Hi, friends! :) I'm working on my project again and decided to start parallax mapping. Doing so, I encountered an annoying issue with Selchar's Harvest Moon style time script. I'm using pictures for the pieces that float above the player. The problem is, this script changes the tint of the map to match the designated time of day - but NOT the picture's tint. So, I have over-layers colored completely normally while everything else is tinted. It looks super weird.
Here's a nighttime screenie for maximum awkwardness:
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fkei4Y2k.png%3F1&hash=d9c76d4dda6d81c6f2062a4ba5f55919b730a526)
What I'd like is to see if there's a way to edit in the tint for picture 1 directly into the script, like so:
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FanmYCXp.png%3F1&hash=73237f58b8dc6ce529ea65f861b30e466ee62c2f)
Of course...that didn't work specifically because I don't know how to script. ;_; I just threw in the script call for picture tinting to show my point.
If anyone can help with this, I would be eternally grateful! <3 Here's my set up of Selchar's script (minus my failed picture tint code):

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Harvest Moon style Variable Based Calendar and Weather System
#Author: Selchar
#Version 2.1
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=begin
This is an attempt to make an easy to use yet customizable calendar system
similar to what can be found in Harvest Moon games. It's come a long say since
the initial release, as I've remade the whole thing to make it easier to
understand and customizable. Instructions are down below in the customization
area.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Map/Tileset Note Tags
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following can be used in either map note boxes, or tileset note boxes.
<stop_time> - Maps with this tag will disable time.
<no_tone> - Maps with this tag will use the default done setting.
<inside_map> - Maps with this tag will not show weather effects, but
will have background sound volume will be divided by 3
<no_weather> - Maps with this tag will not show weather or use said weather's
background sound.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Scriptcalls
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All scriptcalls begin with HM_SEL::
next_day - This scriptcall will transition the day forward to the
nearest 6 AM.
next_day(x) - It also allows for an optional argument to select what
time of the day you will arrive at.
show_tint - This scriptcall should be used after manually changing
the time variable, to re-adjust the tone settings needed.
show_weather - This scriptcall should be used after manually adjusting
the Weather variable.
festivalcheck(x) - This scriptcall will return true if day x of the year is
flagged for a festival.
tomorrow_festival? - This scriptcall will return true if tomorrow is flagged
as a festival.
exact_time(h, m) - Returns true if it is the specified time.
Example: HM_SEL::exact_time(22, 10) is true at 10:10 PM
hour_range(a, b) - Returns true if the current hour is within the range.
Example: HM_SEL::hour_range(9, 21) is false before 9 AM
and after 9 PM, otherwise is true.
week_range(a, b) - Same as hour_range except for days.

I should probably state that this is totally event-possible, but I'm going to have enough parallel events running to completely kill the game's FPS if I add one more. ;9 It'd also be more convenient to find a way to squeeze it into the script so I can control both tints simultaneously.
Thanks again to anyone that can take a crack at this! :boe:
bumping this :-)
This might work? https://yamiworld.wordpress.com/rgss3/field-scripts/overlay-mapping/ (https://yamiworld.wordpress.com/rgss3/field-scripts/overlay-mapping/)
Not totally sure though. ._.
Hey, Aco! :D I took a look at that script, but I'm not completely sure if that will work with the system I'm using. ;9 I think it only uses set images for day/night, so I don't know if I'd be able to control the times specifically and include evening tints. I might take a second look at it after work, though.
I found some scripts that count the pictures as layers, but they don't allow me to move behind the top layers. D: I'll dig a little deeper, though. :)
AHA! Fixed! I looked more into similar scripts, then to parallax-specific scripts and decided to try out DMO's Liquid Parallax script (http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/676-dmo-liquid-parallax-script/). Somehow, this script appears to have fixed the problem. I think it's drawing the parallax top layer as a second "floating" parallax, instead of a picture file. Not loading the image from the picture folder means it will be affected by the screen tint.
It's also made parallaxing 10,000x easier to manage. ;_; I'm going to use this script 4evar
Thanks again for the help, Aco! :-) I didn't know where to look and you pointed me in the right direction. I'll also keep that script in mind if I ever do a day/night system that is less complicated than this silly one. :D
