HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable

Kind of Animated Sprites

In the latest release of your favorite engine, HiddenChest offers a new feature, to show or hide sprites as if they were curtains! Yeah, the effect does appear to be like an invisible curtain that shows or hides them! I know, there might be other ways to achieve the same effect, but it also works vertically! You don't believe me!? Then take a look at these screenshots!

The almost same happens if the scene closes but they go the other way around! And nope, they are not wrong, I just skipped the final result where everything looks normal.

There is a new script called SceneExample where you can see how to create or edit any scene to make it take advantage of the new features!

Really guys, I am getting out of ideas so please contribute with some curious featurettes I could probably add to the engine!

By the way, if you want to check what is the engine version you are using, print or puts it by calling print HIDDENCHEST::VERSION. The current official release is version 1.1.16!

Technical Details

This version also included a minor fix that solved an issue with the window taking longer than necessary to open or close because it called too many times a single method / function but that has been smashed already!

New Script Calls!

Sprite#reduce_speed and Sprite#reduce_speed= Sprite#increase_width! Sprite#reduce_width! Sprite#increase_height! and Sprite#reduce_height!

The first two calls measures speed as amount of pixels to show or hide per screen refresh alias frame.

Keep in mind this is only valid for regular Sprites! RPG::Animations, those found in the Animations database aren't taken in consideration at all.
