there has to be something wrong with your computer... or there might be another script that you've installed that is conflicting with the fog script.

 

[Mean1]

It probably is another script in the way...oh well i will figure it out eventually

 

[regi]

Well, could you post a list of scripts you have installed?

 

[Mean1]

All I have is a Side View Battle script. It is broken into 3 scripts

Are you sure the error is on line 118 of the fog script? If it's a compatibility problem, it could be elsewhere.

 

[Mean1]

yeah..I mean the number clearly is in english. Line 118

 

[Retlaf]

My mistake, I should re-emphasize the question.

Are you sure the error is on line 118 of the fog script?
