The Zeus Video Player script allows you to play AVI files in RPG Maker XP, VX & VX Ace and choose to resize them to the window size of your game or to set a background image while the video is playing.


Here is the script:

The header text in the script tells you all the instructions you need, but I'll put the general stuff here just in case:

To run it, put this in a script call in an event:

Graphics.play_movie( "Movies/videoname.avi", true, true )

You can leave out the two "true" values at the end as they are just these extra settings:

- cancellable = true if you want to allow the player to stop the video by pressing Enter or Escape, false otherwise.

- fit_to_screen = true if you want the video to be stretched to fit the screen in case it doesn't match, false if you just want it to be centered. If you're using scripts like Fullscreen++ true is recommended. (You can get the Fullscreen++ script here: https://pastebin.com/raw/kc1hzBek)

---------------------------------------------------------------

In case you have a script that works as an options menu with bgm volume, bgs volume etc...

And you want to adjust the volume of the video, do this:

Go to line 190 and paste this code below it:

if $game_system.volume(:bgm)

mci_silent("setaudio ZeusVideoPlayer volume to #{$game_system.volume(:bgm)} ")

end

This sets the video volume to the bgm volume set in the Yanfly System Options script as seen by "$game_system.volume(:bgm)"

(I just noticed that using the volume this way may lower the video volume too much, so in case you notice the volume being lower than usual, add a *10 next to it to multiply the number by 10.) example: $game_system.volume(:bgm)*10

You can change that to whatever code your system options script uses to adjust video, in case you have a different one.

If you want to set a specific number, just replace the

#{$game_system.volume(:bgm)} in the mci_silent code with any number, and it should work. Example:

mci_silent("setaudio ZeusVideoPlayer volume to 50")

Menu Transitions. Might still need some changes.

To celebrate 650 members in this community, I made 50 fanworks for games (And an animation for the deception jam winner), each for a person that I vaguely remember seeing a post of here. (in case your name doesn't get mentioned mb)

Enemies are animated now.

What if it does increase weight 😢

Since tomorrow is my birthday, I'd figure I'd hype up the game I've been cooking for the past 6 years with a demo release! The demo will be greatly unfinished and only provide a small look into the game itself. Release is on the 23rd at 6:00 PM (CST)

Making editable diary entries in Y/N's diary.

Made a customizable Navigation Arrow that rotates around the player and points them to the next story location.

The Early Unfinished Demo is now available to play on PC-based web browsers! (It won't work on mobile devices. May add support later.)
