Special Transfers
Version: 0.1
Author: Logan Forrests
Date: December 10, 2011

Version History


  • <Version 0.1> 2011.12.10 - Original Release

Planned Future Versions

The main purpose was to create instant transitions between one map and another. Thus, nothing is planned, as such. However, I'll likely add more transition effects at some point (thus why it's a version 0.1).

Description


By using a script call in the desired transfer event's commands list, you can change the transition effect.

Features

  • Specify the duration of the transition effect
  • Choose a graphic to use in the transition
  • Can use the default VX transfer effect (fadeout/fade-in) by not using a script call

Instructions

Details can be found in the script under Description.

All that is required is to create a Script call within the transfer event calling the appropriate method.

Graphics used as part of the transition effect should be placed in the Graphics\Pictures folder.

#
#   v1.0  - 11.10.2011
#       Original release of the script
#
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Description
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# By using a script call in the desired transfer event's commands list, you
# can change the transition effect.
#
# Note: No script call will cause the default fade out/fade in screen
#       transition.
#
#   special_transfer([duration[, filename[, vague]]])
#
#   - Allows the transition to occur over a period of frames. No values are
#     necessary if you are happy with the defaults.
#       - duration: number of frames between start and end of the
#                   transition. Default is 30 (1/2 second).
#       - filename: the graphic to use in the transition. The graphic must be
#                   located in the Graphics\Pictures folder of the game.
#                   Default is no graphic.
#       - vague   : sets the ambiguity of the borderline between the graphic's
#                   starting and ending points. The larger the value, the
#                   greater the ambiguity. Default is 40.
#
#   instant_transfer
#
#   - This will perform an instant transition, much like you can do in RMXP.
#   - It actually calls special_transfer with 0 duration meaning it will take
#     0 seconds to transition.
#
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Script Installation
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Simply place the script in the Materials section of the Script Editor.
#
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Support
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The script has been written and tested with no other scripts in place.
#
# Should you encounter any issues once this script has been installed, there
# are a number of things you can do:
#
#  - Shift your scripts around: sometimes it's a conflict with other scripts
#    whose properties have not yet been initialized.
#  - Make a new project, add this script first and then add other scripts in
#    one by one running Test Play after adding each script. Make a note of
#    which script you added last. This is likely the conflicting culprit.
#
# If you have success in identifying the script that may be causing a problem,
# or you have had no success in fixing the issue(s), feel free to make contact
# on rmrk.net where I usually hang around or make a post on the relevant
# thread.
# Please provide as much information as you can if you do need support.
# The more info, the quicker I can figure out a fix.

Support


This thread is the best point of contact for support. Please put as much info as possible in your post.

Known Compatibility Issues

None known.

This script aliases Scene_Map#update_transfer_player.

If the original update_transfer_player has been changed, the default transfer transition effect may not work as it would normally work. Also, if Graphics.transition has been overwritten, there may be issues with that. But since Graphics is a hidden module, it shouldn't be a commonly touched method.

Demo


No demo exists as it should be fairly easy to use.

Author's Notes


I wrote this up quickly to play around with an idea I have involving maps that have instant or near-instant transition effects. It could be done in RMXP but was taken out in VX. So, this script also adds as a way to introduce that process to VX.

Restrictions

Only that my name (LoganForrests) should remain in the script. Other than that, use it as you will. Feel free to expand what this script does and I'll update the OP accordingly.
(Why do I always feel like it's the end of the world and I'm the last man standing?)

I'm loving that instant transfer. I can see how this could be used to make a map appear like it has changed drastically with a simple instant transfer command!

Awesome script! Great job, Logan! :)
