DAE's Lighting System with Optimised Real-Time Shadows and Animated Lights

SebyDevDev · 2021-09-15T19:18:39+0900

What's been added since the plugin was first released: - Spritesheet animations for lighting - Custom animation settings for lighting (animated lights without using images) - Light culling and various optimisations - PNG-based lights + settings-based lights - Custom directional offsets (for flashlights and such) - Light rotations and angle wideness (The help file has more detailed instructions, make sure to check it out!) Spoiler: GIFs Spoiler: Screenshots Spoiler: Setup demonstration Download DEMO (non-commercial) project: https://daedrakyne.itch.io/daes-lighting-system Buy PRO version (commercial-version): If you want to support me, send me £10 ($13.85) via PayPal and send me a PM with a screenshot to confirm your payment, and once the payment is confirmed, I'll send you the plugin and add your forums account to the list of paying users (to send you future updates of the plugin): https://paypal.me/SModley?locale.x=en_GB Otherwise, buy the £15 ($20.78) version on itch.io (you instantly get access to the plugin and future updates, but I only get 50~65% of your payment): https://daedrakyne.itch.io/daes-lighting-system Hey there! I've been working for a while now on a new lighting plugin for both MV and MZ. My reason for starting down this road was due to this post from about a month ago: MV - Khas UltraLighting Remake for Commercial Purposes Hey everyone, So a little introduction. Khas has left the rpg maker scene entirely and has stopped making and supporting his javascripts. There is no response on any of his available contact links. This makes it so that nobody can get a commercial license for some of his scripts that require... forums.rpgmakerweb.com I've researched the most efficient 2D-RTS lighting systems, and have decided to base mine on a pure-hardware (GPU) implementation. In its current state, without culling (meaning that for now every light in the scene is being rendered/updated, regardless of whether it's even on the screen or not), the game can handle ~650 lights (with shadows) in one scene without its fps dropping. If you could try it out, and leave your thoughts down in a reply below, I would really appreciate it! My goal is to make a plugin that is more diverse than khas' while still being as optimized as possible. Plugin commands (MV) (no need for MZ plugin command instructions): dae_light setambientlight r g b Sets the current ambient light to the specified color. r, g and b are numbers from 0 to 255 that represent an rgb color. Example: dae_light setambientlight 0 20 0 THE REST OF THE PLUGIN COMMANDS ARE THE SAME AS THE EVENT COMMENTS, BUT WITHOUT "[" AND "]" Event comments (run whenever event page changes): [dae_light addlight uniqueID type] Adds a new light and sets its position to that of the event. Light will follow the event wherever it goes uniqueID can be either "null" or any word (letters, numbers and underscore). If set to null, the light will not be stored as a unique light (meaning that it won't be designable by other commands / comments) type must be one of the light types from the plugin parameters. For example, "halogen". New light types can be created in the plugin parameters. Example: [dae_light addlight halo2 halogen] [dae_light setoffset uniqueID offsetX offsetY] Sets a manual offset for the designed light, if it exists. offsetX and offsetY are numbers. Example: [dae_light setoffset halo2 0 24] [dae_light setcolor uniqueID R G B] Sets the color of the light R, G and B are numbers between 0 and 255 Example: [dae_light setcolor uniqueID 255 0 255] (pink) [dae_light setrotation uniqueID rotation] Sets the rotation of the light Rotation is an angle between 0 and 360 [dae_light setangle uniqueID angle] Sets the angle wideness of the light. Angle is between 0 (no light) and 360 (full light) Example: an angle of 180 will create a semi-circle light [dae_light setintensity uniqueID intensity] Sets the intensity of the light. Intensity is between 0 (no light) to 200 (bright light). For some reason, the MZ plugin can't handle a single intense light, but works fine with multiple lights added together. Until this is fixed, you can overlap multiple lights together to create a bright light. [dae_light setrotation/f uniqueID rotation] Sets how much the light rotates every frame. Rotation is any number, negative or positive, and with decimals allowed. Map notes: -- Disables lighting for that map -- Uses the given picture as a shadow map for that map. The picture must be in the "img/shadows/" folder. Example: Shadow maps can be easily created by saving a picture of a map (right-click on map -> save), going to a picture editor (I used piskelapp.com), and drawing black in a new layer wherever you want shadows to be. There is no current customization for RegionIDs (it is easily implementable, just wanted to get the demo out first), but you can currently use the regionID 17 to create a blue…

@shepard82 you just need the plugin (or check demo if it require the images)
if its added.
