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)"

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")

Savefiles from the demo are now compatible with the Fullversion + the demo can be played in 2 other languages now: German and Simplified Chinese.

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)

I'm testing the lighting for the game, aside from placing the sprites. #rpgmaker #pixelart

Finally gave the actors some idle animations + animated shadows. Still gotta animate enemy.

Also new robot dog party member and switching elements now exists.

btw @Alpherisk is helping me with attack animations for the combination skills.

Kazia and Valdrich in a new style. (*^^*)♡ #pixelart #rpgmaker

What if it does increase weight 😢

Enemies are animated now.

Vltra Mayhem Demo is up!

Menu Transitions. Might still need some changes.
