Plugin description & usage:
This plugin brings together several useful functions, including the ability to set an initial blend mode (Normal, Add, Multiply, Screen) using Comment commands:

In RPG Maker XP, it was possible to adjust the Opacity and Blend Mode of an event directly in the "Chose Char" window. However, this feature was dropped in later RM releases. Now, to make these adjustments, you would have to use a MoveRoute, which can be a bit cumbersome, especially when dealing with multiple events.

Another highly beneficial feature of this plugin is the ability to offset an event's X or Y position via the comments:

This offers much more flexibility when decorating your maps, as you can use a single graphic to create overlapping objects or break up the grid-like structure.

You can set the following properties:
  • \offsetX[amount of pixels]
  • \offsetY[amount of pixels]
  • \opacity[0-255]
  • \blend[0 = normal, 1 = add, 2 = multiply, 3 = screen]
You can combine them in a single event command, e.g. "\offsetX[23]\opacity[50]"
