OcRam - Lights plugin (MZ/MV)

There seems to be a bug in the IsPlayerInLightRadius function: Change Math.ceil to Math.floor.
I posted about this previously: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/ocram-lights-plugin-for-mv.108614/post-1186342

Also if you move the light source using a "light-ex" comment, that doesn't appear to be taken into account when running IsPlayerInLightRadius. That could also be triggering an alert when in darkness or conversely not triggering when lit since the light radius is different to the visible light.

i tried that, changed every case of Math.ceil to Math.floor when in relation to IsPlayerInLightRadius and its still broken

Thank you for the message,

I have floored light radius in link below (instead of Math.ceil).

Here's result: https://ocram-codes.net/vids/InLightRadius.mp4

Is that close enough? (I will add it to next update if it is and give you credits). (But it doesn't yet support "light-ex" rotation and angle - since all checks are character direction based)

thanks for replying, yeah looks exactly like what i want for my game! will you release the update soon?

Hello Ocram!
I have a short memory, but did I write you about my wish of getting your lights plugin to work with mv3d since at the moment the light source moves all around the screen when moving the player.
Also the event lights moves around as your turn or move your player.
Is it possible to make the lights in one place and also to be hidden behind various 3d models when they are in the way?

My hopes are up <3

Thank you for the message,

Tint uses multiply (if I remember correctly) and Light layer is basically copy pasted solid layer of certain color with light sources as "holes".

Also Tint has parameters RGBG while lights uses RGBA.

light_bg command wants color as hex and fade time as seconds (or frames - don't have access to computer to check it atm).

Close as possible for "Tint -50, -50, 0, 0 (1 frame)" would be something like: light_bg #8888ffff 0

88 = red, 88 = green, ff = blue, ff = opacity, over 0 seconds.

But like I said result isn't EXACTLY same because they don't work same way. Only "trial and error" will give the exact color you like to have.

And another example would be: (very dark night blueish color over 4 seconds): light_bg #404080ff 4

88 = red, 88 = green, ff = blue, ff = opacity, over 0 seconds.

Sorry for double post. I have some problems with your documentation.

For example:
<light:[type:0-9]:[radius:1-1000]:[color:#rrggbbaa]>
This is the comment for light, it has 3 parameters: type, radius and color.

Next you provide an example:

Example for 'fire' put following comment to active page:
*Comment* <light:5:300:#ffdd00ff:360>

This has 4 parameters, I think 5 is the type, 300 the radius, next one the color (of course), but what is 360?

Same with light-ex.
<light-ex:x,y:degrees:angle:rotation:startAt>
Here we have 6 parameters (x, y, degrees, angle, rotation, startAt).

Your example:
Example light source with 60 degree cone, offset 2 tiles up, start angle
45deg and is rotating slowly: *Comment* <light-ex:0,-96:60:45:1>

It has 5 parameters, missing one. Why?

And one more question, besides of my lack of understanding your documentation: What value can opacity be?

You said:

What means ff opacity, how much is that, 255? What other values can it have?

Thank you! And sorry for being such a noob with hex.
Your plugin is working fine :)
I am used to Khas' plugin, because it's really simple. But in my current project it isn't compatible with other plugins, so I needed a substitute and found your plugin. It isn't AS easy as Khas, but easy enough. And it's working with my other plugins :)
Last question, my game will be on itch for free, but open for donations. I guess this is considered commercial with your plugin? So I will buy your license soon.
Thanks again for this cool plugin! Glad I found one whose developer is still active.

Introduction
This plugin will add 1 layer for light sources. You may use event comments or plugin commands to control different type of light sources. Event comments are processed PER page so you can easily control different types of light sources on same event. You may have multiple different light sources declared in 1 event page!

Light sources for player, followers and events are carried over save/load. Example if you change light source via plugin command it will be saved on game save - and when game is loaded - saved light data will persist!

NOTE: If you use OcRam_Local_Coop/OcRam_Time_System make sure they are up-to-date and imported BEFORE OcRam_Lights -plugin.

Here's what you need:
1. This plugin
2. Configure plugin parameters as you like
3. Add event comments/plugin commands





Multiple lights per event (Credits to EthanFox)
NOTE: Officially available only via EVENT comments!
(or advanced JS - need to know basics at least)


Use JS conditional check to check in parallel event page if player is in radius.

Hi!
I used your plugin , but there is a red light around my character that I can't change. Do you have any advice?

Thank you for the message,

Have you tried to change player light to 'none'? And what is your setting for player default light in plugin parameters?

1. Nothing, it is a mistake in the documentation. The accepted format is <light:type:radius:color>
2. color is rgba so use FF for the last ones. Also you can try a brighter color or darker environment
3. It is necessary to focus the light (portion of circle) instead of being circular

2. i had tried that already, i guess this type of light is not meant to be as bright
