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!). Tutorial - How to install/use Please carefully read this tutorial before using! Additionally, you may download the demo to study and see the plugin in action. Video Tutorial Terms of Use Please read the full terms included within the plugin's Help. Basically it's free for non-commercial use and not free for commercial use. Credit to Khas is required.

on line 399 where the plugin states to enter custom lights, I've followed best I can to my understanding how to get it to work.
But to success- it keeps saying it cannot find the file.

Just to show if I'm making a mistake here:
PHP:
carlight: { fileName: "carlight", intensity: 100 variation: 0, offset_x: {2: -12, 4: -72, 6: 72, 8: 16 }, offset_y: {2: 72, 4: 0, 6: 16, 8: -72 }, syncWithDirection: true },

I think it is missing a comma after 100

Addition of the comma has made no difference unfortunately. It still cannot find the files.

@Skurge could you send me the files via PM? I would like to test the plugin + the image file :)

Hopefully you can see the file underneath the text here- it's pretty invisible on the white forum background XD

@Skurge I mean, I need to check the plugin you edited as well xD

@Skurge Let's go over this step by step:

1. Place the light file in the img/lights folder:

2. Add your custom light in the plugin (don't forget the missing comma @Daalaff pointed out)

3. Add a comment with the light name

4. Profit :D

Any Game Time Systems Compatible with this Lighting Script yet? Because I was a huge fan on the Ace Version

I appreciate the help- but i'm still getting the error message. I've followed the steps to the letter and it still cannot find the file. I also had re downloaded the plugins to make sure mine where not out of date or obsolete.

What confuses me even more is that the image is literally just a flash lightx2 in an image same file type and everything.

@darkkitten not yet. But I do have plans to add compatibility! I still need to choose the time plugin though

@Skurge did you export the project or something of that sort?
Skurge

#32 May 22, 2017, 04:24 PM Source

I don't believe I've exported it, but currently my project is stored on my external Hard rive, does that break the pathway for finding the file?
Khas

#33 May 23, 2017, 08:34 PM Source

@Skurge It shouldn't break, specially because it loads the other lights fine. Perhaps you could zip the whole project and then send to me so I can test here for you and see if I can figure out what is wrong.

Ok I'll try that, could you recommend a good compression program or something? My project uses plugins that the Deployment (exclude unused content) cannot work around and I was criticized before about uploading large demo files that actually had only 5 maps and one music track used at the time :/

Khas, Thank you for the Reply, I suggest you add support for Mogs Time System! https://atelierrgss.wordpress.com/rmv-time-system/ (Sorry for the Link) But I use it in my game :)

Khas I have uploaded the files for my project for investigation, I will send you the link in private message.
Khas

@darkkitten thanks for the suggestion! I will test the plugin and see what I can do. But this may take a while, as I'm working on other plugin.

@Skurge thanks for sending it to me! I'll take a look a soon as possible, probably this weekend (I have 2 exams this Friday, so I got to study :D )

Hi @Khas
Will you release an update equal of VX version for dynamic shadows? Or not?

@Ally I'm working on something, but it's too early to say if it will work or not. :)
