I'd remove the ads if I were you.

Mm.. I just feel more worthy using them. (Bit extra earning as money for making the script you know?...)

I think using the ads would actually have the opposite effect. I never click on ad links, for example.

Thanks for the shadow

Very good guy.

Hmm, how to duplicate this script? I mean, RPG Maker XP had nice monster sprites but without shadows. The shadow wich is created by this script doesn't look good on those big monsters since it's too small. So I would like to have this script 2 times, one small shadow for normal characters and one bigger one for large monsters. How to do that?

Is there a way to have the shadow only appear on events with a comment tag? I'd like to have shadows under some events, but only specific ones (instead of every event in the game).

If I remember connectly, there was option for turning on and off the shadow through the script.

Actually, I have just took this script for further patch update stage. But you can either turn the shadows "OFF" always from events or character etc...

 

I am planning to add a script so you can have an event with command [shadow] or something so the event has the shadow. (anything tagged with [sHADOW] would have it then.)

[RaZzi 20]

Yes, if you could do that it would be AWESOME!

BUMP:

 

Update 2.0V is out now! added feature for EVENT COMMAND.

Turn shadow on for the event with shadow_on.

[Wyrelade 15]

2.1 update out.

 

Read changes above.

[Wyrelade 15]

update:

 

2.5V:

Now you can have the shadow visible or invisible on certain terrain tags.

[Wyrelade 15]

Update:

3.0V

 

Shadows now have same opacity as the event.

[RaZzi 20]

Hmm.. Now I have some compatibility issues with this. It doesn't draw the shadow under the party leader anymore. The last version I used (and it worked with) was from 2012. Also, with max resolution (640 x 480) the shadow will be stuck on the side of the screen even when the event is not visible anymore.

That's weird.

 

Ill look forward to this bug.

Hey, great little script! I can't seem to be able to turn the shadows off for single events, though

EDIT: Nevermind, solved it. I had the S at the beginning of Shadow capitalized. Everything needs to be lower case.
