Need picture

[Zerlina]

I see in many games people have a cloud or fog that moves across the screen. I know how to do it, but I just don't have the picture. I've looked all over, could someone please help and make my life so much easier by showing me where I might find this item...or else attatching it.

I'm pretty sure there's 1 in the RTP, but here's one.
If you need a fog, just ask.

 How do you do it? would you mind posting a tutorial?

[Zerlina]

Not a panorama, I need the clouds that go over the map and hero. You can see it in Don Miguel's Game. But thanks anyways.

There's a tutorial here. Go to search and type in "fog" in the tutorials section and it should come up.

i think you put it as a 320 X 240 picture, because they alwayus overlap everything

[Zeigue]

Oh okay thanks! i think i know what youre talking about...(attachment) if not, sorry. when you put it in the FOG folder or whereever it goes when you use it it comes up not liek a picture like fog though and you know how to make it scroll so..hope it helps!

[Zerlina]

No that's still wrong, sorry.


It's like a picture of a cloud. Not a background or tileable image of clouds. It scrolls across the map when you want it to look like the area has fog, or if it's high in the air and has clouds. It was in Don Miguel's game.

He used similar to what Larry has. You put the pic and sec it to scrool.

I know. That's why I'm requesting the picture. It's the picture I don't have...who is Larry?



Check out Meiscool's Map-Making Tutorial. The fourth picture has it:

In case you don't have it, this is the one from Don Miguel's game. Just make it black and semi-transparent, then figure out some code to make it scroll.

I'm Larry.
If you're using RMXP, then it's there already.
But If you use 2k(3) simply import it into the pictures folder.
Now on whatever map you want the fog or clouds to be on make an event, name it whatever you want, set it to parallel(sp?) process.
Make a cycle slash loop, then make it show the picture (For fog set the x and y to 0, 120 so it takes up the whole screen), 100% magnification, for clouds make no transparency, but for fog, I'd say about 50% on each half. Now if you want it to scroll simply add this into the loop cycle: Make a move picture event, set the transition time to something (experiment with it) and experiment with the coordinates.

I hope this helped.

Sorry I didnt knolw you were using RM2K/2K3. I use RMXP, so the one i use as fog works..Sorry didnt know.

[Zerlina]

That's all right.


Thank you for helping me!

Using it seems to make my game lag a lot. I tried the Wait 0.0 seconds, but that didn't work. Know any other way to stop the lag?
