malonkey1 1 Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Hey guys. I'm making a project, and one thing I wanted was to be able to do a sort of "palette swap" when entering a map, not unlike in Pokemon Yellow. All the art assets I'm using are grayscale, what I'm looking for is a script that I can call to change the grays to a color/set of colors (e.g. "Green", "Red", #0FFA88, etc.) until called again to change it back. I would just use the Tint command in the event, but I can't seem to jigger the tint controls to get the right look. How difficult would this be?

XIX 30 Posted June 5, 2015 would it not be just as easy to use a couple colored tile sets and use the tint screen option to grayscale the whole set to the way you want it to? and just swap tilesets here and there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In most circumstances, yes, but like I said, the idea is to replicate the color changes as they are in the early Pokemon games, where you step from one connected map to the other, and the color changes instantly.

XIX 30 Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) Then you can just use the different colored tilesets for each different map and just use the gray scale effect for maps in black and white. Edited June 6, 2015 by XIX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaimonkey 43 Posted June 6, 2015 Perhaps you could supplement that with a script which changed the player's character graphic depending on the current tileset. That way the colours will always match (otherwise you'd have grayscale player graphics on a coloured background) The script could also affect events, but those could still changed manually /Kai ♫ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malonkey1 1 Posted June 6, 2015 I do not think you are getting what I mean. The maps are connected at an edge, without a transition, and upon crossing from one to the other, I want to change the colors of everything on-screen. So when I step from here at the bottom edge of this map: into the top edge of this other, directly connected one, you can see the color palette has changed.

Ersatzteil 2 Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) It sounds like you should use some "on player touch" event walls anywhere that a map "border"is located Using that you can then have it change the tileset based off of which direction your character is facing.

dipping dots 68 Posted June 7, 2015 Perhaps you could parallax the maps and simply change parallax upon player touch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malonkey1 1 Posted June 9, 2015 I don't really want to make a bunch of different copies of a single tileset, but I guess that's the best I'm getting. I found a script that can recolor bitmaps, but I don't know how to use it with a tileset: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/4038-coperns-bitmap-color-functions/ If it's possible to use this with the tileset, I think it will do what I need, but again, I'm sure how to work it.
