> Change your pictures on the fly, without fiddling with Create/Move Picture events. Oh, and other stuff as well.
--What's this?--
Maia_PictureExtras is a plugin I made to, alongside TDDP_MovePictureEx, to help develop my picture cutscenes without the clunky Create Picture event commands. ChangePicture is what made me write this plugin at all, and TintPicture is just a nice feature I felt was missing from TDDP's plugin.
--Features--
Lets you change one picture to another, preserving all its properties, like position, rotation, scale, tint etc.
- TintPicture id red green blue gray duration
复制代码
You can tint your pictures via Plugin Command. Why use it instead of the event command? Well...
- TintPicture id preset duration
复制代码
Alternatively, you can create tint presets in the Plugin Parameters, and call those anytime.
For a deeper explanation and examples, check the plugin description.
--Use Cases--
Personally, I've been using it and TDDP_MovePictureEx to manipulate characters in picture-based cutscenes, similar to visual novels. ChangePicture is great to show character movement and expressions, and the easy Tint presets help with indicating who's talking and who's waiting.
I can also see it being used in other kinds of evented cutscenes, evented minigames or menus. Feel free to share what have you done with this plugin, and suggestions for new features.
--Download--
This plugin, as well as others I've made public, can be found in my Github.
Here's Maia_PictureExtras.js
To download from Github, click in Raw to open the file, then Right-Click to "Save As".
Drag to your project's plugin folder and add it to the plugin manager like normal.
--Terms of Use--
You're free to use these in any projects, commercial or not. Credits are appreciated, but not needed. If you want to share these plugins, please link to either this thread or my Github repository. You can modify them for personal use, but if you want to share a modified version, make sure to contact me first.
--Known Problems--
> Pictures may not load immediately if you haven't used them in the current scene. A quick patch to that is creating all the pictures you'll use while the screen is faded out or offscreen, then removing them. Please tell me if there are any plugins that can preload selected files, those would be helpful to share here.
> I don't have MZ, so I can't assure it works there, and don't know if there are alternatives. If there aren't, or you're just really fond of this one for some reason, check if FOSSIL can work it out.
I'm open for suggestions, feedback and scrutiny (if you so desire).
