[VX] Priority/Passage settings for pictures?

[Mikee]

Hey everyone.

I'm using scrolling pictures for a title sequence/opening video in my project. But I really need the npc's in the intro to be able to walk over the top of the images. Is there any way of doing this? I'd even settle for a short script if it's the only way.

Thanks, and if I'm not clear enough, let me know.

An alternate solution could be using the pictures as parallaxes spread over several maps and transfer an invisible or visible Player at certain points in the opening.

I don't have VX open and parallels isn't running right now either and I'd have to run that to run VX so that's all I can think right now, sorry. Next time I do head into VX (if this hasn't been solved by then) and I'll try some stuff out.

Well.... The only thing I can think of is to make one VERY long map for the npc's to be walking across. Then I'd have to screenshot the map, paste the pictures onto it in photoshop or something, then import it as a parallax. Then I'd just spread the entire map with clear tiles, and get the npc's to tromp along over the picture. I don't know..... lol

I wish there was a way just to set the picture's priority to below character, like you do with events. Blah. Here, I'm going to paste the link to my demo in here. This is the entire intro to the game so far. I need to fix the timing a little bit, and the whole walking OVER the pictures, if I really want to go to all that trouble. It already looks pretty good I think.

50 meg!?!

I just got through with the download and I'll be checking it out, ths better be damn good or you owe me a date XD

EDIT: It was very good as an opening, I personally don't think you need the pictures to walked over ( you mean the names and credits when you refer to the pictures correct? ) I think it looks much more asethetically pleasing to have them over the events as opposed to under the npcs.

A date? Ha ha. Too bad it was amazing, huh? lol

The names, the order, and the entire introductory phrases need some hardcore editing. And someone said that the text was too hard to read. So I'll change that also. Other than that... I think I've given up on the walking OVER the pictures. I just thought it would be a cool effect, but I actually think it looks cool how it is.

Thanks, Sniper.

Some of the text was a little hard and other times it was clear as day (referring still to the bloody chaotic font).

You sure you don't want to take me out on a date anyway? D:

 

[Mikee]

Ha ha. Okay.

And we can arrange something. lol. But I have to warn you. The last "sniper" I dated didn't exactly leave a good taste in my mouth. I don't mean that literally, but let's just say I fear for my life. ; )

Thanks for the help. I'll pick you up Friday at 7? : )

Sure, I'll be waiting in my PM box, don't be late ;D
