MV - Community Lighting MV & MZ

ImaginaryVillain · 2020-07-20T18:57:26+0900

Today I propose an experiment. For awhile now I've been editing and "improving" Terrax Lighting, which was originally released under the MIT License (as is Community Lighting, so it free to use across the board)... After awhile it is now thousands of lines different than the original. So rather than confusing it with Terrax Lighting by posting it in that thread with the same name, I've forked it to Community Lighting. So why call it Community Lighting? Well that's simple, and where the experiment comes in. Everybody is invited to edit this plugin (with the hopes of improving it). If you make any changes, please post your updated version of the plugin here along with your change notes. Then we the community will test your changes and see if they're better. If they are, I'll put your version of the plugin in the first post. Oh and don't forget to add yourself to the authors if you do (though don't delete anybody). The hope here is that by getting everybody involved, we will end up with the best possible lighting plugin... Or at the very least, if that fails you'll get whatever edited version I've done for my game at the time. Contributors: Terrax, iVillain, Aesica, Eliaquim, Alexandre, Nekohime1989, Snaphat Change Notes: Spoiler: Click Here 1.0 @ImaginaryVillain Rescoped all of the variables to no longer be global. Updated for PIXI 4 & 5 Removed the outdated Terrax ABS, Quasi ABS, and Mog Time stuff references. Added compatibility for Ultra Mode 7 Fixed the issue with the Lighting plugin needing to be in a specific order in the plugin list. The plugin is now roughly 800 lines shorter and much faster, at least in my testing so far. Not going to lie, I made some other changes... But wasn't noting them because I didn't know I was making this thread at the time. 1.01 @ImaginaryVillain var rnd = -Math.floor((Math.random() * 20) + 10); $gameMap.setPEmitterZ(this._eventId, rnd); Removed the "fix" for the plugin order list due to issues with other plugins. Fixed issue with Mog Character Particles giving a "Clamp" error. 1.015 @Aesica Organized the plugin parameters into logical sections Removed the redundant "Add to options" plugin parameter. It can be ommitted from the options menu by leaving "Options Menu Entry" blank Changed the casing in a few plugin parameter names to be more consistent (minor nitpick, I know) Added the option to use modern note tag syntax " " to avoid conflicts with other plugins that may also use event/map note tags. Those note tags currently break Terrax's tagless implementation Added better default day/night colors. These can also be changed in the plugin parameters now for easier customization Added a "night switch" which, if assigned to a switch, will set to true during night or false during day (which hours count as day and night are user-defined) Expanded the "Daynight" note tag in maps so you can also set the speed if desired: "Daynight 10" for the default speed, "Daynight 0" to stop time and use the current hour's tint in one go. "Daynight" by itself uses the current speed Fixed a bug where the "Daynight" tag wouldn't tint at all if the speed was 4999. Added "Tint daylight" plugin command which is essentially "Tint set [whatever the current hour's color is]." "Tint daylight" should be used instead of the "Daynight" map note tag if you plan on applying any manual tints on the map. (Daynight blocks the use of the tint command) Changed map note tag reading to happen only once per cycle instead of X times per cycle, where X is the number of events on the map (seriously why was it done that way!?) Replaced the word salad in the help section with (what I hope is) a clearer breakdown of each command/tag and how to use it. I hope I didn't leave anything out. Added a "version" property to Community.Lighting so other plugins can ask it what version it is. 1.016 @ImaginaryVillain Removed a strange debug system that ran twice per light per frame. Removed a speed test system. Restructured the code to use a switch statement and objects instead of a huge stack of Ifs. Removed assorted commented out code from the original plugin. 1.017 @Aesica Fixed a variable scoping issue introduced by the latest optimization pass. Added explanation how to set speeds via the daynight map note tag to the help section. 1.018 @Eliaquim 1. Stored the RegExp note tag into a variable for the code does not compile the RegExp every time he uses getTag() function. 2. Replace the plugin command switch statements with an array/object lookup table. 3. Optimized some for loops changing the way they are handled from this: for (let i = 0; i < tilearray.length; i++) to this: for (let i = 0, len = tilearray.length; i < len; i++) *I did not reverse the iterator order because I don't know how the plugin works, to be sure if the order matter or not. 4. Some minor changes to if statements that are redundants like: if(args[0] == 'on' || args[0] == 'ON') to if(args[0].toLowerCase() == 'on') 1.0185 @Eliaquim…

Oops! I've got way too many copies of my game, guess I uploaded the old script from one of those. It's been fixed.

edit: Wow I must be tired... Well I uploaded the half experimental one I had updated since I made that post. Oh well might as well just upload the bleeding edge experimental one I made since that post... it's down to 439 lines of code. :LZSexcite:

@ImaginaryVillain Does this umc_Lighting script have a fire option as the original TerraxLighting script did? I don't see it in the help file/description...

@firestalker At the moment it just does Light and overall Tint. Perhaps I'll add stuff back in later if enough people seem interested in a particular thing. Mostly I just update this one first since I use it for my own game, and because it's way easier to do so. Then I push any changes to the main plugin if they're desirable for it.

@ImaginaryVillain Oh... well that's disappointing, I used the fire effect pretty exclusively in the Terrax plugin since my game is mostly a dungeon crawler and spends the majority of time in a dark area with torches for light...

Thanks for the response and I'll keep checking back in hopes that it'll be added later.

@firestalker Why not just use the main version of the script then? It's got all the stuff Terrax does and more. :LZSwink:

@ImaginaryVillain
I am sorry to bother you again, but since you apparantly fixed the "Light lagging behind" on your ultra fast version of the plugin, is there a chance you could apply the same fix to the main version of the plugin?

As I really need some of the features from the main plugin and I still experience some lags when issueing move routes to events.

got a blackscreen if i turn the plugin on. i set all "day/night" settings to zero, because i dont need it and manipulate my cyclus manual. but now its only black and i cant turn it on :D looks like im to dumb

EDIT: ok set tint #ffffff fixed the problem. now the plugin waits only for my inputs to change lights?

EDIT2: One Problem comes with an Camera Core Plugin. If you zoom out, the color dosent fit the whole screen. if i put higher resolution in the plugin it dosent fix it. heres a screen. My Resultion is 1104 x 624 - on the Light Plugin 1248x720.

@ImaginaryVillain, I am confused about which one is far MZ, sorry to bother you.
Are the new ones is for MZ, correct?
Sorry, I withdrew the question. I tried to make the light from the flash lol. Thank you for the demo lol.

@ImaginaryVillain, I would like to report umc_Lighting_mz doesn't work for me, sorry.
Let me explain just in case if I did something incorrectly.
I put umc.Lighting.tint('#333333'); in the script command in the empty event.
I put Light 100 #ffffff in the Comment command in the empty event.
Thank you.

@ImaginaryVillain It seems ColorCycling is broken in mz. Strange...

The MZ version is pretty much entirely kept up by the others as I don't have a copy of MZ. The only reason I have a version of UMC for MZ is because I can comment out two lines and it "works" on MZ. :LZSwink:

@Kupotepo The old version of the script defaulted to off, so you had to run the command to turn it on. I've since removed that. Speaking of which I updated both versions of UMC on the Github. I've got them down to 329 lines of code. For convenience I've also attached them to this post. :LZSexcite:

@ScorchedGround When I get a chance I'll look into it. At this point the main plugin is so vastly different than what I'm using... I'll have see if the code change is compatible. I can't imagine why it wouldn't be. It's just in a lot more locations since the main script isn't as object oriented.

@NBGDani Have a link for this Camera Core plugin you're talking about?
