This plugin remakes how RPG Maker MV handles battlebacks. By default, all battlebacks are handled in a hard-structured fashion making them hard to modify and alter to behave dynamically. This plugin reworks the way RPG Maker MV’s battlebacks behave using a more automatic and flexible means of handling them, allowing battlebacks to added, removed, change its image, fade in/out, adjust opacity settings, and scroll in various directions!

This plugin remakes how RPG Maker MV handles battlebacks. By default, all battlebacks are handled in a hard-structured fashion making them hard to modify and alter to behave dynamically. This plugin reworks the way RPG Maker MV’s battlebacks behave using a more automatic and flexible means of handling them, allowing battlebacks to added, removed, change its image, fade in/out, adjust opacity settings, and scroll in various directions!

If you are using YEP_CoreEngine and YEP_BattleEngineCore, place this plugin under both of those plugins in the plugin list to ensure compatibility. The action sequences provided by this plugin can only be used if the plugin YEP_BattleEngineCore is installed in the plugin list above this plugin.


Plugin Commands


You can use the following plugin commands to alter how battlebacks behave in your game. Keep in mind that these plugin commands must be used while the party is in battle.

BATTLEBACK id ADD: folder, filename
BATTLEBACK id ADD: folder, filename, hue
– Replace ‘id’ with the battleback you wish to alter as a number larger than 2 (i.e. 3 or above). Replace ‘folder’ with the exact folder name in your project’s ‘img’ folder (case sensitive). Replace ‘filename’ with the image filename without the file extension (case sensitive). If ‘hue’ is used, replace ‘hue’ with a number between 0 and 360 to change the hue of the image used. This will add a new battleback stacked on top of battlebacks 1 and 2 with higher ID’s being on top. When newly added, the new battleback will start at opacity 0 and fade in with a duration of 20 frames.

BATTLEBACK id REMOVE
– Replace ‘id’ with the battleback you wish to alter as a number larger than 2 (i.e. 3 or above). This will remove the battleback from being shown. When this command is used, the battleback will fade with a duration of 20 frames. Once it reaches 0 opacity, the battleback will be removed from the battle.

BATTLEBACK id CHANGE TO: folder, filename
BATTLEBACK id CHANGE TO: folder, filename, hue
– Replace ‘id’ with the battleback you wish to alter. Replace ‘folder’ with the exact folder name in your project’s ‘img’ folder (case sensitive). Replace ‘filename’ with the image filename without the file extension (case sensitive). This will change the designated battleback’s image to use the desired image depicted by the folder and filename. If ‘hue’ is used, replace ‘hue’ with a number between 0 and 360 to change the hue of the image used.

BATTLEBACK id FADE OUT
BATTLEBACK id FADE OUT: duration
BATTLEBACK id FADE IN
BATTLEBACK id FADE IN: duration
– Replace ‘id’ with the battleback you wish to alter. This will cause the designated battleback to fade out/in. If ‘duration’ is used, replace it with a number to indicate how many frames will be used for the fade out/in. If no duration is specified, it will default to 20 frames.

BATTLEBACK id OPACITY: n
BATTLEBACK id OPACITY: n%
– Replace ‘id’ with the battleback you wish to alter. Replace ‘n’ with the opacity value you wish to achieve (from 0 to 255) or replace ‘n%’ with the opacity rate you wish to set the battleback to (from 0% to 100%). This will set the designated battleback’s opacity to that value. If there are any fade in or out commands occurring as this command is issued, they’ll be disabled.

BATTLEBACK id SCROLL SPEED X: +n
BATTLEBACK id SCROLL SPEED X: -n
BATTLEBACK id SCROLL SPEED Y: +n
BATTLEBACK id SCROLL SPEED Y: -n
– Replace ‘id’ with the battleback you wish to alter. Replace ‘n’ with the value you wish to change the scroll speed X or scroll speed Y of. The higher the ‘n’ value, the faster it scrolls.

BATTLEBACK id RESET SCROLL SPEED
– Replace ‘id’ with the battleback you wish to alter. Resets the scroll speeds for X and Y back to 0.
