Moving/Animated Battle backgrounds?

[kokirichild87]

I was wondering if its possible to have an animated battle background in the form of an avi file or even a multi layered scrolling backdrop like in RM2K3?
Does anybody have a script for this or know where i can get a script?

And Add these File into your Battleback Folder http://www.invisionplus.net/forums/index.php?mforum=rmxp&act=Attach&type=post&id=1805

To make more of these, make a 1*1 blank png file with the name of the animated background you want + ~. (IE: Volcano~).

Then, make X number of Frame of animation, and label them

Volcano_1
Volcano_2
Volcano_3
...
Volcano_X

You can make it however many frames you want, just go into the above script, and change the 5 in "@frame == 5" to however many frames there are.

If you want to test this, Open up your Tilesets in the Database, and make whatever defaults battleback be "Volcano~". Then, battle on that map.

I was wondering if its possible to have an animated battle background in the form of an avi file or even a multi layered scrolling backdrop like in RM2K3?
Does anybody have a script for this or know where i can get a script?

That sounds cool, is it very memory intensive?

[LinkaN]
