Parallax being the battle back?

[Daltonmayes1]

Well you see, I don't use the Parallax in my RPGVX games. SO maybe, I'm wondering if theres a script (Or if someone could script it) to where when you go into a battle it takes the Parallax of the map for the battleback.

Simple request I'm hoping.

There are ways to change the battleback but that would be an easier way if you don't want to use switches.

[Daltonmayes1]

Using switches? Is there a post for that way? I didn't see it if so. Only one I could find is the inputting codes into a script (like Map ID>'Background Name') But I can't get it to work right.

Are you saying that you want a screenshot of the map to serve as the background of the battle scene?

[Daltonmayes1]

No, actually I have a script to take a picture of the map and make it the battleback (Currently what I'm using) But I'm talking about that option in Map Properties "Parallax" as in what ever you set it to is the battleback for your battles on the map.

Script>Sprites(Spriteset_Battle)>line 49
These are examples, just copy and paste logically and change the name to the names that you have of pics downloaded in Resource Manager>Graphics/System
Don't forget to set switches for them.

Edit: you also have to delete w/e does the weird effects but I forgot where that was xD

Haha, tried to use it but winded up screwing up my game... I'm 95% hopeless when it comes to scripting on my own 

[pacdiggity]

That's unnecessary.
Insert this at the top of your custom script list.

class Spriteset_Battle
  def create_battleback
    source = Cache.parallax($game_map.parallax_name)
    bitmap = Bitmap.new(640, 480)
    bitmap.stretch_blt(bitmap.rect, source, source.rect)
#~     bitmap.radial_blur(90, 12)
    @battleback_sprite = Sprite.new(@viewport1)
    @battleback_sprite.bitmap = bitmap
    @battleback_sprite.ox = 320
    @battleback_sprite.oy = 240
    @battleback_sprite.x = 272
    @battleback_sprite.y = 176
    @battleback_sprite.wave_amp = 8
    @battleback_sprite.wave_length = 240
    @battleback_sprite.wave_speed = 120
  end
end
I think you'll see what I've done (I think I understand what you wanted).

YES! You're right on the money! Now to make my custom "Parallaxes"
