WE DID IT

Just got spit bukkaked by a drunk ghost.

Also...

Added the title design to my game page

Looks pretty good.

If it's part of the title screen and you have an idea for a custom effect, but not the script let me know and I'll do it.

The titular "Chaos Sword"

05/30/2013 11:52 PM

Looks pretty good, but the grip of the sword looks a little short, unless the hand somehow goes into the cross-guard while it's being used. I could be wrong if the sword is at an angle.

I'll be honest, and I rarely say this, but you're somewhat annoying to help out and I'm starting to regret doing so.

As for drawing it comes from "Take or To take", it would take the name from there based on the results of the text match. And yes it would be possible to draw the name from a filename provided it has some special tags.

Just add the following at the start of the name of the image and it will take the name from there.

To set the animated battleback of a map you can add this to the map notes and it will draw the name from there.

<ABB: NAME_HERE>

Like this:

To set an animated battleback you can use this command from a script call:

set_animated_battleback(name)

Name is the name of the animated battleback. Like :test, it can also be a string if you named it so in the settings. like "Test" instead of :test.

To remove it you can use this in a script call:

remove_animated_battleback

The script will not hide the battlebacks, so if you're using an animated one you should remove the normal ones.

I am seeking a script!

It's an example for you to test and see if it's the effect you're looking for.

So, something like this?

This script is just a test that cycles through battleback images. For simplicitys sake I've removed the normal battleback for testing.

Ah, you want to cycle through images and have them wait before changing. This could end up being a bit laggy if the images are the size of the screen and there are a lot of them.

If you have any example images to work with, it would help a lot.

So, what you basically want is a script that allows you to set an animation from the database as a looping background in battle?
