Lighting and Time Editor

LevelNoMatter · 2017-04-11T13:24:01+0900

Lighting and Time Editor v1.00 Level No Matter Due I haven't had time, Feelzor has offered to continue the plugin adding new features and fixing bugs. Download here Introduction I started making this plugin with the intention of giving a more professional look to my game, and the result was a lighting editor with night and day cycle, and some time control functions. Then I decided that it was good enough to share it Installation Put the plugins in this order: LNM_GameEditorCore.js LNM_GameTime.js LNM_LightingTool.js Insert the folders “editor” and “lights” in the "img" directory. That’s it. Lighting Tool (LNM_LightingTool.js) How to use You can add lights in two ways: From the in-game editor. From events. Adding lights in-game 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 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%, etc) 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 Examples: Ambient Light(default, 5.0, 28, 1.0) Torch Light(default, 15, 1.0, 1.0).addPulse(0.98, 1.02, 7).addFlick(1, 3) Bonfire Light(default, 28, 1.3, 1.0).addPulse(1.1, 1.3, 15).addFlick(1, 3) Adding default lights from events You can also create default lights by simply typing Torch, Bonfire or Ambient in the field “Note”. Player torch You can activate or deactivate the player’s torch by simply activating or deactivating the corresponding switch. By default it is #0001, but you can change it from the Plugin Manager. Game Time (LNM_GameTime.js) Plugin commands Time PAUSE Stops time. This is useful for cutscenes. Time PLAY Reactivates time. Time SET hour minutes Sets game’s time to a specific time. Example: Time SET 15 0 Sets game’s time to three in the afternoon. Time ADD hours minutes Advances time. Example: Time ADD 2 15 Advances time by two hours and fifteen minutes. Notetags These must be set in the field Note in Map Properties. Ignores time and sets the screen tone specified in RGB color (Red, Green, Blue). This is useful for darker dungeons or zones in which lighting is not time dependant. Example: Ignores time and sets the screen tone to black. Ignores time and sets the screen tone to a Custom Tint from the Plugin Manager. Example: Sets the screen tone of Custom Tint 8. Terms of use Free to use for both commercial and non-commercial games. You can credit me if you want as Sebastián Cámara or as Level No Matter. Special thanks to Xelion for helping me with the translations. Hope you find this useful or fun

Is there anyway to make this set of plugins compatible with TDD Bind pictures to map plugin? I am getting the following errors.

I placed the TDD Bind Pictures to Map into the demo for the lighting and time editor that you provided in your link above.
Here is a list of the scripts I am using.

Any help would be great. Thanks!
*Edit*Also this happens regardless of where the TDD Bind Pictures To Map is placed in the order.

This is an amazing plugin, so easy to use and no issues at all so far.
Thank you so much for creating and sharing it!

Love it, finally a commercially usable light tool I can get behind! My only question/request is if it is possible to have/add the ability to have a default time, for when the game first launches. It doesn't make a lot of sense for my heroes to get into port at midnight, afterall.

Edit: Inb4 someone says be specific or there's a plugin command for that - I'm using the command currently, but how I am set up currently, I load in, get the navy blue of midnight, and flash quickly to the morning sunlight. Makes it look worse than leaving it at midnight alone....
Try this

Congratulations on the plugin, it's really fantastic. It would be interesting to be able to control time through variables.

I also noticed a small problem, if a paint is set on a map, when entering and exiting the menu or tab, the set value is changed by the current time.

PS: The problem occurs in the DEMO version also.

PS2: Another tip, instead of using note for the events, set to use comment, in this way we can have infinite possibilities, without having to use global switches.

Amazing plugin but...
Light can't follow moving events?

So whenever I set the map tint for example <Tint: 225, 114, 54> in the Map Properties Section. When I access the menu and close it, it resets the tint to the current time. Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm having the same problem....A shame because I really like the plugin D:
Also a copy-paste option would definitely be great. It takes a lot of time to add lights.

I also noticed that it seems to be clashing with some of Yanfly's plugins. The editor won't show up when I have them enabled. HOWEVER, just disabling Yanfly's Core plugin (and leaving the others enabled) fixes that. Furthermore, I can simply enable the Core plugin again once I'm done with adding the lights. They don't break.

Okay, as much as I like time, I've gotten tired of it. Is there a way to not require the time plugin but keep the light plugin? Or should I just set every single hour's tint to the exact same thing because there is no other way around this?

@Draconic_Story_Teller You could use the plugin command "Time PAUSE", then something like "Time SET 12 0" at the beginning of the game. :v This freezes the time at 12.00, and then you just turn off the clock display in the menu.

Unfortunately same problem here.
I love the lightning and how easily lights can be set up. But this bug..

Another plugin with extreme potential abandoned ... I would use in my game, but due to the bugs and lack of support, I discarded.

I'm getting a error when I turn On the LNM_GameEditorCore (error: TypeError Cannot read property 'update' of null). I already inserted the folders “editor” and “lights” in the "img" directory.
Any help??

edit:
I don't know why but it worked when I turned OFF the Community_Basic and MadeWithMv Plugins

Very nice plugin but I can't fix the problems with the option to set colors on the internal maps when you enter the menu and exit, the color set on the map is replaced by the current time and Time ADD hours minutes it's only adding 1h don't matter if I put Time ADD 2 15. Other than this, it's a really nice work!!!

It's very nice ! Could you had a way to make specific cells black ? For instance, if my torch is on the left wall, it shouldn't light the tiles behind that wall.

Bump. That'd make things more interesting.

For those who are having issues with the menu resetting screen tint back to the current time (Time PAUSE doesn't work either), I am using another plugin to not really fix but prevent that from happening. You can either disable menu access and only have certain access points which would be annoying most games or what I'm doing for all my indoor maps that I have day tints added i use : https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/rmmv-menu-access-note-tags.85350/
It has worked for me so far. I just disabled menu access for all maps with custom/tints. That keeps the issue from being apparent but won't fix it. Hope some can make use of that.
