Lighting and Time Editor - Continued!

Feelzor · 2017-10-30T04:26:44+0900

Lighting and Time Editor v1.7.4 FeelZoR - Originally created by Level No Matter Free to Use for both Commercial and Non-Commercial projects. Credits not required but highly appreciated: do not hesitate to also credit Level No Matter (aka Sebastián Cámara). You can find a more in-depth version of the TOS here. Introduction Seeing from the old post that the plugin had some bugs that needed to be solved and the original author seems to have abandoned it, I decided to continue it and share it with you. This is a plugin that implements a Time System and a Lighting Editor (in game or with events). You can make a lot of incredible light places with this plugin, and it can give a new dimension to your game! Features Possibility to enable or disable the Time System. Possibility to change time whenever you want with simple commands. Possibility to set a specific Tint into a map by putting a single line in the Notes: the Time System will be ignored. Possibility to add lights by using the editor in game or with events. Screenshots This video has not been updated: it is the same than the one on the original post: How to Use To install the plugin: Download the plugin on the given link and click the "Clone or Download" button, then simply click "Download ZIP". Extract the contents of the img folder into the img folder of your project. Extract the contents of the js folder into the js folder of your project. The file ".gitattributes" is not useful for you, you can delete it. Enable the plugins using this order: LNM_GameEditorCore.js LNM_GameTime.js LNM_LightingTool.js To add a light, you have two ways of doing so: Using the In Game Editor: Press TAB and then press over the lamp icon. Then select the type of light you want to add. You can drag and edit your properties at any time.Adding default lights from events: You can create default lights by simply typing Torch, Bonfire or Ambient in the field “Note”. Adding custom lights from events: Simply create an event and then in the field “Note” add the following line: Light(filename, scale, hue, alpha).addPulse(pulseMin, pulseMax, pulseSpeed).addFlick(flickIntensity, flickSpeed) Filename: (string) Sprite used for the light, located in img/lights/ Scale: (float) Scales the sprite. (1.0 = 100%, 0.5 = 50%, ...) Hue: (integer) Tint scale for colors from 0 to 359. For more information visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HueScale.svg Alpha: (float) Transparency of the light, from 0.1 to 1.0 pulseMin: (float) Minimum scaling for pulse animation pulseMax: (float) Maximum scaling for pulse animation pulseSpeed: (integer) Speed for pulse animation flickIntensity: (integer) Intensity for flick animation flickSpeed: (integer) Speed for flick animation You can set the default power status to off by simply adding .turnOff() at the end of the line. Examples: Light(default, 5.0, 28, 1.0) - These are the settings used for Ambient lights. Light(default, 1.0,15, 1.0).addPulse(0.98, 1.02, 7).addFlick(1, 3) - These are the settings used for Torch lights. Light(default, 1.3, 28, 1.0).addPulse(1.1, 1.3, 15).addFlick(1, 3) - These are the settings used for Bonfire lights. Adding custom lights to enemies: For battles, you may want enemies to hold a light. Simply do so by writing in the notes part . Just replace yourLight with the same pattern than for event lights. Examples: Using the Player Torch: You can activate or deactivate it using the switch set in the Plugin Manager. Default switch is #0001. You can also change it to use 4 different directions, like so: From the Plugin Manager, set the "Player Torch 4 Directions" parameter to true. Note the value of the "Player Torch Filename" parameter. Create 4 different files, all starting with the name set in the "Player Torch Filename" parameter, each followed by either "_2", "_4", "_6" or "_8". These will be for respectively Down, Left, Right and Up directions (same as the arrows on a numpad, if it can help). All these files must have the .png extension and should be located in the img/lights/ folder. For example, if you want to use the default image files provided with the plugin, set the "Player Torch 4 Directions" parameter to true and the "Player Torch Filename" parameter to "player_torch" (without the quotes). Run the game and see what it does!Light System commands: For the following commands, light_id is the id of the light. It can be found in the In-Game editor on the top right corner of the screen. For event lights, the id starts with an e and is followed by the id of the event (without the first 0). For example, the light for event 0042 will have id e42. You can also select multiple ids. Specifying a-b as an id with a and b being integers will select all lights from a to b, inclusive. To select a range of event lights, just specify ea-b, with a and b being integers. Non-existing lights ids will be ignored without any warning. You can specify a list of…

I got decent results making a solid light with these settings; give it a try and see if it's what you're trying to achieve.

When I copy the plugins in and open them there is no help file. There is no parameters. Just what appears to be empty plugins.
When I open the .js files in notepad or sublime, clearly there is lines and lines of code, help text, and parameters.
I've never had this happen with a plugin before.
Anyone know what's up with this?

Hi there! I'm having an error, the game's title loads fine, but when selecting New Game I get:

TypeError
Cannot read property '0' of undefined

Opening the console shows this:

Spoiler

Is one of the problems an incompatibility with SRD Super Tools Engine?
Thanks!

Hi every one,

I try this plugin with my project but i meet this error crash.

I think is a incompatibilty with other plugin

Thank

Hi there, dear Makers! I'm a new one, and don't write much in forums, but for this Plugin I decided to register me (it was just a question of time anyways^^).

English isn't my native language, so please excuse some grammatical mistakes ;)
I don't have any experience with Java, and got just normal user IT-Skills

To understand my question, i want to describe my actual situation:

I've done a common evented day/night-cycle by myself (resp. I copied one). When my Variable "Time" is 22:00, my switch named "it's night" turns ON, and switches to OFF at 08:00.
This is because when the switch "it's night" is ON, other enemies appear on the world map.

Now here's my question:

Is there a way to define the "Time" of this Plugin through Switches and Variables?
So that my switch "it's night" gets triggered at a certain daytime, in this plugin itself?
This way, I can delete my previous common event^^
If this isn't possible, is there a way to do that stuff with screen tints?
Summarized I mean something like: "If Time = 22:00, activate switch X" or "If Screen Tint = 0/0/0, activate switch Y" and so on.

If I understand that, I think I understand generally more about the context of the whole engine and how it reads plugins etc.

Btw, I'm really amazed to see how this community works together and which great Plugins got released by some awesome people!

Kind regards
Kes

Yo, I'm getting an error message that reads:

TypeError
this.switchLimits[index].update is not a function

Here's what it says in debug:
Code:
TypeError: this.switchLimits[index].update is not a function at GameTime.update (LNM_GameTime.js:436) at GameTime.update (LNM_LightingTool.js:2667) at Scene_Boot.Scene_Base.update (LNM_GameTime.js:745) at Scene_Boot.update (SSG_DifficultySetting.js:486) at Function.SceneManager.updateScene (rpg_managers.js:2024) at Function.SceneManager.updateMain (rpg_managers.js:1983) at Function.SceneManager.updateMain (SRD_SuperToolsEngine.js:402) at Function.SceneManager.update (rpg_managers.js:1907)
I can confirm that turning off the plugins makes the error not appear. Having them on individually does the same.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'clear' of null appears with just GameEditorCore and LightingTool on. The original error happens with GameEditorCore and GameTime on. The game boots with GameTime and LightingTool on.

This lead me to believe that the GameEditorCore could have some sort of issue with the other two that is possibly having some sort of incompatibility with SSG_DifficultySetting or SRD_SuperToolsEngine. However, turning those off gave no results. Still the same error. From the debug, I can't tell if there are any more conflicting plugins.

Anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm gonna' keep digging but I'm hoping for the best.

EDIT: Tried putting them in a clean project. As soon as I tried to add a light source, I got:
UnknownError: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_CALLBACK]: Callback must be a function. Received undefined.

I also tried downloading the demo and it can't load img/characters/!Other2.png. I put a dummy file in there and it worked, but now I can't get TAB to work either. Copying the plugins from the demo returns the same result as the github download.

Hopefully this can get figured out. I REALLY want this to work for my project!

RE:EDIT: I will pay someone if they can get this working for me. The time spent using another lighting engine will far outweigh the costs of paying someone to help me out with this one.

For those wanting to have a white light the only way I have been able to find to produce such an effect is by having 3 light sources near each other in each of the 3 primary colours.

I just recently upgraded to the latest version and now even the battlers are tinted. The previous version v. 1.4.1 did not tint the battlers. Anyway to achieve this with 1.7.3?

Nvm i figured it out. For anyone else a little confused create and event to turn the switch on lol. Sorry been out of rpgmaker for awhile should have guessed that
lol, you double posted. Should've just edited your original post. There should be an edit option on it.
(surprised the double post police didn't come in and yell FBI OPEN UP, there's usually quicker than this)
(I mean, 3 years?! WHAT?! Or maybe it wasn't a rule then, I have no idea)

I wasn't mini modding, I was just confused is all.
I didn't know, besides, after 3 years, who cares about a single double post.
(again, it's perfectly fine here, I know, you just told me, I just wasn't aware it isn't a forum wide rule)

hi
I have a request
can you add more light option but instead of light
just add the shadow
I'm not sure how hard is it
I think it like change additive or screen to multiply or normal
so I can have a controllable shadow source

but if you can not or not interest never mind
thank you for your great work

Hi there. Again, english isn't my native language ;)

I have a problem with the battle lights.

The <Event Codes> in the enemy notetags doesn't do anything, neither in the map notetag.
If I set the lights in battle through the TAB editor, they aren't at the same position at the next battle.

I have some plugins, mostly from Yanfly, and nothing that change tints or lights. I don't think that it's an incorrect plugin order - I had that already, and this plugin didn't work. It works properly, it's just the battle screen that doesn't work for me.

Does anyone know why I've got this problem?
I would really appreciate some help =)

RE:EDIT: I will pay someone if they can get this working for me. The time spent using another lighting engine will far outweigh the costs of paying someone to help me out with this one.
I have the same TypeError

this.switchLimits[index].update is not a function
With exacly the same following from console:

rpg_managers.js:1949 TypeError: this.switchLimits[index].update is not a function
at GameTime.update (LNM_GameTime.js:436)
at GameTime.update (LNM_LightingTool.js:2667)
at Scene_Boot.Scene_Base.update (LNM_GameTime.js:745)
at Function.SceneManager.updateScene (rpg_managers.js:2024)
at Function.SceneManager.updateMain (rpg_managers.js:1983)
at Function.SceneManager.update (rpg_managers.js:1907)
Except for the SSG Dfifficulty Settings, because I'm not using it, and SRD SuperToolEngine, because it works for me. At least after I catch it with cursor before it close itself after pressing F12, but it works. (And It's due the new RPG Maker Patch, like I read on forum)

I checked my plugins, and made clean project to check it further. Error occurs only when I have ICF Main Utility plugin alongside with LMN plugin pack (Editor, Timer and Lightning) and time enabled in Game Time plugin. If time is disabled, the error doesn't occur and editor works fine, but I'm unable to use tints and time.

Sorry If I'm missing something really obvious here, but the only link to the plugin I can find is in the video which is the V.1.0 plugin and I'm having errors while trying to use it. I can't find a link to the newest version lol

There is typo at LNM_GameTime.js
GameEditor.TOOLS.TimeTint[0] = JSON.parse(String(GameEditor.Parameters['00.00'] || '[15, 20, 170]'));
Should instead be:
GameEditor.TOOLS.TimeTint[0] = JSON.parse(String(GameEditor.Parameters['00:00'] || '[15, 20, 170]'));
Otherwise it won't use edited tint at 0:00 and instead will use default.
