Accessory Parameter Values
-X, Y: Adjusts the direction of the scrolling mask image.
-Z: Adjusts the zoom level of the mask image. A positive number increases the zoom level, whereas a negative number decreases the zoom level.
-Rx, Ry, and Rz: Adjusts the RBG value of the mask, within a range of 0~1.
-Si: Adjusts the blur/sharpness of the fade transition.
-Tr: Adjusts the progression of the fade transition.
Editing the Code Parameters
-Line 8: #define UseTex: Determines what type of mask is applied for the transition. Setting this to 0 creates a solid color mask; 1 creates a mask from a still image; 2 creates a mask from a .gif or .apng file; 3 creates a mask from MMD's built-in screen.bmp.
-Line 9: #define TexFile: Determines what file to reference when creating a mask using a still image or animated file.
-Line 10: #define AnimeStart: Determines the starting time, in seconds, when creating a mask using an animated file.
-Line 11: #define MaskFile: Determines what file to reference for the transition fades.
-Line 13: float TexWidthSize: Determines the width of the mask image, represented as a ratio. Setting this value to 1.0 means the image will be displayed at its true width, without being stretched or compressed.
-Line 14: float TexHeightSize: Determines the height of the mask image, represented as a ratio. Setting this value to 1.0 means the image will be displayed at its true height, without being stretched or compressed.
Tips
-MaskFade is a modification of Dance InterventionP's Laughing Man effect.
-MaskFade was created using the KiriKiri visual novel framework as reference.
-Sometimes a model's edgelines will not be masked over. HariganeP recommends using an effect such as EdgeControl to manually hide the edgelines.
-The .x accessory and .pmd file are both the same effect. The .pmd variation is unable to support screen.bmp masks, but otherwise remains the same as the accessory.
