The script uses the map as the background. If I want to use a picture instead, how would I go about doing this? I tried to look at other scripts and how they do it but all I've been met with is errors.
The picture I intend to use is slightly "see-through" so the map would be seen behind the picture exactly how Zeriab did in his F12 Pause w/ Image Script:
http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=3613.0 (http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=3613.0)
#==============================================================================
# ** Pausing with F12
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Zeriab
# Version 1.1
# 2009-05-25 (Year-Month-Day)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Version History :
#
# Version 1.0 -------------------------------------------------- (2009-05-22)
# - First release
#
# Version 1.1 -------------------------------------------------- (2009-05-25)
# - The pause image now appears immediately when F12 is pressed.
# - Transitions are cut short rather than restarted when F12 is pressed.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Description :
#
# This script changes the functionality of pressing F12 during the game
# from resetting the game to (un)pausing the game. A picture is displayed
# while the game is paused. (Having a picture is optional)

# * Instructions :
#
# Place this script anywhere above main.
# The image file 'pause' present in Graphics/Pictures is used.

Any help is greatly appreciated. :)
change
@spriteset = Spriteset_Map.new
to
@spriteset = Sprite.new
@spriteset.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(filename)
That did change the background to a picture but didn't allow for the semi-transparency of the picture to show the map behind it. Is this possible to accomplish?
here just add the file name to the Over_Picture_Graphic and tell me if it works
Over_Picture_Graphic = ''

That did indeed work! Thanks! I have a few other scripts I intend on doing this for and I looked at the new code for changes, is the only thing you added this:
@spriteset = Spriteset_Map.new
@over = Sprite.new
@over.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(Over_Picture_Graphic)
Along with the disposal of it and the ability to set the picture at the top of the script?
@spriteset.dispose
@over.dispose
Over_Picture_Graphic = 'Overlay'
I really appreciate your help with this. :)
You really should add one more line in there. If your overlay isn't transparent, you can make it transparent using:
@over.opacity = 120 # any # between 0 and 255
The picture is transparent but that definitely helps in the event I choose to use one that isn't already. :) Thanks!
