Gradient Wipe - old RM Transition effect, and more

じ☆ve冰风

Gradient Wipe v1.0.0
Tsukimi (cji3bp62000)​

Introduction
There are fancy transition effects in RM 2000/XP/VX, but only fading and scaling in MV.
So I decided to make this script to make it more fancier,
and also add the effect to characters/pictures/message window.

*** Notice !!! ***
this is an webGL depending effect. If your RMMV version is below 1.5.0,
"and" your game will be on website/smartphone, this effect may not work.
1.5.0 or upper version allows WebGL rendering for website/smartphone.
(OK for desktop application, even with version below 1.5.0)


Features
- Old-Style Transition Effect
- Character/Picture Fading Effect
- Message Window Fading Effect
※Gradient Image will be stretched to fit the target(screen/char/pic/message), so no need resizing to 816*624, just use what you have(o・ω・o).

Some Japanese, but the important parts are also translated to English.

How to Use
- Open your project, add and turn this script on in plugin manager.
- Create 'transitions' folder under 'img/' directory, and put your Gradient Image in it.




There are Plugin parameters to set as effect default parameter.

・Transition Effect:
Spoiler: plugin commands

　GWTransition <on/off>
　　use Gradient Wipe transition(on) or RM default transition(off).
　　Ignore the <>.

　GWTrans_Setting FadeImg <imageName>
　　set Gradient Image for transition.
　　Ignore the <>.

　GWTrans_Setting FadeInImg <imageName>
　　set Gradient Image for transition(only for fade in).
　　Ignore the <>.

　GWTrans_Setting FadeOutImg <imageName>
　　set Gradient Image for transition(only for fade out).
　　Ignore the <>.

　GWTrans_Setting Duration <frames>
　　set the fading effect duration(in frame).
　　Ignore the <>.

・Character/Picture Fading Effect:
Spoiler: plugin commands

　GWFade character <id> [fadeIn/fadeOut] <imgName> <duration> (<softness>)

　　set Gradient Wipe effect for character.
　　id: -1(gamePlayer), 0(this Event), 1~(Event ID)

　　if use fadeOut, will automatically turn the opacity of character to 0 after effect ends.
　　(no auto opacity-changing when using fadeIn)

　　softness is an optional parameter.
　　default is 0, and mostly 5~10 is enough.

　　example:
　　GWFade character -1 fadeOut Circle 60
　　-> game Player(-1) will fade out using 'Circle.png' in 60f.


　GWFade picture <id> [fadeIn/fadeOut] <imgName> <duration> (<softness>)

　　set Gradient Wipe effect for picture.
　　parameters are the same as character fading.

　　example:
　　GWFade picture 1 fadeIn Circle 60 5
　　-> Picture No.1 will fade in using 'Circle.png' in 60f,
　　with softness 5.

FAQ
Post question and answers to common question here in the following format:

Q: Fading out character/picture is working fine, but I can't fade in the character/picture again.
A:
The FadeOut command for char/pic will turn the opacity to 0, so you have to turn opacity back in order to fadeIn.
Set the character/picture's opacity to 255 or some else right before or after the fade in plugin command.
