But if you have different versions of this common event (in order to use different colors, for example), you should preload images. How to? I use this method:
BF_transicion v.1.0
by FriKitty / CeciDibujera
A plugin to change the default transitions (when a battle starts and ends, when you start the game or load a save, when you open the title menu, when you change maps) to use images and create an animation.
Features
By default, transitions are a black background that gains or loses opacity, and it lasts for 24 frames (or double for the slower ones).
This plugin makes it so
all transitions last the same, and it lets you use as many
images as you want, so you can create a "choppier" or more unique transition, making each frame yourself in image form. Useful, for example, if your game is pixel art and very retro looking and you don't want to mix that with the smooth fade-ins and fade-outs.
You can also deactivate the battle transition so it uses this generic one you will set up for everything else (no zoom, no flash).
How to Use
You need to set up your images in the
img/pictures folder.
You have to name them trans0.png, trans1.png, trans2.png... in order from less dark to darker.
Start with 0.
Then, you set the
total number of pictures in the plugin manager (count normally, starting from 1 here).
Also set the
speed in frames (the number of frames it waits until it goes from one image to the next).
Important note
This plugin has a setback you have to work around: the
commands fade in and fade out in events won't work (they still will use the default). To circumvent this, you should use common events (that's what I do). It should have this logic:
-Show image #1, trans0, Upper left (0,0), (100%, 100%), 255, Normal
-Wait: [X] frames (your choice)
-Show image #1, trans1...
And so on. For the images you will use as generic, you don't need to "preload" them. But if you have different versions of this common event (in order to use different colors, for example), you should preload images. How to? I use this method:
-Script call: ImageManager.reservePicture("imagename");
-Wait 1 frame
-Show image...
