Khas Advanced Lighting Introduction This is one of my graphics enhancement plugins for RPG Maker MV! It adds a lighting layer to your game, completely processed by your graphics card with GLSL shaders, so you will get great performance and awesome eye candy. Current version highlights Here's the final update for my lighting system! Now it has two versions, and the only difference between them is the addition of real-time shadows: - Version 3.1 is the most lightweight lighting system for RPG Maker MV - Version 4.0 Ultra has real-time shadows, but it is performance intensive Attention This plugin requires WebGL. There’s no way around this. Old save files will not work correctly with this plugin. Features The most lightweight lighting engine for MV Easy to use Deferred lighting Lights are created from images – you can create them in any shape you want Two light blend modes: stock and custom Effects are rendered using GLSL shaders Comes with 23 lights. You can easily add more Battle lighting Real-time shadows Video Screenshots Click to enlarge! Required Plugins KhasCore KhasGraphics Download There are two main versions of this system! - Version 3 is the most lightweight lighting system for RPG Maker MV - Version 4 Ultra has real-time shadows, but it is performance intensive You can download the Master Demo or all my plugins here (click me!).

I doubt it, but does anyone know if it's possible for an event to detect the ambience "over" it from any point light sources?

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to achieve something like: an event behaving differently depending on how "visible" (how much ambience is revealing it) on screen.

I read your post and thought about it for a bit.. It's not perfect, but my solution is to:

run an X = Y grid check for the light source, and match that with a n>(range of enemy sight) for proximity based on light source. If it's above 3, they will only see the character if they're close enough to the light source.

Run the sight event of your size preference on all of your lights, and have them activate a switch when the player enters them, that switch then checking for if they're still in it. That switch can turn on enemy move routes, alarms and pathfinding, etc.;

as it stands, the way lighting is I don't believe it communicates with the engine where is more lit than where else, and to have that check would be a whole 'nother plugin, or an addition to this one. It's possible through eventing!

Is it possible to add light effects to battle backgrounds that tint the party/enemy sprites?

@Skurge You can do this using the 'Battle Lights' addon which is included in the demo.

EDIT
Oops - I didn't notice this was the MV version. I don't know if that's what the add-on is called in MV.

Hm correct me if I am wrong, but with the plugin the battle lighting option is there for toggling the battle screen to take on the current tint prior to battle? Also the addition to add lighting to party members etc, I'm not 100% certain if MV is capable of having these light scripts displayed on some kind of co-ordinates to match the background?

Hi. I'm trying to decide whether or not to use this plugin or the Terrax one for lighting. One thing that's annoying me with the Khas one is that if you have the plugin enabled it deletes all the shadows in game that are made with the shadow pen. I want to have those as well as lighting. Is that possible?

You can bring the default shadows back by following this method which Khas told me before:

Hello everyone, a quick question, I'm trying to run the plugin with Orange TimeSystem. If I run orange everything goes well, and vice versa with this plugin alone. but the two pair, I have only for example the torch that appears but it disables the basic lighting of Orange. Ideas ? (sorry for my English ;-) )

EDIT : Same things with 4.2 Version

I'm getting the same error as Skurge. I have turned off every plugin but the three Khas ones, and it still gives me the "cannot read property 'length' of undefined" error. His demo works perfectly, but even if I copy/paste events from his demo into my game, it errors. I have done and re-done everything meticulously but I must be missing something. @Skurge did you find a solution for this?

EDIT: I updated to khas lighting 3.2 and it works.

Is it possible to fix the light on a specific point, in a parallax background?

For example, I want to put a light on a moon in the background, but with it staying in the same place (in parallax) even if I go
walking around the map. Is there a way?

I'd like to do something similar to this, except basically positioning a light where I choose, without needing events for it to "latch" onto.

Hello! I decided to try this plugin, but I am having few problems with BattleLighting command. Let me explain:

I set [ambient_light 0] in map notetag. So player only see where lights are.

With the version 2.1 I get an error, but the demo works correctly. BattleLighting Reset and BattleLighting AmbientLight 20 worked perfectly. Even with random battles after set it in an event.

With any other version the command is not working, even in demo version. The commands work correctly if I use them in troops events (it is not an attractive option.). Any other feature that I tryed was working correctly.

All my tests where using a clean project in 1.6.1 and in the demo provided.

Am I missing something now?

Thanks :)

Edit: Nvm, I am a dummy. I found the problem. If someone is having the same problem, set OFF AutoBattle Lighting in plugin configuration

Any thoughts on how one might have the lighting of a tile change (and remain that way) as the player walks over it? (other than spawning invisible events everywhere the player steps, I mean...)

Is it possible to set it so that on certain region like say 20, you would be able to give light to region 10 but not other way around for purposes of lantern/flashlight? Meaning, if I'm on above platform I can use flashlight to point to ground but not other way around?

Purely using the plugin I don't believe so. Maybe you can try the old trick of teleporting to a similar map with different regions when you go down.

Also you can try to use those plugins that copy parts of other maps into the one you want when you go downstairs. If they manage to copy the region IDs too and the Khas' engine updates that information, that may work.

Or if you understand enough javascript, try adding a system in which some specific events block the light when they have a certain comment. That way you can make them be some kind of invisible wall for the light
