MV - MV Nova Lighting Plugin (For MV and MZ !!!)

KillerGin · 2020-04-25T11:25:20+0900

Name: MV Nova Lighting Plugin Collab: Dairnon and the Killer Gin Version 1.3.0 Link Below This 1 is for MV and there is a MZ version coming soon! MV Version tested on 1.6.2 MZ Version tested on Release version. It'll run primarily on the gpu, minus cpu for minor things like animations. Supported: - Multiplied ambient light setting by default (Nova Lighting) - Designed to share the same params for people currently using Terrax. - Terrax Legacy Mode included for the Terrax Look (with superior performance) - Compatible with most Yanfly Plugins especially Event Copier, Event Spawner! - Light weight, fast, flexible, and beautiful! - Efficient! Great for low end PCs, also doesn't have lag like others. - Early tests indicated this is Mobile friendly! - Additional features, like each event has a reference to its own ID, self IDs to easily control light (essential for Yanfly event spawn and event copy). - Supports Flashlight offset X and Y, great for horror games with custom graphics! I know lighting plugins can be very expensive and very often, lead to noticeable slowdown. This will become the solution to light lag. This plugin has amazing performance because the lights are coded as objects (unlike Terrax) and utilizes open gl rendering. ** NOW** Now, the Script comes with a test project, only for PC, so that you can have fun seeing how the different light modes work/look AND you can see how you can set the foundations for some really fun light mechanics in your game! VIDEO LINKS!! (More than how to, also provides a solid foundation for game development) Video 1: Video 2: Link to MV Light Plugin: MV Nova Lighting Plugin by thekillergin Super Light Weight Lighting Plugin for MV thekillergin.itch.io For now enjoy some early WIPs, plugin already running beautifully in different games. (All Early WIP shots) (All Early WIP shots) ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// * Requires Pixi 4.7.1, included in download. * Game Folder -> JS -> Libs -> Replace your Pixie with the 4.7.1 version. * * To activate the script on a map, do the following: * 1. Put an event onto a map. * 2. In the 'Note' field (Next to the name) put the following text: * 'Light 250 #a25600' * - 250 is the lightradius of the object * - #a25600 is a nice color for torches (Yellow/Orange in this case) * - #FFFFFF is pure white light and not recommended for regular light. * - (PS: #FFFFFF white light works great with the Terrax Legacy option enabled) * * - If You want a white light use a white light with intensity/alpha of 80% * - So 'Light radius 150 #FFFFFF -1 .8' (No id, intensity 80%, -1 means no ID) * - Or 'Light radius 150 #FFFFFF 2 .8' (Id 2, intensity 80%) * 3. You're done, its that simple. * * PS: A nice evil red is '#8F0C00' * * - If you want to "Shut off" your light, simple reduce your radius to 0, example: Fire radius 0 #a25600 * * If you want to start with a day time tint, use '0xffffff' in the plugin options. * * If the intensity of the lights are too much, you can make the lights much more basic in the options. * Simply turn on the "Terrax Legacy" plugin option. Recommend to leave light intensity alone with Terrax. * This will make the lights look like default Terrax Lights. * * //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// * * There are two flavors of lights. * 1) Lights with no IDs * 2) Lights with IDs * * 1) Lights with no IDs are by default ON (unless told to be off) * - Example: 'Light 250 #a25600' (No ID, Default on, intensity 100%) * - Example: 'Light 250 #a25600 -1 .9' (No ID, Default on, intensity 90%) * - '-1' stands for no ID so its default on, used if you need a number to adjust intensity * - Use plugin command 'Light on' or 'Light off' from within event to control light. * * 2) Lights with IDs are by default OFF (unless told to be on) * - Example: 'Light 250 #8F0C00 2' (ID 2, Default off, intensity 100%) * - Example: 'Light 250 #8F0C00 5 .8' (ID 5, Default off, intensity 80%) * - These Lights must be told do be on. Use Plugin command 'Light on ID' like 'Light on 2' * - Or you can simply use the Plugin Command 'Light on' from within the event, no need for ID (it knows own ID). * * - There is a tricky situation that may arise with these lights. They are always default on or off. * - In order to control these lights I will show you how you can master these events so that * - they will always be on or off appropriately. * - For this to work you need each map to have an autorun, and need the CE on game load script 'Izy_CommonEventOnLoad'. * - This will be used to call a common event that can tell lights to update itself, details below. * - This game load script is included in the download, I did not create it, so please read the terms and give credit * * Have your map autorun turn on the events selfswitch D to tell each event to set their lights up properly (Script below). * Set this page as the last page in the event and set as an autorun that turns off…

Hi does this have a day and night system with time system like on the Pic above?
KillerGin

No, there is no built in day/night cycle.

That is easy enough to implement using the plugin and I believe I may show how to get this done in the Demo that comes with the plugin.

I've run into something I can't quite figure out...
Whenever I activate the Flashlight effect the regular player radius dissapears.
this makes it difficult to see things around the player :(
When I try increase the radius, it makes the flashlight increase instead. Is there a way to have both a radius surrounding the player and a flashlight at the same time?

Currently There is no way to have both a pin light (a circle) and a flashlight at the same time.

Ah, right. Would you consider adding that in a further update? or is it impossible to implement?

How's work going on this?

Not sure if you're still working on this, but I have an idea for a feature. It would be cool if we could configure lighting based on terrain or region IDs. For example, it would be nice to automatically have lava tiles glow based on their ID.

Yo! It's me VSau- Harlekin! So I've been using this plugin in 2 of my games and for some reason I never got the "Default ambient" parameter to do anything. I've attached a video showcase lol. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

I've never really gotten it to work either. I do what KillerGin recommends, which is to have an auto-run event on every map that sets your tint and erases itself.

Well yeah, same. I just thought I might point it out since you know, bugs and all that.

Sorry for the double post and all that, but editing my old post after all this time probably would go unnoticed.

So I'm still having this bug. Setting a autorun even to set the tint doesn't work. There's a bug when loading a save file where the tint just doesn't get set sometimes. It's annoying and so far I couldn't find anyone willing to go into the plugin and fix it.
(Sorry if this sounds rude, but this is a paid plugin that doesn't work.)

It works most of the time... And moving to another map will bring the tint back, but I can't have a bug like this in the game.

Does anyone know of a comparatively easy to use lighting plugin (Community is way too bloated and complex for my needs, OcRams is not what I want)

All I really need are the fire flicker ligths, the flashlight shaped lights and the ease of use.

Alternatively (Which I would prefer), is there someone willing to check out the plugin and fix it? (Since the author is obviously not gonna do it.)

@SGHarlekin did you try Shora lightning?
not sure if its usefull for you, but the plugin is free for non commercial,
paid version for commercial, but there is also a weird bug, but you can
get the fixed version if you show proof if its works for you.

so test it out first though =)
