Fancy-pants Crossfade Script!

[Kayzee 4,032]

Here is something I did ages ago but I recently got motivation to finish up and release for everyone! It's a script that changes how fades work to use transitions like the battle transition fade. Give it a try!

# ** Crossfader, by: KilloZapit
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Just a script to tweak the fades to use fancy crossfades like the
# battle transition screens for all fades.

module KZFadeConfig
  # FADE_IMAGE: Transition image used for fades.
  # Works the battle transition image, use "" to use no image.
  FADE_IMAGE = "Graphics/System/Fade"
  # FADE_EDGE: Effects how smooth image fades are.
  FADE_EDGE = 100
  # FADE_TIME: Set to a number to set how long fades take or leave nil for
  # a default value based on the transition_speed method.
  FADE_TIME = nil
  # FADE_TIME_FACTOR: Multiplier for default fade times.
  FADE_TIME_FACTOR = 2
 
  # DO_MAP_FADES: If true, changes map transfers to use crossfades instead.
  # Only works with fades to black though, fades to white will be the same.
  DO_MAP_FADES = true
 
  # DO_BATTLE_FADES: If true, changes fadeing out after a battle to use
  # crossfades after a compleated battle.
  DO_BATTLE_FADES = true
  # D0_BATTLE_RUN_CROSSFADE: If this is true it will do a normal fade instead of
  # a crossfade if the battle ends and some enemies are still alive.
  D0_BATTLE_RUN_FADE = true
 
  # DO_GAMEOVER_FADES: changes the gameover scene to use crossfades as well,
  # though they will be a lot slower, using the gameover scene's fade times.
  DO_GAMEOVER_FADES = true
  # DO_GAMEOVER_FADEOUT_FROZEN_GRAPHICS: if this is true it will fade out what
  # ever was displayed on the screen before displaying the gameover screen,
  # if it is false it will fade directly to the gameover screen instead.
  DO_GAMEOVER_FADEOUT_FROZEN_GRAPHICS = false

By default this is made to use an image in the Graphics/System/ directory. You can set it to use no image, but it's not hard to make a simple image to use. Here is the one I use:

 

 

Though I set RPG Maker VX Ace to use a 640x480 resolution so it's bigger then the default size, but it can be easily scaled down if need be.
