awesome!

nice! first plugin i saw in mv about fog of war.. would there be a minimap with this compatibility?
last i saw was still in rpg maker vx.

I don't have plans to create a minimap plugin (yet). But thanks for the ideas about the possibility of a minimap specially for this plugin that would show an open area.

I bought the pro version of this asset and I'm having some problems with the fog of war disappearing from a map after leaving and returning to it. How do you keep fog of war on maps after leaving and returning to that map?

I tried using FOG_Reset in a script event set to autorun when entering a map, but I haven't had any success with that. Is there something I'm missing?

I'm using MZ with no other plugins but PKD_FogOfWar_Full.

Tested plugin right now, all works fine. Fog keeps state when leave and enter map.

Check plugin parameter "Reset Fog"

Are you need make all map in fog again? Then use script call FOG_Reset(MAP_ID);
Fog saves state automatically when you leave map if parameter "Reset Fog" is FALSE

Hello there!
Can you upload a small demo maybe? I did everything and nothing happens.
Plz help for the newbie! Thank you! :)

Here is Demo project: download

I think maybe a reason becouse you set variable 5 as value for fog open radius, but not set any value to variable 5.

Idea: Have a setting where the fog actually regenerates behind the player

Do your plugins ever go on sale? I am interested in the Fog of War and the Quest System plugins, but being on South America, the prices are a little too much for me. If not, that is okay, I can look for alternatives.

Hi. On New Year only. I have a deal for you, will write you in PM.

Wait, Google said this is over $800. What's the true price in USD?

@pennylessz I think it might have said 800 roubles, which works out at between $14-$15, depending on the exchange rate that day.

His site is not easy to navigate, but if you scroll down on this web page you will eventually come to the fog of war plugin. You have to sign in before you can buy - and that could be tricky depending on where you are in the world, what restrictions are in place and whether or not you can transfer dollars to a Russian account. It is also, imo, a bit questionable at any time to force people to sign in like that before they can buy anything. It's why I've not bought it, even though I wanted it.

Boosty site holder (company) is not Russian company, so you can use PayPal or any plastic card to pay. It's require register to provide you acess to content you bought, you always can update plugin or download it again.

I not have PayPal account anymore, becouse i'am just live in Russia. For PayPal, this is enough to disable your account. I can't use almost 90% other trade grounds (like Itch.io). Not only for selling stuff but even i can't buy anything anymore. This is not my direct decision to switch to Boosty, but a necessity.

800 RUB, it's around 13-15$, unfortanutly site not allows me set price in $
If you decide to buy plugin, PayPal (or card) automatically take $ from your balance. So, price just written in RUB currency, but you will pay in $.

@Pheonix KageDesu Ah, that makes a lot more sense. If it accepts PayPal I may give it a try.
Thanks for the clarification.

EDIT
Tried to buy it, clicked PayPal as my method of payment and just got an endless spinning circle. It just went on and on and on.

Perhaps you might want to inform the site. I've had to give up trying to buy it for now.

This is a little off-topic but I think it's important to say:

KageDesu has been a welcome part of the RPG Maker community for as long as I can remember. He produces some of the best quality plugins I have seen and I have dug through LOTS of plugins. KageDesu's work has been a big part of my journey as an indie game developer.

I used to follow him on Patreon but moved over to Boosty. I can vouch that it has been a safe and easy experience. You might run into a lot of cyrillic script but it's nothing Google Translate can't handle.

Thanks for all your hard work, KageDesu! o7

Does this work with Terrax Lighting?

Not tested myself. But you can download and try yourself. Plugin is free for download, demo projects available for MV and MZ.

I am using the latest PRO version.
It seems this plugin conflicts with the GALV image cache plugin.

It will show this error message when you fill folder 2 parameter (Probably folder 3 too since I also deleted that one)



Now, when I emptied folder 2 and folder 3 parameter. It doesn't show any error message and the game runs normally. But the function of parameter on GALV plugin doesn't work entirely. But script call code still works.

Can you solve the plugin conflict please?

@XcodedX
he released a galv patch on one of his threads that might solve this problem.
I cannot say which thread it was which is changing a line in galv imageCache.

so I share it here too, which has the patch on it, so try to see if that works out.
if not, please report back.
