So I'm sorta running into a problem with parallax mapping, how can I make light fall from like a window? Is there any gimp/photosthop tutorial for that? I'd like the light of the window to reflect on the floor.
Parallax mapping - light?

What script are you using? You can put it in some kind of overlay layer.

If you're asking on how to do light and shadows in an image program - that is basically an artists skill that takes a lot of practice, and I'm not an artist. But I can give an example where the artist made a video of how he works (not a tutorial video unfortunately, and it was speeded up so it's almost impossible to identify the tools used).
Below the picture is a link to that video, including showing how the shadow of the ship was done and how the wave-pattern light on the bottom of the sea (on the rocks) was done: http://batkya.deviantart.com/art/Above-and-below-341670096?hf=1
That said, it might be easier to do if you use Yami's parallax script instead of a simple parallax lock script - yami's script (sorry, I don't have the link) adds a light-layer and a shadow-layer to the regular top and bottom parallaxes, allowing you to place those effects in different pictures. That might make things simpler for you. -
I've known about Yami's script and I've been using it. The thing is, I can't create a light layer as I don't know how to make the light fall properly.If you're asking on how to do light and shadows in an image program - that is basically an artists skill that takes a lot of practice, and I'm not an artist.

I can create a shadow just fine, but I just don't know how to create a nice looking windowlight, like the sun 'beams' through the window, on the floor and the surrounding stuff. -

Like how the light falls here, sort of. -
That's mine. I just draw the shape of the window, completely white, stretch it out a bit (depending on the position of the sun), then put this layer on 'soft light' in Photoshop, so that it gives the illusion of light shining onto the map.
