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…

Hey there! I was wondering if there was any way to choose which file to use (instead of the default png) with the in-game editor, per light? or would I have to do that with events?

Thanks :kaoluv:

Friend, you could do a tutorial or video on how to use the switches correctly, for example: if I want the torch, size 4.0, color: Null, press and flick: False, that pledge at 20:00 and turn off at 07:00 ? Thank you

Hey guys, I'm sorry, I couldn't work on the plugin for the past months since I have exams coming up very soon ! I'll try to work on it in a few days, like a week or two!

grubfisher said:
Looking for ways to implement day/night cycles in a calendar system, with a timer that stops at a certain time of night until the player goes to sleep. Can this plugin be integrated into a concept like that by using commands or script calls?
I'm not sure I understood correctly. You want the time to stop at a certain point until the player goes to sleep?

Nacura said:
Hello friend, the last update of a problem, on the plugin page, I put the scale: 4.0 and when I add a new torch when the game works it adds it with scale: 1.3, and before it was configured and appeared directly, even in the I left him in Null and now he does not take it.
You mean that the "Torch Scale" option is no longer working? I'll try to see if I can find why it is no longer working then!

Erm I think it's not possible yet, but it's a great idea! I'll add it to the features I need to implement, thanks!

I planned on making a demo for all these things, and maybe a video, yeah! I'll do it asap, but I need to get a few more things done on the plugin before that.

Yep it is, but it's just kinda hard to work on it right now because of the exams as I said before. I'll be back soon!

Thanks for your patience and sorry for not answering before, I was... too busy to think about it ^^'

Hey there, im trying to pause the time in my game.. Used the plugin command Time PAUSE, but sadly it doesn't pause time.. Is it a bug? Or am i doing something wrong? Please help...

I updated the GameTime plugin to version 1.4.1, which corrects a bug with the "Time ADD" plugin command ^^

It works for me, so you probably did something wrong. Would you mind sending a screenshot of your event so I can help you please?

Ummm nevermind mate, i found the cause... Apparently i had two parallel processes going on where in one there was a plugin command Time PLAY, and another parallel process where i put the Time PAUSE.. So thats why it wasn't working.. Silly me xD ^ω^

Hello, I really love this plugin. Not sure if it's still being updated, but I have a small problem with it:

In my project I use an event that turns off 2 lights when entering a dark room. Those lights are activated by other events. But when you go into the menu (esc/right mouse buttons) and return to the game the lights are switched on.

Short: When I go into the game menu -> all turned off lights will be turned on.. I turned off all other plugins and it still happened..

I hope so much that you can help me

This is a double post but an improvement you might add to the GameTime-Plugin (that fixes some of the problems with loading the game and the time being reset - you can do a Time SAVE on transport events and a Time LOAD on entering a map)

By adding this the Time SAVE x y command makes a bit more sense

This code adds the Time LOAD x y command so you can get those values you have stored into variables back and set the time to those.
Code:
case 'load': var hour = $gameVariables.value(Number(args[1])); var minute = $gameVariables.value(Number(args[2])); $gameTime.setTime(hour, minute); break;
Explanation for non-
Example: Game-Time is 15:00
Time SAVE 1 2 (stores 15 in variable 1 and 0 in variable 2)
Time LOAD 1 2 (sets the time instantly to 15:00)

I thought this was useful and maybe a good addition!

Thank you very much for your work friend, you do not know why but the errors may be generated by Yanfly plugins, I already have several and now a root that is gender which when I predict TAB I do not start the editor, the other thing if you can add the add-on within the add-on option to add the variable Time_Varible or Min_Variable, You also have the download link of the evaluation you made 1.4.1, Thank you very much I need you to make your time to add a credit.

Edit: Check everything even disable the Yanfly plugin and I prescribe the TAB but it does not open the edito :c

Hi guys, can anyone help me solve an issue I'm having?

I've installed the 3 plugins in the following order:

LNM_GameEditorCore
LNM_GameTime
LNM_LightingTool

The tinting works, and I can create lights in events. But when I hit TAB to pull up the ingame editor nothing appears (this also doesn't work for me in the sample demo).

Also the game clock doesn't appear in game in my game, but in the sample demo the game clock does appear.

Could anyone help as the in game editor was big reason why this plugin was so awesome! Thank you.

In my old project it works, which is rare, even copy the plugins and nothing, can be for the updates of the MV.

@slimmmeiske2 Thanks, I did not know well that that generates problem

Is there a way to carry over the game time's tint to the battle scene?
Nacura

[QUOTE = "Lear, post: 883102, member: 3403"] ¿Hay alguna manera de trasladar el matiz del tiempo del juego a la escena de la batalla? [/ QUOTE]

You can not yet, but if you can pause the time
When you are going to create a battle, put this:

* Put this before starting:
Time PAUSE
Stops time. This is useful for cutscenes.

* Put this after finishing the battle:
Time PLAY
Reactivates time.

On shake screen, the revealed map parts left and right appear not tinted.
Not a too big issue, but wanna assure I did everything correctly and not missing something which could fix that.
Thank you!
