[RESOLVED] Making panorama graphic stationary

[Juno]

(This is for RMXP)

My apologies if this has already been asked, but I'm trying to find a way to make the panorama graphic fixed, or stationary.  Certain panorama graphics have a vertical gradient, and when it gets to the end of the graphic and loops back to the top very obviously.  It looks very bad, for instance, when the sunset panorama loops from the top to the bottom.  Is there a way to make it so that the panorama graphic stays put, no matter where on the map the character goes?

Here's an example of what I mean:

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! :smile:

I am sure through some sort of script you could do this but I was thinking just take the picture into photoshop and turn the panorama into a seamless texture. then you won't be able to tell when its repeating as bad

Try this:

class Spriteset_Map
  Stop_Panorama_Scrolling_Switch = 1
  alias_method :seph_stoppanscrolling_ssmap_update, :update
  def update
    seph_stoppanscrolling_ssmap_update
    if $game_switches[Stop_Panorama_Scrolling_Switch]
      @panorama.ox = 0
      @panorama.oy = 0
    end
  end
end

Just alter that 1 with whatever switch to turn this on and off.

Thanks for the help, Seph.  I'll give that a try.  I wonder why they took out that option when they went from RM2k3 to RMXP.

To hear people whine about it. lol

They have seemed to take a lot out in XP from 2K3 (or so I hear), but they gave us scripting, which allows so much more than anything 2K3 or previous versions could ever give us.

I tried your suggestion and it worked perfectly.  (It was a very simple fix once I saw what it took.)  Thanks a lot!  :thumb:
