MZ Shadow Darken

FEATURES
A basic plugin that allows you to specify regions that will be in shadow. These regions will make the player and events fade darker and lighter as they move from shadow to light (similar to Suikoden 2 for those who have played that). This plugin may not be compatible with other plugins that also change the blend color of map events. This plugin does not automatically place the shadows.

MZ Action Indicators

FEATURES
Enables you to display an icon above the event the player is facing. This icon has a floating up and down movement and is determined using a tag inside a comment anywhere on an event’s active page. The idea for this is to be used to indicate to the player what the action key will do before they press it.

MZ Message Styles

FEATURES
This plugin allows you to display messages above characters on the map like ‘speech bubbles’ to show which character is talking. Plugin commands allow changing the windowskin and arrow graphic of the message windows.
These message pop-ups will shift around to try and stay on the screen no matter where the character they are targeted on is standing.

​Additionally, you can change the windowskin of the pop or default messages during game, or just temporarily change them for individual messages.

MZ Layer Graphics

FEATURES
This plugin allows you to use graphics as layers on the map. The layers can appear at different height levels (below the map, below characters, above everything, etc.) and can move in different ways. This was designed to be used for layer mapping (aka parallax mapping) as well as fogs and other effects.

In addition to map layers, layers can also be created in battles, allowing fogs and other effects.
