Introduction
There are fancy transition effects in RM 2000/XP/VX, but only fading and scaling in MV.
So I decided to make this script to make it more fancier,
and also add the effect to characters/pictures/message window.
*** Notice !!! ***
this is an webGL depending effect. If your RMMV version is below 1.5.0,
"and" your game will be on website/smartphone, this effect may not work.
1.5.0 or upper version allows WebGL rendering for website/smartphone.
(OK for desktop application, even with version below 1.5.0)
Features
- Old-Style Transition Effect
- Character/Picture Fading Effect
- Message Window Fading Effect
※Gradient Image will be stretched to fit the target(screen/char/pic/message), so no need resizing to 816*624, just use what you have(o・ω・o).
Screenshots
Some Japanese, but the important parts are also translated to English.
How to Use
- Open your project, add and turn this script on in plugin manager.
- Create 'transitions' folder under 'img/' directory, and put your Gradient Image in it.
There are Plugin parameters to set as effect default parameter.

・Character/Picture Fading Effect:
GWFade character <id> [fadeIn/fadeOut] <imgName> <duration> (<softness>)
set Gradient Wipe effect for character.
id: -1(gamePlayer), 0(this Event), 1~(Event ID)
if use fadeOut, will automatically turn the opacity of character to 0 after effect ends.
(no auto opacity-changing when using fadeIn)
softness is an optional parameter.
default is 0, and mostly 5~10 is enough.
example:
GWFade character -1 fadeOut Circle 60
-> game Player(-1) will fade out using 'Circle.png' in 60f.
GWFade picture <id> [fadeIn/fadeOut] <imgName> <duration> (<softness>)
set Gradient Wipe effect for picture.
parameters are the same as character fading.

FAQ
Post question and answers to common question here in the following format:
Q: Fading out character/picture is working fine, but I can't fade in the character/picture again.
A:
The FadeOut command for char/pic will turn the opacity to 0, so you have to turn opacity back in order to fadeIn.
Set the character/picture's opacity to 255 or some else right before or after the fade in plugin command.
