[VX] Necro's Twilight Battles

[Necro_100000]

Necro's Twilight BattlesVersion: 1.0
By: Matt Kaes (Necro_100000)

Introduction

So this is a simple script that I thought would be a really cool addition to anyone's game. It takes the normal background for any battle (You know the wavy one if your not using any battle back scripts.) Well it takes that and changes it slowly in to different colors in a 255 format slowly up and down for each color. It makes a real memorizing effect...

All the same I just made this script and I love it! I think it's an awesome script and no one's tried it before right?

FIXED IT!
It runs smoothly now. Well at least for me now. Thanks Kain Noble.

Features
<Post a bulleted list of features here. This section is optional.>

• Creates a colorful background for your battle's!
• Even in battle it constantly changes colors!
• Plug and Play! No editing needed! Also compatible with all (That I've tired) Scripts!
• NOW WORKS WITH ALLLLLLLLL CUSTOM BATTLE TYPES! ... Even the tactics one but it's kinda weird....

Screenshots

Now focus on the background and imagine it changing colors.

Demo

I don't have a demo up right now but It's 1 AM =P Maybe tomorrow...

Instructions

No resources or graphics are needed! Simply place this script ABOVE ALL IMPORTED SCRIPTS! ^_^ and everything will be A Okay!

Works with the side view battle system as you can see from the screen shot.

FAQ

None ATM

Compatibility

Compatible with everything! However I hope to make it consume less RAM...

Credits and Thanks

Myself! This wasn't really inspired by anything or anyone... It just kinda came to me.

Author's Notes

Sorry it took me so long to fix this..... I was finishing up my first full game and got a bit distant with the forums. ANYWAY. I've fixed it now and removed a lot, if not all the lag, and I removed the crashing error. It should work now. Hopefully. Hope you guys enjoy the script!

Terms and Conditions

Feel free to use it and do with it as you please! Even fell free to change it if you want. But give a guy a break and just throw him some credit? Thanks guys.

Hmm...

@battleback_sprite2.color = Color.new(@Color,@Color1,@Color2)

...Initializing a new color object every frame is probably the reason due to the immense lag, if you continue to use the same Color object and change its properties perhaps it'll run faster. Try just changing it to this...

@battleback_sprite2.color.set(@Color,@Color1,@Color2)

...and see if that helps at least a tiny bit. Also you can manipulate the properties individually like this example...

@sprite.color.red += @red

@sprite.color.green += @green

@sprite.color.blue += @blue

Good luck with it :thumb:

 

[Tar Nybuki]

There's only one thing I don't like. The colors change too fast.

@Kain Nobel

Hehehe... My bad I never thought about that =.=.

I updated my ruby skills and found a new way to deal this this issue. As for the colors, you'll have to just look though the script if you can and find out how to do it =X. I declared it using a lot of data and wasn't really planing original to make a release of this script. Then I ran into the issues that I fixed. So it lost just about all of it's customizable traits.

Well I fixed it so check it out now.
