The RPG Maker Resource Kit

I've been using Yanfly's Snapshot Battleback script for a while, and simply love it. However, I came to a point where I would like some events to show up on the map when it gets used for the battleback.

So, in brief, his script will take a snapshot of the current map when entering a battle and use it as the backdrop for combat without any of the map's events. I'd like to be able to add a comment or something to certain events to make them show up when the snapshot is taken, if possible.

If it can't be done, or would require a ton of work/re-writing the script, then don't worry about it. His script is shown below:

# Yanfly Engine Melody - Snapshot Battle Back
# Last Date Updated: 2010.04.16
# Level: Easy
#
# For a quick and easy way of getting a map-related backdrop without that
# cheesy radial blur that RPG Maker VX comes with, why not just use a snapshot
# of whatever map you're currently on instead? This script removes the radial
# blur and throws in a slightly zoomed snapshot of the current map without any
# events hindering it.

Still looking for any kind of help with this.
