Deity Random Fadein [XP-style transitions]

[modern algebra]

Random Fadein
Version: 0.9
Author: Deity
Date: January 11, 2010

Description

This script allows you to use transition files for regular teleports instead of default fade, similar to the battle transitions. it selects from them randomly  

Features

• Can use pretty transitions for regular teleport events.
• Can use as many transitions as you like and the script will automatically select randomly from them
• Very easy configuration options

Instructions

Place this script into its own slot in the Script Editor (F11), above Main and below the default scripts. I would recommend that you put this script ABOVE all other custom scripts you are using.

For setting the script up: first, you need to create a new folder in Graphics named Fadein. Now, add all of the transition files you want to use  into that new folder. Then, all you need to do is configure the settings below and you're all set.

Script

It is recommended that you get the script from the demo, so you can see where to put the transition files (in a new Fadein folder)

Support

Please post in this topic at rmrk.net and I will either answer the question myself or refer your question to the script author. You could also go to rpgvx.net and ask Deity directly.

Known Compatibility Issues

The script apparently overwrites a couple methods, so it may interfere with other scripts that deal with transitions or with player transfers. You should put this script above Main and below the other default scripts, but you should probably put it ABOVE any other custom scripts you are using.

Demo

Demo is attached. It is recommended that you get it from the demo so you can see where to put the transition graphics.

Translator's Notes

All of the credit goes to Deity. I made only one minor edit to the script.
