 What's up, RMers?
Quick question (God I miss the shoutbox) is there a way to disable autoscrolling to leave panoramas "fixed" while the character moves? Like this (quick example in RM2K3)?

Easy.

It's in the Spriteset_Map code, the update method.

Simply block/comment out the two lines that adjust the panorama around like 120
Code:
# Update panorama plane
    #@panorama.ox = $game_map.display_x / 8
    #@panorama.oy = $game_map.display_y / 8
Just like that.

Tried that and it didn't seem to have worked. I'm using Heretic's Loop maps script and parallax backgrounds. There's the issue:

As you can see here, there's a noticeable "hiccup" during the loop, something I thought could be fixed by locking the panorama at the center of the map.

So I must assume his script adjusted something related to the Spriteset_Map code. For that, I would need to see the script.

It's two scripts, actually. Heretic's Modular Passable and Loop Maps.

There's the later.

Code:
#===============================================================================
#
#           HERETIC'S LOOP MAPS [XP]
#           Version - 1.0
#           Wednesday, March 25th, 2015
#
#===============================================================================
#
# ---  Requirements and Installation  ---
#
# *** REQUIRES HERETICS MODULAR PASSABLE SCRIPT ***
#
#  This script should be placed DIRECTLY below Heretic's Modular Passable
#  directly below Modular Collision Optimizer (recommended for performance) if
#  it is used, or directly below Modular Passable.
#
# -----  FEATURES  ------
#
# - Allows Maps to Loop like in RPG Maker VX and VX Ace
# - Can be turned on or off during gameplay
# - Allows for Panorama Tuning to adjust Panorama Speeds or Lock in place
# - Allows for Auto Scrolling of Panorama like in VX and VX Ace
# - Works with Fogs and Panoramas unlike other scripts
# - Compatible with Heretic's Cloud Altitude 2.2
# - Also compatible with Game Guy's Unlimited Fogs if you have Cloud Altitude
#
#
# -----  INSTRUCTIONS  ------
#
#  Install below Heretic's Modular Passable Script and above Main.  You'll
#  probably need to put it above other scripts that have Loop Map Compatability
#  such as the Caterpillar, NPCs on Event Tiles, Diagonal Stairs, Bush Passages
#  Hotfoot Tiles, and my Vehicles script.
#
#  Once installed, scroll down to the Config and set up your game as you
#  see fit.  The Config is intended for maps that you always expect to
#  have a Looping behavior.
#
#  - SDK (if installed)
#  - Heretic's Modular Passable (** Required **)
#  - Heretic's Modular Collision Optimizer (Optional)
#  - Heretic's Loop Maps (This Script)
#
#  Heretic's Modular Collision Optimizer can be exceptionally useful for
#  other scripters to be able to do things with Event Tiles in a manner
#  that is actually efficient enough that collisions with these types
#  of tiles do not affect performance.  This script is NOT intended
#  to be used for only increasing performances.  I have noticed much
#  better performance given the exceptionally high number of scripts
#  that are created in the collection.  Read the Documentation in
#  the Collision Optimizer script for more information.
#
#
#  -----  SCRIPT CALLS  -----
#
#  This script is actually pretty easy to use.  If you want to set a Map to
#  have a Looping property during gameplay, you can adjust it on the fly
#  by using a Script Call: $game_map.loop_type = N  The best results of
#  this script are set in the Config section, so you won't really need
#  to use these Script Calls during gameplay.
#
#  By default, 0 is a Non Looping Map, which is default for all maps, except
#  those specified in the Config.  Loop Type of 1 is a Vertical Loop.  A Loop
#  Type of 2 is a Horizontal Loop.  Loop Type of 3 is to Loop both Horizontal
#  and Vertical.
#
#  @>Script: $game_map.loop_type = 0 - No Loop
#  @>Script: $game_map.loop_type = 1 - Loop Vertical
#  @>Script: $game_map.loop_type = 2 - Loop Horizontal
#  @>Script: $game_map.loop_type = 3 - Loop Vertical and Horizontal
#
#  If you change the LOOP TYPE during gameplay, the Map will "snap" if the
#  screen is displaying over a Map Edge.  Changing the LOOP TYPE will usually
#  look the best to Players if you change it while away from Map Edges so
#  no "snapping" takes place.  You can disable this "snapping" by running
#  a script of $game_system.loop_snap = false, but as soon as the Player
#  tries to move in the direction of the Map Edge, the Map will just
#  "snap" anyway.
#
#  NOTE:  My Caterpillar Script has a feature to allow Characters to go off the
#         edge of maps.  This ONLY works if a Map is NOT Looping for the
#         direction allowed.  Thus, you can make a Map have a Vertical Loop
#         and still allow Characters to walk off the side edges of the Map.
#
#
#  -----  DETECTING LOOPS  -----
#
#  If you need to detect if a Map has Looped for some reason, you can check
#  with a script to $game_map.looped which will return nil until the Player
#  has caused the Map to Loop, at which time, will return the Direction of
#  the way the Map has Looped.  The value will be returned for ONE FRAME
#  of UPDATE, then it will automatically be reset back to nil.
#
#  In a Parallel Event, you can run this:
#
#  @>Conditional Branch: Script: $game_map.looped != nil
#  @>  (your Event Stuff goes here)
#  @>Branch End
#

#  -----  PANORAMA SCROLL ADJUSTMENTS  -----
#
#  Some Panoramas do not tile properly, so it may be useful to "lock" these
#  styles of panoramas in place, either Horizontally or Vertically.  The
#  ability to do this also allows you to alter the Panorama Scroll Speeds.
#
#  Due to the way the Math came out, you'll need to use a value of 4 for
#  you to "lock" a Panorama.  Numbers less than 4 will cause the Panorama
#  to move faster than the current map, and those greater than 4 will
#  make the Panorama scroll slower than the current map.  The default value
#  is 8.  Numbers greater than 8 scroll increasingly slowly, and numbers
#  that are less than 8 will move slower than the map, but faster than the
#  default Panorama Scroll Speed.  This can be useful when you want to make
#  something in the distance appear to be either much nearer or farther
#  away from the Player's plane.
#
#  $game_map.pan_scroll_x = 4 - Lock the X Panorama Scroll
#  $game_map.pan_scroll_y = 4 - Lock the Y Panorama Scroll
#  $game_map.pan_scroll_x = 8 - Default Panorama Scroll Speed
#  $game_map.pan_scroll_y = 8 - Default Panorama Scroll Speed
#  $game_map.pan_scroll_x = 16 - Very Slow Panorama X Scrolling (Distant)
#  $game_map.pan_scroll_y = 16 - Very Slow Panorama Y Scrolling (Distant)
#  $game_map.pan_scroll_x = 5 - Fast Panorama X Scrolling (Close Plane)
#  $game_map.pan_scroll_y = 5 - Fast Panorama Y Scrolling (Close Plane)
#  $game_map.pan_scroll_x = < 4 - Panorama X Scrolls faster than Map
#  $game_map.pan_scroll_y = < 4 - Panorama Y Scrolls faster than Map
#
#
#  -----  PANORAMA AUTO SCROLLING  -----
#
#  You can set a Panorama to Scroll automagically either by setting a value
#  in the Config section, or by making a Script Call.  To enter a Config
#  value for Auto Scrolling, X Scroll Speeds should be the 5th value and
#  likewise, the Y Scroll Speed is the 6th value.
#
#  Map Config: [map_id, loop_type, scroll_x_spd, scroll_y_spd, auto_x, auto_y]
#
#  $game_map.panorama_ax = 4   - Automatically Scroll Panorama X
#  $game_map.panorama_ax = 7.5 - Automatically Scroll Panorama Y
#
#  NOTE: Maps do NOT need to Loop for Panorama Scrolling or Adjustments
#
#
#  -----  KNOWN BUGS  ------
#
#  Loop maps does not appear to work with Pathfinders at this time.
#
#  DOWNHILL ICE DELUXE can cause an "Artifact Glitch" where the bottom
#  of sprites appears at the top of the screen.  You can avoid this Glitch
#  in Mapping Technique.  It only occurs if the Player steps onto Downhill
#  Ice at the very bottom of a Looping Map.  You can allow the Player to
#  slide infinitely, just block access from stepping on to the infinite
#  or looping ice at the very bottom of your map.

This might be a bit... unnerving for you...

I just made a simple demo... with just those two scripts... and the Panorama is actually frozen in place as you want.  If your panorama is moving, its something else in your project or settings.

Thinking I wonder if anybody is interested in a dungeon boss alert Editor script. Happy with a sweat I mean, you could set some conditions like killing n monsters to trigger it or pressing a button Gamer at a certain spot or getting a specific item...

The script would then play a sound effect and show some icon on screen. Indifferent So what do you think about my idea?

Gah, damn it all... Checking out all my scripts, I had completely forgotten that I was using MOG's Scroll Panorama and Battle Panorama. I... I blame not putting them along with the rest of Mog's scripts.  Egg, apply directly to face.

Still, it's interesting there was no game-crashing error despite both scripts doing (relatively speaking) the same, at least to my understanding.

Ninja edit: Indeed, putting MOG's scripts in the JustBothScripts demo causes the issue. And putting Mogs' scripts above Heretic's fixes it but also causes the former to not work at all.

I think I'll settle out with using seamless panoramas for the backgrounds. I tested it and the hiccups are almost unnoticeable.

Step on the wrong tile... (oops!!!) You get an alert because that just closed and locked you into a stone tomb!

Finish battling the boss monster (sigh)... an alert appears because that was NOT the boss monster.  Here comes trouble!

The thing is... that's just the [Show Animation] map event.

Perhaps only tangentially related but I'm reminded of the bribe system from Exit Fate where the game will warm you of an incoming random battle while giving you the option to skip it by paying some money.

It was a pretty interesting risk/reward system.
