Show picture below character?

[Polraudio 122]

Anyone know if theres a script where i can show a picture above layer3 and right below the event layer and if not know how i would go about making one?

I think this would work kind of the same way parallax mapping does.

 

If someone is willing to make one make the callscripts something like:

$showpic(1,"001.png")

$removepic(1)

Should function just like the event show picture.

 

Thanks in advance

You're in luck. A few days ago, I ported Woratana's Picture Below Characters script to XP.

 

Here you go. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/68527961/RMXP/Scripts/Picture%20Below%20Characters.txt

To get this working as intended i had to make a little edit to the script in frame update.

 

When it was.

self.z = $game_player.screen_z - 1 if (@picture.number >=

it was only tracking the player.

I changed it to.

self.z = 1 if (@picture.number >=

So now instead of it showing it just under the player and hiding events(if using 640x480 pic) it shows it under all events and right above the tileset.

Might want to change that or make a mode for people who want it this way.

 

If using it for mapping you can only have the default map size and nothing bigger.

Thanks for the script . This really helped me make my maps look better.

Ahhh, thanks for the edit. I'll change that right now. :)

When you say "picture ID" in the script, you mean the picture number? If that's what you mean, it's not working here D:

[Polraudio 122]

Yes picture number. Picture number 15-20 should show under the player and events. You edit what picture numbers from and to show under the player in the config.

#===============================================================================​
# * Configuration
#===============================================================================​
module Picture_Below
  ID_From = 15  # Set from which picture IDs will appear under the characters.
  ID_To   = 20  # Set which picture ID this stops at.
end

Nevermind... I created a new project and the script worked there. I'll see if I can find what is causing the problem. Thanks

The problem was in the Main class. Now it works perfectly! :D
