[$50 reward] Light Effects Script (VXAce -> XP)

[Terv]

Hey,

I recently found a quite decent light effects script for VX Ace and (after two failed attempts by me) am looking for someone that is able to port it to XP.

As far as I can tell the script is hard to adopt by no means as it contains little Ace-specific code. It's more some of the changes in Game_Map which made my efforts throw up errors.

As I don't have much more to offer than a warm thank-you and a credits entry otherwise, I also offer a payment of 50$ for this one. PayPal, Moneybookers, Amazon wishlist, wire transfer, gift coupon - name it.

Please PM me or post in this thread when you decide to take a look.

Happy new year,
Terv

I'd love to take a look, as I'm in need of a good light script for XP as well, but my antivirus is throwing a warning when I download your zip. Do you mind posting the scripts here or as a .rar instead?

Hey regi,
This is probably either because I use a .tk domain or a shared offshore server. Be assured that the file itself contains the official trial of the script plus necessary RTP files integrated only.
Here's an upload of the same file on a more neutral host:

The script is really pure eye-candy and adds a lot of realism to the graphics. It's by far the best light script I have come accross on any RM.

Hot damn, that does looks pretty incredible.
No promises I can port it over-- I've little prior experience with VXAce, but I'll try my best!

EDIT: sorry to bother again, but VXAce is not cooperating with my system, and I'd rather not spend hours trying to install it. Any chance I could just get the light script in a .txt file, like you did with Game_Map and Game_Event?

Here's a link to the script in text format:

I did not upload this myself.

Going to apologize in advance for the expected delay. I've made a little bit of progress but still need to get used to all the differences between RGSS and RGSS3. If anyone more experienced is interested in taking the job, I'd gladly hand it to them (I'm less interested in the reward than the end result), but otherwise I'll do my best to figure it out within the next week or so!

 

[Terv]

Please take your time; my project is still at an early stage so there's no haste at all.

I'm going to have to give up on this one-- sorry! I've modified some the syntax so that there are no compatibility bugs upon running the game... but unfortunately the lights don't seem to show up, either. At this point, I really don't have enough knowledge of RGSS3 to continue.

I'd be happy to provide you with what I have so far, but I'm really sorry I couldn't do more. Hopefully someone else will pick up and finish this bad boy!

 

[Terv]

Someone from another forum is doing the job =D
so please don't make any efforts as I'm not willing to pay more than one :P

 

[Terv]

The port is done, I will probably release it together with the first trial of my game.

yes that is a pretty amazing script demo.. gratz on getting it ported to rmxp, MY only
issue with it is that the screen tints are too dark, maybe that can be adjusted tho, I
dunno. I like the way the torch effect does this...

down in the dungeon, that would look awesome in MY torch dark dungeon.. ^^

Of course the darkness can be adjusted, decanos. It's indeed too dark in the trial.
