Great plugin! I have some of these features already in Visustella plugins, but that Screen Shake in particular is far more useful than any of the other plugins I've tried -- a lot of them won't even work for me, due to conflicts with other plugins... But I was needing a very subtle one, to simulate being on a moving train. This did the trick!
I'm glad you liked this plugin)))
I don't know if you take feature requests, but... Would it be possible to add the ability to apply the effects to only certain elements on the screen, rather than the whole screen? Similar to how with FilterControllerMZ we can choose to add an effect to a picture, character, the map tiles, or just the parallax?
Good. I will do it soon.
Awesome, I'd appreciate the heck out of it!
so?
I have updated the plugin. Download it again and replace it in the js\plugins folder of your project.
Hi! Is there any possibility to use more than one effect at once? For example Static Noise + Monochrome?
No, there is no such possibility.
There is only an option to enable, for example, monochrome + screen shake (Since they use different layers)
Thank you. I think I can just change tilesets colors or bind map to pictures using other plug-in and place them underneath the character after editing it to monochrome.
