Pseudo 3D Battlebacks

Pseudo 3D Battlebacks
Version: 1.1
Author: cozziekuns
Date: July 25, 2011

Version History

• <Version 1.1> 2011.07.31 - Updated with a width fix and customisable zoom.
• <Version 1.0> 2011.07.25 - Original Release

Planned Future Versions

• <Version 1.2> More modes.

Description

This script is a completely plug and play solution to the aesthetically dull default, wavy looking battle background. It instead takes a snapshot of the screen and then renders a Pseudo 3D image that varies depending on your settings.

Features

• Two modes: the infamous Mode7 and Pseudo-3D
• Virtually plug and play
• Gives the user the ability to toggle map bluring
• Gives the user the ability to change the battlefloor image's location and opacity

Support

Post down below.

Known Compatibility Issues

Will not work with Parallax Maps.

Something to add to your Future Versions: making it work with parallax maps. It should be pretty easy, really. Except the Mode 7 bit D:
Otherwise, snappy work. Good stuff.

Good idea cozzie

Very good! Im sticking with it!

Thanks for the support guys. I updated it with a little bugfix and a feature that allows you to change the final zoom value of the background. Nothing big.

I apologize for necroposting, but I found a minor graphics bug.



If you notice the shadows are copying themselves and creating a very wierd pattern. One blends normally with the map, which is good, but the other isn't adhering, and that is what is creating the glitch. If it can be fixed, I appreciate it.
