RPG Maker VX - [change battlebacks]

[AdditionalPylons]

I decided to download the trial to see how different it was from XP. But uh, the battlebacks are nauseating. How do you change them? I'm really stating to feel sick....  :dead:

 

[Mr_Smith]

I think the same as in XP, however I didnt tried. Resource Manger --> Database and the right tab should come out it the place to be.

RMVX battle backs, by default, are just a screenshot of the map radial blurred with a wave effect added on.  This is very easy to change to have different battle backs and that.  See: Spriteset_Battle#make_battleback

There is a script for it, right here:

Copy-paste the script above Main in the Script Editor. Then put your battle backgrounds in Graphics/System and choose which maps get which backgrounds in the configuration in the script.

Ok sorry again guys but i ran into another problem while i inserted the battlebackgrounds script and restart the rmvx program. Now for somereason when i activated my database, troops, battle test, its giveing me an error:  Script 'Cache' line 75: TypeError occurred.cannot convert nil into string    /once the error pops up the battletest screen goes black and once i push ok the battletest just shuts down. I also checked out the cache line in the scripts section.     Line 75     path = folder_name + filename > not sure on what to do here. Maybe i have to insert a path or a folder name or a filename for it to work properly but i ve tryied to replace them with certain folder names and file names but i couldn't find anything that will work so please if anyone knows anything about this errror please let me know on how to fix it thank you.

Here is a clean, simple way to have a battle back;

1 - Open script editor in your project (F11)
2 - Scroll down under scripts and find the Sprites \/ heading
3 - Bottom of the Sprites \/ list "Spriteset_Battle" and select it
4 - Find the code

  #-----------------------------------
  # * Create Battlefloor Sprite
  #-----------------------------------
  def create_battlefloor
    @battlefloor_sprite = Sprite.new(@viewport1)
    @battlefloor_sprite.bitmap = Cache.system("BattleFloor")
    @battlefloor_sprite.x = 0
    @battlefloor_sprite.y = 192
    @battlefloor_sprite.z = 1
    @battlefloor_sprite.opacity = 128
  end

5 - Change the @battlefloor_sprite.y = 192 to > 0
6 - This will place the underlaying "BattleFloor.png"'s top-left corner, in your games System folder, at the topleft of the screen. (0x,0y)
7 - Create your own nice, 512x416 battle screens! This only works to have the same bg all the time.  The original system only had a single type bg all the time.. why not this one?

NOTE: I'm not sure if this works with other scripts. This is just a change in the default script where using no other external ones. Also you prolly call this action in a new script so you could assign different bg's, but I'm not sure how to call the script, if it were an external one with "DifferentBattleFloor.png" images.. I'm trying to figure it out now..

8 - You can also change the opacity of the bg as well. Preferable to 255 so it's not translucent at all, but may be neat to try some different bg's with a translucent WAVEY effect.

Hope this helps

But how can I change the battlebacks because to have only one all the time is a little bit boring.can someone tell me how to change them and how can I put facesets into the battle screen.I mean I saw it into a demo game by some user here in this forum.
He used facesets in the left corner while you are fighting and it depends on which chara is on his turn ...because the chara which is the next this was is allways shown in the front...OH my god...i really can't explain it in englisch ....but I hope that someone will understand what I mean.
