[RGSS] Framebuffer?

[Xilef]

Is there a way to grab the final rendered frame buffer in RGSS?

I'm using RMVX and in short I was to see about getting the framebuffer in RGSS so I could do some post processing effects on it.

Thank you.

I have never used RMVX, so don't know if this will apply to it, but I found an example of it done in RMVXace: http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/blog/121/e ... tle-swirl/

I remember doing this for some odd reason, in VX, and remember it being tied to the blur method used by the main menu. Don't have it installed atm to find it again.

That's not the frame buffer you used, theory. It was a screenshot, basically.

Still works for post-processing. AFAIK RM* is single-buffered, making a "real" framebuffer useless.

Maybe one of these days I'll get bored enough to reimplement the Graphics/Bitmap classes using OpenGL, which would allow me to double-buffer the game. I'd need your old transition re-implementation to do so, glitch.


EDIT: VX and later are double buffered. XP is not, that I can tell. (Can't see the actual renderer to confirm...)

Hah, the old transition is apparently one of very few things I seem to have lost somehow. Not that it would be difficult to reimplement, now that I actually know C++.
