this script is awesome, fantastic, all I ever wanted in one little script put together D:

I LOVE the script! It's so fantastic, that I'm gonna use it D:

 

thx for doing this. *__*

The way the shadows change are so cool. This is a neat lighting effects script.

[Azareal 6]

I'd recognise that theme anywhere, Mirai Nikki opening?

Lighting seems to look alright though.

Would be good if the character itself had a shadow though since I don't see one in that video.

Thomas Edison VX fades in comparison to this masterpiece! You sir are amazing!

 

EDIT: Question! Let us imagine that one day we get an "Overhead Ceilling" script for Ace (I'm hoping everyone is familliar with), and so the player can go underneath the ceilling and behind the wall. Now, I noticed that in this script, the shadow from the wall will start on the ceilling's edges if the player stands above it. But what if I used the "Overhead Ceilling" script, and had the character holding a torch go behind the wall, the shadow should realistically begin at the wall's base, no? So, any chance of this script getting that modification?

 

P.S: I tried to explain it the best I could, if picture is needed for better understanding I'll provide it

WHoa. I am glad i stumbled upon this script and then i opened it to a nice surprise. Very nice and unique looking. Mad Props =Like +50

I saw this last week on another site. This script is amazing. I wish it was for VX also.

[Khas 85]

Thanks everybody =D

 

~NeXy~

I didn't understand it well, can you explain better please?

[~NeXy~ 6]

~NeXy~

I didn't understand it well, can you explain better please?

 

Alright, here's the deal. In this first picture I marked my issue, it would seem that ceilling is casting the shadow, and not the wall (which is pretty weird, no?):

 

 

Now, considering that the wall is two tiles high the shadow should actually begin at the wall's base (Marked in red lines), which in this case is two tiles bellow the ceilling. So, the blue line marks where the shadow should really appear:

 

 

I hope this clears things up a bit.

So is it possible to make this at all? Thanks in advance

[Khas 85]

Now I understand

Everything is possible. I'll make an special version with this kind of "correction".

 

However, I'm a little busy these days, so I think I'll be able to make this change next week.

When I finish it, I'll post it at my blog and here.

Thanks for this awesome sugestion!

Bye o/

[~NeXy~ 6]

Yay! Thank you so much! Please take your time

Are the light effects over your messages? Read here how to fix it! http://arcthunder.site40.net/en-light-effects-over-your-message-learn-to-fix-it/

 

~NeXy~

I did try to make it, but I ended with a crashed geometry xD

I will think more about this.

[+ Tuomo L 116]

This is so fantastic, I am in total awe! I love the lantern effect, this will be perfect for my horror game!

[Lionheart 2]

Great script!!! But if I go to the command change tone screen and if I select fof exemple the command "dark"... nothing happens. Why?

Can you fix this please???

[Khas 85]

@Lionheart

This isn't a bug. Please read the instructions one more time.

You have to activate a command, setting a constant to true.

[+ Tuomo L 116]

I have a question. Can you make so that events, such as say foes would react to your light source of the lantern and come to explore what it was? Meaning you'd have to snuff out your fire and be still in the darkness? And once the foe does not find you they move away?

[Khas 85]

Well, this isn't part of Light Effects, but you can make it!

Once you have full control at light sources, you can make that system with events and all the stuff.

[Michael Deaton 7]

What script lighting settings can I use to make the lighting look like normal day time instead of night?

[DJPrichard 3]

Is it possible to make screen completely black? So that only light comes from character with flashlight? Also is it possible to change range of light?

 

As I understood from deep research, I need to make pictures in Light folder and connect them with script?

@MistTribe

Just put a little opacity on the effects surface.

You may test it with white color.

 

@DJPrichard

Yeah, it is.

Change the effects surface's opacity to 255, it will be completely black.

To change the light's range, just create an image with the desired range, but read the script and follow the image making rules!

[DJPrichard 3]

Bummer, I can’t find it. Well scripts are big mess for me. Where exactly is located this effects surface's opacity?

[kayden997 84]

Is it possible to toggle the Surface_UE option via script command in-game?

[Khas 85]

@DJPrichard

Instructions part.

Read them carefully.

 

@kayden997

Nope, it's not.

It's easy to use the "call script" command, read the instructions.

My question on this is if say I go into a cave and it goes dark, as all caves without light is,

and I leave said cave how do I fix the lighting effect so the over world wouldn't be dark as in the cave?

[Michael Deaton 7]

My question on this is if say I go into a cave and it goes dark, as all caves without light is,

and I leave said cave how do I fix the lighting effect so the over world wouldn't be dark as in the cave?

 

You add the script command to the transition event from the cave to the Overworld so it sets the lighting back to the overworld lighting effect.

 

 

 

@Khas

I have two questions! Can you make it so it doesn't darken the map name pop-up window, and what are the best light settings for Night, Dawn, Day and Dusk?
