[XP] Extra Fogs & Panorama Lock

Extra Fogs & Panorama Lock
Authors: Jaiden
Version: 1.0
Type: Mapping Enhancement
Key Term: Environment Add-on

Introduction

This is a script that I've used to enhance XP's mapping even further. It allows for an additional fog that is exclusive to the map ID instead of the tileset, plus an additional two fogs: one drawn as a "lightmap" to add lighting effects and one drawn as a "parallax" (like RMVXA's parallax mapping) to add additional little details to the map like vegetation, etc.

Lastly, there is an option to lock the panorama (background image) of a map so it can also be used as a ground layer, effectively giving you two more layers to work with if you know how to drive it.

Note that you will still need to understand how to make your own parallaxes and lightmaps in GIMP/Photoshop. There are lots of tutorials on this--this script just makes it much easier to apply them.
Features

• Allows for an additional fog, which is per map instead of per tileset
• Allows a panorama to lock so it doesn't scroll, allowing it to be used as a ground layer
• Designated fog for parallax/detail mapping
• Designated fog for lighting overlay

Screenshots

Nothing to show here, just try the demo if you'd like.

Script
Hosted on Github
Place this script above main just as you would any other custom script.

Instructions

Please see the script for instructions, or check out the demo.
Compatibility

This script aliases the Spriteset_Map class. Place it above main like any other custom script.
It hasn't been extensively tested, but should otherwise play nicely with other map scripts.

Author's Notes

I made this script specifically for use in my game Legends of Astravia back in 2019.

It's rather outdated now, so do whatever you'd like with it. It probably has bugs/issues. Credit is entirely optional.

*adds XP tag and capitalizes header's BBCode*

EDIT: Could have sworn you needed to capitalize the BBCode for the parser to work. Did it break when CP transitioned?

Weird, I could have sworn that, too. O_o

Legends of Astravia is looking really good! I was testing out this script today, but couldn't get it to work. Error adding the script before and after trying to define it for my map. Basically just trying to use one big png as my background for a specific map. The lin kto your demo no longer works, so I wasn't able to troubleshoot to see how you have it set-up. Any chance you could reupload the demo, not sure how else to resolve this undefined fog constant deal.

Jaiden forgot to add the LOCK_PANORAMA_IDS constant to the script. You can just add it here in the script (and configure it accordingly):

module CustomFogsPanorama
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # * Constants (Please do not modify)
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    NORMAL = 0
    ADD = 1
    SUB = 2
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    # List of map IDs, or put [] if you do not want to use this feature
    LOCK_PANORAMA_IDS = [1, 2, 3]
