This is a JavaScript plugin for RPG Maker MZ and MV.

It allow to add as many overlays you want on the map and battlefield.

There is no plugin parameters and no need for Game Switches, only map notetags and plugin commands.

Define the x and y position, set the scrolling speed, the max opacity and the z index of each overlays. You can also make animated overlays if needed.  Overlays can appear on the map, on the battlefield, or both.

Map notetags are used to initialize the overlays when the player first enter a map. Overlays data are retain in a game object afterward, and can be managed with plugin commands. Note that you can modify the overlays on any maps using plugin commands, even if the player hasn't visited the map yet.

See plugin instructions.

Hi, I got a  itty bitty problem with the plugin; when it's enabled I can't load any of my old saved games in my project when I'm testing. Starting a new game and saving does work and it loads just fine. Any idea what is causing it?

Hello, the plugin create a new game Object to store the overlays in the game files. When you load a game, it's looking to load back the overlays from the save file (which aren't present in your old save files, so it prevent the process).
Little can be done about that, but should not cause any problems with new games saved after the plugin is installed.

Hope that help, 

regards.

Thanks!

Hi TSR, thanks again for this plugin!
I'm using it right now and it's great,
i have a question about the animated overlay:
I read that the images loop goes back and fort, but would it be possible to restart from the beginning?
like having  1 - 2 - 3 - 4   -   1 - 2 - 3 - 4 
instead of          1 - 2 - 3 -    4    - 3 - 2 - 1

Hello, thanks for your comment.

It's possible, but I need to make a few change to the code. Allow me some time and I'll upload a new version.

Regards.

I apologize for the inconvenience, 
but by chance have you already updated the plugin?

Sorry, it kind of went out of my head... I have frequent request and can't always keep track of all.
What you're asking is easy, though, so I'll try to do it this week-end.
Join my Discord if you want, it will be easy for me to keep your request in mind, and I can notify you when ready.
Regards.

done

Don't worry, your plugin are very cool so it's normal that many people ask you things XD.
I'll try it right now,
about discord I already joined the server in these days to be sure to stay in touch so no problem.  ; )

(I bought the 3 plugins bundle but for the overlay it makes me download still the previous version, do i have to wait a bit?)

It was a different link for the 3 plugins pack. I uploaded the new version now.
