Visual Stages Plugin - RPG Maker MZ

Introduction

Create beautiful landscapes and maps with the Visual Stage Plugin. 

In RPG Maker MZ, it only allows you  by default to just have one parallax. At most, you would not be contented if you want parts of each of the parallax to move individually, rather than just one collective static map. This allows you to create unlimited parallax, picture above tilemap and even overheads.

Features:

• Unlimited Parallax Layers
• Unlimited Overtile / Picture above Tilemaps - these are pictures that can be binded with the map. The characters can step on them.
• Unlimited Overhead Layers - these are pictures that are above all, but not above Weathers and Sprite Destination / Mouse Flashing Tile. These images can be used to do godrays, lighting, etc.

Customizations:

• Scrolling of Layers
• Placement of Layers

---

In this example, you could see that the parallax shows before the tilemap. This is a parallax.

If you're making a side scrolling game, you can even make something like this. This allows you to make a layer move differently with each layer, such as which ones is slower or faster in scrolling.

All the map needs is this.

All the parallax are inside the note tag.

Sample Tag:

<visual stage parallax>
 
Parallax1, 0.1, 0, 0
Parallax2, 0.2, 0, 1
Parallax3, 0.1, 0, 2
Parallax4, 0.05, 0, 3
Parallax5, 0, 0, 4
Parallax6, 0, 0, 5
</visual stage parallax>
<visual stage overhead>
Parallax7, 0, 0, 0
</visual stage overhead>

These are possible with the layers individually placed and saved as each layer.

To see it in action:

This is a visual plugin. This can be used together with my Falling Leaves Plugin. This will allow you to have a full control over how you would want your map to be.
