    Is "Orange Lightning" intentional, or did you mean "Orange Lighting"?  I could see either one working :)

    Awesome. I was thinking of using Terrax Lighting system, but wasn't sure if it would mesh with your plugins. Now I have my time system and cool lighting effects too. Color me happy.

    It was supposed to be lighting, but I'm dumb and wrote it wrong probably everywhere.I'll fix it tomorrow.

    Is it possible to make a smooth transition from day to night and vice versa?
  7. Skotty TV

    Yeah smoother transition pls! 

    And how we can set up lights?

    Or is the light just working for the player?

    I'll make smoother transitions and event lights during this week, just need to finish some other stuff first.

    Great! Terrax's lighting wouldn't work, so I'm glad you decided to create a compatible version!

    There's but one incompatibility I'd be grateful were you to do something about it. I'm talking about Quasi Movement here. The light doesn't follow the player.
  10. Hudell
    #10 Source
    I've updated the plugin with smoother transitions and a new param to set the speed of the transition.

    Quasi Movement should be working properly if you add my script after his.

    Edit: I've changed the plugin to be modular. Now there's a core plugin and a separate add-on for each kind of light effect.

    Only the OrangeTimeSystemLighting.js requires the OrangeTimeSystem to work.

    The OrangeLightingEventLights.js is new: It allows the usage of light effects on the maps events, through script calls and notetags.

    Hudell, everything works perfectly! Thank you) One point: It is rather difficult to calculate the slower shading. The value is already equal to 0.3. But this is more a matter of convenience)

     

    And another question: when using the command "Orange Time System.addHours ();" (sleep or moving between locations), dimming is not adjusted to the new time, and continues to move seamlessly from the previous point. However, I really like the uniform darkening of the transition between locations without changing the time. I'd like to maintain a uniform shade, but add the ability to switch the dimming level when skipping over a few hours.

    I'll add the feature in the plugin when I go back home, but for now, I think this script call will make the color be updated instantly:

    Code:
    Hudell.OrangeLighting._lastMaskColor = undefined;

    Yes, it works, but when the time changes the color of an hour is rounded to an hour ahead and freezes until the next hour. Tying color to the minutes, it seems unrealistic, but perhaps easier to make time rounded back?

    Hm, how would you like to configure this color tied to minutes?

    In fact, I can hardly imagine how it is possible to realize ... Perhaps by analogy with transparency ... only a transition from #FFFFFF to # 000000. In the case of opacity, the numbers from 1 to 255. Here, perhaps between 1 and 180 (3 hours for twilight is enough).We set the hour of sunset and sunrise, and every minute increases (or decreases) the number by one. Something like that)) 

    Again, in general, it is not very necessary, but rather a question of realism and atmosphere)

    Hey, there is a small bug i found while i was using "MBS Smooth Scroll":
     
    When the color(or time?) is full dark, all event lights only move when the player move.
    So i guess the light position is only updated with a step of the player?
     
    EDIT:
    Ok i found it myself at line 322:
     

    Spoiler
    if (namespace.dirty) {
    this.refreshMask();
    namespace.dirty = false;
    this.currentMapId = newId;}
    Under that piece of code i put the following:

    this.refreshMask();Now the light positions get updated all the time i guess :)

    perfect!

    This plugin is perfect except for one thing

    Torches that can be turned on and off by a switch on the player.

    Oh and i dont think i did anything wrong but it seems your Time System Lights got the wrong description, says "Player Lights <OrangeTimeSystemLighting>"
  18. Hudell
    #18 Source
    Ah, thanks for reporting that, I'll fix the description.

    Can you elaborate more on the torches idea?
  19. Fitcher
    #19 Source
    well the torch idea would work just like the flashlight but instead of a cone of light, it would make a orange flickering light ball around the player.

    This way if you set player radius to 0, you can actually make dark places that requires an item, in this case a torch, then at the enterance and exit of the dungeon you just turn the switch off.

    Making it realy hard to go trought the area unless you buy or find a torch.

    I hope that makes more sense.

    Hey, Hudell.

    This is probably a stupid question, how do I use the tags provided in your script?

    I mean, using them in an event's notebox does not work at all. Like, if I had a light tag, a light_radius tag and a light_color tag together in the notebox, only the <light> would work. I tried using script calls to activate the light in an event and then use the color tag, but nothing happened. So, my problem is, I can't make anything work, I only get the lights to show up.

    Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I've tried using them in the notebox, plugin commands, script calls.. Nothing works. Any ideas?
