qiujiu · 2022-02-09T01:56:45+0900

Name:QJ-Lighting Version:RMMZ-V2.2 Itch.io:URL Introduction: It is no different from other plugins with ultra light and shadow in effect, but it integrates the functions of all plugins, so the functions are more comprehensive. I collected, organized and studied many lighting plugin. It`s compatible with UM7-MZ and my doodads plugin in MZ. Video: Screenshot: Spoiler: screenshot Features: 1. flexible dynamic effect realization method. 2. Events/Player Shadow. 3. More comprehensive functions. Detail: 1.I modified some renderers and shaders of the pixijs(don`t worry,it don`t affact others plugins) to make the rendering of shadows more dependent on GPU rather than CPU,I think the utilization of GPU by rmmv/rmmz is very low most of the time. 2.The image can be a Frame Animation,and most attribute of lights can have dramtic effect.So the upper limit of this plugin depends on your creativity!!! 3.The ultra shadows will update only the position of light is changed or the light is enlarged firstly,so the shadow of static light need`t to redraw by CPU most of time. How To Use: See in Demo and plugin help. Term of Use: This plugin is free for non-commercial use. This plugin is NOT FREE for COMMERCIAL use. If you want to use this plugin for commercial use,you can buy this plugin on itch.io. Demo/Free Version Download: Itch.io:URL MZ-V2.2-dropbox:URL Discord: discord Logs: V1.0->V1.3 RMMZ Update: 1.add a simple day/night system. 2.support 8-direction flashlight. 3.support light rotates with the mouse. 4.be compatible with UM7 and my doodads plugin.

Some time ago, I made the plugin free, and it can be used commercially for free.
You can download here in both English and Chinese:

Just Remove the players light?

You just need to delete this parameter of plugin:

Then it will be like:

yeah i figured it out with the players light but if i do the same with ambient color (hoping it would remove the tint) the screen just turns black

I don't quite understand your request.
If you want to completely stop the lighting system, you can use script commands:
QJ.LL.close();

im using other plugin to control time and that plugin changes the tint for day/night stuff and with this plugin which has a tint combines the tints and makes everything much darker or more orange if i have this plugins tint set to another color

Any chance of seeing plugin commands added? I'm having quite a time understanding pretty much any of the commands.

Hi @qiujiu ,

is there an option for taller characters to get a smoother result on the shadows?

Hey QJ, love this plugin!

A quick question: Is there a way to designate an area where dynamic shadows can NOT be cast?

Right now, dynamic shadows will pass through certain objects. Shown in attached picture.

The result is based on your character, so if the character has big pixels, it's normal that the shadow has it too.

You can block the shadow with region IDs. The plugin demo shows how to use the region ids.

Hey guys, quick question about the light plugin. Is there a way to tint the Z-index of the mask? I'm getting action indicators, and some text below light level, so they are covered by shadow. Is there a way to fix that? I tried to find the Z of layer in the plugin code but not so sure where to look.

From what I can tell, even in the demo, shadows cast by the player/event will cast on top of roofs if angled correctly. Also, lights that cause shadows pass through walls.

Amazing plugin otherwise, but this kind of diminishes its utility.

How to combine this plugin with a third -party plugin of the shift of the day?

Are the shadow region IDs fixed? The event shadows in the demo still seem to be overlapping with walls.
