PICTURES IN RMK AND ON THIS SITE

How do I post a picture to a thread?
I'm totally clueless...

Can anyone also give me a rundown on how to use images/pictures in a game, various effects, tips and tricks and generally how to use them effectively.

I use rpg maker Xp mainly and occasionally 2k3 but need help with my xp project....
Thanks in advance ^_^

The former is done through a BBcode tag as follows:
[img]Image URL[/img]
As an example,
[img][url]http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g53/kingarthur6687/seitokai-sakurano.png[/url][/img]
would produce


This does not require the URL tags, by the way. Do not add them.

The latter, how to use an image in-game, is done through the "Show Picture" command and manipulated with commands such as "Move Picture" and so forth. Refer to the help file for further information.
O.K, thanks.

Yeah, but the help file on my RPG Maker X.P is in Japanese, I think you can download an English one but I'm not sure where.
I got X.P when it was still newish, don't think they fully translated it or something plus I don't feel like buying it again just for a help file, guess it would help though. Might try getting a trial and revising its help file one lonely weekend lol...

Here is what I want to use pictures for:
> I'm making a small manga for my game for special cut scenes, particularly ones where I need to get creative like the dream scenes.
> Each character is going to have a full shot I want to display when you first meet them as I describe them later.

What about Images on my computer, they don't have a URL, is it mandatory to upload them somewhere, I see some photo bucket images being removed, do you have to get a license to share an image??

I also have a big problem with the parallax background ( not the fog or battle background the one used in a map ), it dons't move!!! Is there a script for this or am I missing something?

I also need a wrapping script like in rpg maker 2003...

Sorry just trying to get passed the newbie stage once and for all in X.P. Thanks

The help file is still accessible even after the trial expires, I believe. Just access the help file directly. For everyone's sake, I won't get into what you're doing with a "partially translated" copy.

Images stored locally on your computer cannot be accessed from outside unless it's viewed through a LAN (aka: file sharing) or you run a server open to the internet on your machine. Thus, to show images in forum posts and anywhere else on the internet you need to upload them somewhere. Both Photobucket and Imageshack are popular for this purpose and they generally do not remove images unless it is of an offensive nature and/or the account you have with them is inactive.

As for a "wrapping" script, I'm not sure what you're referring to.
thanks, I like image shak, nice and quick to use, no need to register.

I have a trial and I'm gonna check out the help file after I fix that damn ntitles server error, I know a site for that so its O.K...

The wrapping effect:
I'm guessing you're not familiar with rm2k3's one.
Have you played any game where you walk somewhere forever and the map loops itself for example in Yume Nikki ( dream diary ) you can walk e.g left and pass a door, keep walking that way and you'll pass the door over and over again since the map loops itself.
Its extremely frustrating to do this with events on a large map and just dosent work right, you can tell your teleporting to the begging of the map. The whole reason of the wrapping effect is to "wrap" maps to make them infinetly large.

I saw one for VX ( damn it why dose VX have the best scripts ) but I've looked everywhere on the net for an XP one. I can look for the VX one if you think you can translate it to rgss or know someone who knows how.
Sorry I dont see a script request section, maybe I should have made another topic but felt lazy too.

Hmmm.... guess I'm on my own once again.
