Sorry for the nercoposting, but does anyone have this tileset still?

*EDIT* Never mind I found them!

Both very good things  

Thanks for all your help AJNR95 You must of had a bowl of Badass for breakfast this morning.

@ForeverZer0: I found and changed the line and I load without errors, however the terrain tag I set to 7, a water autotile doesn't show a reflection.  
Am I setting it up wrong or is my char_set not working with it right. I will keep trying to play with it.


I am using this character_set

*EDIT* That might be the same problem I am having with TOA too.

   I am going to have to level you up again +1

I think that is two or three now. Thanks for all this help!

I am still having a problem, I can't seem to get the HUD to fade correctly, I am going to upload a demo and PM it to you. I made a second common event called 'setting' to help me move the HUD round you can just delete that, it is a place holder.   

No problem, I had to go to bed too. I will give it a shot later today. Probably around the time you get up so hopefully we can get it working. Thanks again for the help.
+1

I did that and now the HUD_Background image doesn't even show up in game close or not. Here is what I did

*EDIT* I put Y twice darn it. Fail
**EDIT** Nevermind, still didn't work
***EDIT** I found a few errors, but I fixed them and still having the same problem the image isn't showing up at all.

Thanks for those images again and I am still playing with where I want the HUD I think I going to lower it into the bottom corner. Still playing with it. I can't seem to get the HUD_Background to fade however. :/ What I have so far, I think I followed your instructions right. >.<

OMG   That is awesome thanks for the help. However, I've ran into a problem I can't seem to solve myself. I loaded your images, thank you for those by the way, and I can't get everything to line up right now. Here is what I have.

*EDIT* Fixed it myself, I cleared out the code and "reinstalled" it added my changes and they lined up perfectly.

 ============
  Dynamic Footprints - version 1.0 (2005-11-07)
 ============
  by Wachunga

 0.95 - original release
 1.0 - fixed a small bug with directional footprints and
       updated the compatibility list
  
 SETUP:
 1) From the database (Tileset tab), give the appropriate tiles of any
    tilesets that you want to show footprints (e.g. sand in "Desert",
    snow in "Snow Field") the terrain tag 1.
 2) Place the footprints file in the Graphics/Tilesets folder.
 
 To prevent an event from having any footprints (e.g. birds), include <nofp>
 somewhere in its name.

 (If using non-RTP sprites, you may want to create customized footprints.)

 FEATURES:
 * customizable duration footprint fading (optional)
 * direction-specific footprints (optional)
 * rounded footprints paths
 * overlapping footprints supported
 * handles move events (jumping, speed changes, etc) and teleportation

 COMPATIBILITY:
 1) Cogwheel's Pixel Movement script - unfortunately, pixel movement by its
    very nature isn't very compatible with footprints (short of using sprites
    or pictures instead of a tileset) because a character can move part way
    across a tile without footprints appearing.
    
  2) Near Fantastica's Squad Based Movement/Action Battle System script -
     make sure it is below this script
  
  3) Near Fantastica's Updated Day Night script - again, make sure it is below
     this script
  
  4) Baskinein's Animated Sprite script - see:
     http://www.rmxp.net/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=27407&view=findpost&p=261921
    
  5) Fukuyama's Caterpillar script - to only have one set of footprints
     for the whole group, no modifications are necessary (just make sure his
     script is above this one). To have a separate (overlapping) set of
     footprints for each character, uncomment (by moving the "= end") the
     following lines:

module Train_Actor
class Game_Party_Actor < Game_Character     
  def move_down(turn_enabled = true)
    if turn_enabled
      turn_down
    end
    if passable?(@x, @y, Input::DOWN)
      turn_down
      @y += 1
      increase_steps
    end
  end
  def move_left(turn_enabled = true)
    if turn_enabled
      turn_left
    end
    if passable?(@x, @y, Input::LEFT)
      turn_left
      @x -= 1
      increase_steps
    end
  end
  def move_right(turn_enabled = true)
    if turn_enabled
      turn_right
    end
    if passable?(@x, @y, Input::RIGHT)
      turn_right
      @x += 1
      increase_steps
    end
  end
  def move_up(turn_enabled = true)
    if turn_enabled
      turn_up
    end
    if passable?(@x, @y, Input::UP)
      turn_up
      @y -= 1
      increase_steps
    end
  end
end
end

*EDIT* Add information
**EDIT** Resolved some issues
***EDIT*** Updated scripts being used
****EDIT**** Updated post Scripts being used/new configuration problem. #5
*****EDIT***** Resolved some issues

Didn't know that. Okay I will give that a try. Thanks.

*EDIT* Will I need to call the event on every map?
**EDIT**
Here is what I got, looking and feeling right. Just need to upgrade my graphics for everything to feel "better".

Spoiler: ShowHide

***EDIT** I got it figured out now, thanks for your help. I would give you a +1, but I can't figure out how to do it. :/

No it isn't a animated background, when I change the X and Y coordinates the background doesn't change with it. I have the HP and SP bars in place already.

*EDIT* I am not going to have levels, I just maxed out the playable character so I won't need to tile the bars. The background won't move when I change the coordinates for it. :/

This is the problem I have

Spoiler: ShowHide

Thank you very much, I will give it a shot tonight. I will let you know what happenes  

*EDIT* The second code you gave me is that a replacement? My lines seem to be off a few numbers from yours. The second code in my script reads this.

Spoiler: ShowHide

    @hud_width = w if @hud_width < w
    @hud_height = BlizzCFG::Z_HUD_HEIGHT
    @hp_x, @hp_y, @sp_x, @sp_y = 0, 0, 0, b1.height + 4
    update_sp_y
    b = RPG::Cache.picture(BlizzCFG::Z_ITEM_BACK)
    @left_x = b.width
    @left_y = b.height
    @hot_x = b.width
  end

**EDIT** I think I figured it out I have the HP lined up, but SP isn't even showing up. (Might be graphical issue) The HUD background won't move I changed the X and Y to all cause of numbers and it doesn't move maybe I am doing something wrong. I am going to keep trying.
***EDIT*** Fixed the problem with the SP and HP bar. Graphic issues there, still can't get the HUD-Background to move around the field.

Is there a script out there that converters VX tilesets to XP, I found one for sprites.  

I am looking for a tileset that is for RPG Maker XP and has same kind of design at the photo below. The image below is from a VX tileset if there is a why to convert, that isn't extremely complicated, I am open to that also. Let me know if you want the full tile. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Example 1

Spoiler: ShowHide

Example 2

Spoiler: ShowHide

*EDIT* I found example 2 and I really like the style is there anyone making Auto-tiles that can help wipe some up for that set? Or does anyone know where I can find more like example 2? Thanks to anyone who can help.
**EDIT** Something like round VX Tilesets in XP format. :/ I've heard of them, but all the links I ever find are broken.

@Calintz Oh no, I think that would be rather difficult. I made some mock-ups that can be used with Blizzard's Z-HUD script and I will have to practice at images until I get them how I want them.  Unless you think you can do it without the used of photos which would be awesome and save room.

*EDIT* Added to post
**EDIT** Really all I need is some one to help me change the coordinates of the HUD to the low part of the screen like in my example image. I can only seem to find the Height of the HUD which I can't ever, not matter what number I put in, get it to move where I want it to be.  Or even give my the line of code that changes that controls that and I can play with it myself. I just can't seem to find the right line. HUD_HEIGHT for some reason doesn't move it where I can see it and doesn't move the HUD_Background. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, true me I know MS paint is terrible. I didn't plan on using it at all, I was at work and only program I had "nearby". I am not very good with scripts at all so doing edits I very limited. I can move things around and play with stuff, but I can never get anything to function or placed right. :/  

*EDIT* I made some mock-up images for my HUD if anyone could edit the script for me so that everything was lined up right I would be greatly appreciated.

Platform: RPG Maker XP
Scripts: Blizzard's Z-HUD, Blizzard's ABS 2.84

I am looking a custom HUD made for Blizzard's ABS. I've included a picture I wiped up in MS paint, however I am wanting the black bar to be gold and the text to be white. Also and this isn't important, but would be awesome if do-able for as the health bar gets lower for the color to change from green (full) to orange (half) then to red (low). The same with the MP bar, blue (full) dark purple (half) light purple (low). Again, something that might come later; if a player's status increases the HP and MP bars will grow in size too. The three small boxes will be able to host small icon images of "linked" to a weapon, or skill. The dash box I will get appropriate image for. I want to use images and Blizzard's Z-HUD script. If anyone needs more detail please let me know and thanks to anyone that can help me. I appreciate it very much.

**EDIT** Add scripts being used.
