Terrax Lighting system

Yes, that can be done, ill include a brightness setting (like with flashlight) next update

Hi, Terrax. 

Is it possible to light events that were created during the gameplay with Orange Custom Events plugin?

Might I also suggest a darkness option?  Having pitch black outside of light sources can look slightly ugly on maps.

Hi Terrax

         Do you think its possible to use your tint set in battle as well. Because right now we got ooo super darky dungeon who awesome. There is two slime lets fight guys!   What those slime are made . its so bright !!!

i have currently try calling the plugin command in battle but to no avail.

As to my issue before, it seems to be capability issues with your TerraxPuzzle. As i get the error with both of the plugin turned on.

New version (1.2.1) now available

http://mvplugins.com...Lighting System

Version 1.2.1

 * You can add two optional commands for brightness and direction
 * Light 200 #FFFFFF B50 increases the brightness with 50%. Value between 0 and 99.
 * Light 200 #FFFFFF D1 will give half a lightglobe for lightsources placed on walls.
 * 1. For lights on north walls, light will face down.
 * 2. For lights on east walls, light will face west.
 * 3. For lights on south walls, light will face north.
 * 4. For lights on west walls, light will face east.

There already is a darkness option,

RegionBlock 1 ON #333333 Will block lights on tiles with region-number 1, but it will not be completly dark

but slightly shaded (test with different color settings for the right effect.)

I will look into it, won't promise anything because the battle system is new territory.

I've made an update to the Terrax puzzle system, this should take care of the errors. Thank you for your info :)

Make sure you put the puzzle system above the lighting plugin in the plugin list.

Slight issue with the new plugin update, for reasons unknown the altered brightness for tile/region blocking does not seem to make any effect from previous installments for me.

As of now looking at my project I won't be having a day/night cycle since i'm basing it in a dark city kinda setting- for me right now I only got street lights that works 24-7, however outside of lightsources that are activated by tile and region settings outside these sources are pitch black also don't seem to take effect with the darkness option provided.

I hope i am making sense :s

Hi,

I think the size of Bitmap should be set as plugin parameter.

because the size of Bitmap heavily affects the performance.

new Bitmap(2500, 1500);  <- this is very heavy operation!

new Bitmap(816, 624);  <- this is enough and much faster if you use screen size (816, 624).

Ooh.  This is nice.  I didn't know that this plugin was finally floating around for MV!  Now I can make some of the effects for a couple maps that I had intended.

Hey Terrax.

I just tried out your plug-in again with my day/night cycle and I'm loving the Tinting system,

its much more simple and flexible to adapt it to the many worlds I plan to build in my game.

However, I've been testing out the Light radius grow commands with the idea that as night starts to encroach,

you have a wide radius that gradually shrinks every two hours so you see less and less around you as it gets

even darker...

How slowly does the light radius change when using that command?

So I'm stuck on a problem. I really want to change the lighting on the player, the glow that focuses on your character. 
Is there a way to change the lighting so It's not always so dark? I've tried looking everywhere for my solution but
nothing came up. I even tried messing around to see if I could get it to change, I'm also not talking about the
radius but the lighting itself.

I'm not so sure if this question has been asked already but forgive me if it has.

EDIT: I just really want to have an option for brightness around the player like you can do for events.
Sorry if my question was not clear.

if i understand correctly you want a fog of war who not total dark 
create a new event, parallel process and put a plugin command Tint set #24292E    where # is the color of you fog like.
it should do the work

Looks like that fixed the problem for me, thank you very much :)

Hi, Terrax. 

Is it possible to light events that were created during the gameplay with Orange Custom Events plugin?

doesn't work with new version, I've tried to change it to white but then the lights don't work....

I've not been realy active the last weeks, i've got my own company and have a few deathlines in the comming weeks, so didn't have much time on my hands. Ill get around to new stuff in a few weeks.

Yes, good plan, ill integrate next update

Some other have asked this, so ill be taking a look at it soon

My plugin doesn't realy 'light up' a map.. it makes it dark first,the punches lightglobes into the dark area for 'lights'.

The only way to have lights is create a little darkness. I can't create the games exact tint values, because it uses i filter and my plugin doens't. The only think i can advise is try to find a tint color from my plugin that comes close to it and work with that.

This doesn't seem to work with Yanfly's plugins...  Any way there can be a patch for them?

I was excited to see this plugin, but sadly it doesn't work with 'Bind Pictures to Map' for Parallax Mapping. I just end up getting a TypeError 'cannot read property 'addChild' or unfedined'. It works with the bind plugin off, but sadly I need it. ;) Link: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/46776-bind-pictures-to-map/?hl=%2Bbind+%2Bpicture

Any chance it's simply a compatibility issue and it's not simply inherently incompatible because of how the two plugins work?

I'd love to use this system, it seems really intuitive. 

EDIT: Tried testing it with the demo, apparently when you place the plugin before your lighting plugin it breaks the game. If you place it after it disables all lighting effects. I'm really clueless, I know little to nothing about java, but maybe you can find this useful.

@Terrax I would also like to confirm this issue. If TDDP_BindPicturesToMap is enabled this plugin cannot display its light layer.

New version (1.2.2) now available

http://mvplugins.com...Lighting System

Version 1.2.2

* Very small update, screen resolution settings to improve performance

* Tint variables are global now, so they can be set from other day-night plugins

He has made a lot of plugins.. you will have to point me in the right direction.

I've taken a look at it, but its not that simple (the script doesn't copy tags etc), however i might have a solution that will do the job, but it will not work for moving events. I can create a plugin command that will create a (temporary) light at a certain X,Y coordinate.

So after calling : copy event 8 to position 12 22.

You could call : create light 12 22 150 #FFFFFF 

Would that solve your problem or do you mainly use it for moving events?

This can be solved by adding 3 lines to the TDDP plugin. You can ask the author to include them, or include them yourself.

Edit the function that starts on line 100 of the script.
