Mapping a Wagon

[NunoAle]

Hey guys, I have to make an inside of a wagon in RPG Maker VX, but I'm having some troubles.

Ideas:
1 - I was planning on putting a square where all around it is all black.
2 - I was planning on putting a window to see a moving panorama.
3 - I was planning on making a paralel process on which the map trembles, which represents the moving of the wagon.
4 - I was plaanning on inserting a moving-wagon sound.

But I have som troubles:
1 - I'm afraid it will look too ugly like this.
2 - I can't put a panorama moving by itself, or I don't know how to.
4 - I don't have a moving-wagon sound.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

Well, if you play MotW, there's a scene in a carriage that's exactly what you're describing here. It was pulled off quite well, so I think if you skip the panorama and do the rest, it should work great.

What's that!?

Sorry about the ignorance :P Could you link me?

I think what he means is, in the game Master of the Wind for XP they pulled off a scene like this quite well. They also did so in Quintessence. It's simple really, just drop the panorama idea, and then use the black autotile around the floor. After this, like you said, just put on the parallel process for the "shaking". As for the sound, just look around this:

and you will find A LOAD of BGS' to download and import.

And if you pull it off well, it won't look bad. In fact, I find this scenes interesting and involving, rather than others. If it helps ya!

Thanks, you've been really helpful!

But tell me, do you think any kind of wall is necessary?

EDIT:

I've found a problem. I have the map all black with a square on the center (3x5 rectangle). But, when I enter the map, it shows nothing. What should I do?

 

[bradleydfc]

Personally, when I did it, I found a wall on VX looked ugly, and just the floor looked okay. How are you entering the map? And can you see your character sprite.

 

[NunoAle]

Neither the character sprite, neither floor.

I'm entering by a teleport in a cutscene... But I don't know if it's problem of the pararel events that are ocorruing. I have to try it out.

Any sugestion though?

EDIT:

Found the solution, was the paralel process thingy!

Thanks guys!
