I found an issue with RPG maker MZ shaking screen command and scrolling layers (SCREEN OVERLAY):
I have a map that has screen overlay clouds and are scrolling slowly down left. If you shake the screen, you can see that the clouds layers don't draw on the sides of the screen where it's shaking, probably because its a Screen overlay and draw only what's on the screen, the shaking screen commands make some part of the map appearing while the player not moving
Is it possible to fix this issue ? Maybe by letting the "Screen overlay" drawing bit more than what the player see to avoid this
Hello again. I was aware of that issue as it bug me in my game too. But I wasn't sure how to fix it because it is inherent to the TilingSprite prototype of the rpg maker engine from which I built the plugin (If you put a parallaxe in the default map properties it will do the same if you shake the screen).
But you made me look into it again, and now I found how to fix it by enlarging the overlays sprite container and offset it a bit.
I'll upload a new version soon. But before that, I'll see what I can do for your previous request concerning the blending mode (if you still need it). Let's move this conversation on discord as it will be more convenient since I need some info about that request. Don't worry I'll reply, even though it may sometime take a few days.
Hello! I was on vacation, that's why I didn't reply yet. Like I just wrote on discord, it's not possible now, but I'll add the option since it's a good idea. I'll notify here and on discord, when ready. Expect a few weeks, though...
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.
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
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.
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?)

Hello !
Thanks for the reply, I just sent you a friend request on discord
Hello,
I bought the plugin but since the discord server is empty nobody got to answer
Is there any way to change the blending mode of one layer ?
For example If you make light layer, it should be brighter than a normal layer so we use blend mode

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.

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