Extra Fogs & Panorama Lock By Jaiden ​Introduction This is a script that I've used to enhance XP's mapping even further. It allows for an additional fog that is exclusive to the map ID instead of the tileset, plus an additional two fogs: one drawn as a "lightmap" to add lighting effects and one drawn as a "parallax" (like RMVXA's parallax mapping) to add additional little details to the map like vegetation, etc.
#==============================================================================
# Extra Fogs & Panorama Lock
# - - -
# By Jaiden (RPGmaker.net / rpgmakerweb.com)
# (Twitter: @studioalemni)
# v1.0 - September 2019
# * Allows for an additional fog, which is per map instead of per tileset
# * Allows a panorama to lock so it doesn't scroll, allowing it to be used
# as a ground layer
# (Thanks to Game_Guy from www.chaos-project.com for help on this)
# * Designated fog for parallax/detail mapping
# * Designated fog for lighting overlay
#
# [[Compatibility]]
# This script aliases the Spriteset_Map class. Place it above main
# like any other custom script.
# It hasn't been extensively tested, but should otherwise play nicely
# with other map scripts.
#
# [[How to Use]]
# The "fogs" folder should contains two subfolders:
# /Fogs/Lightmaps
# /Fogs/Parallax
#
# In these folders, place a file named "Map[MAPID]", such as "Map002.png"
# If the file is detected, it will be applied to the map.
#
# ***NOTE: In order to get the desired effect, these files MUST be the same size
# as the map they're applied to. If they are not, the panorama/lights will not
# match up with the tilemap / player.
#
# Lightmaps will always have subtractive blending, and "parallax" will always
# be drawn above the ground layer but below the player. This means the player
# can always walk over items in the parallax, and is best reserved for things
# like vegetation, etc.

# already existing map fog.

# Please follow the format exactly, and do not modify the "else"
# or the lines below it. Mind your commas!
