RMXP Day/Night help

[Shuu]

Hi, if I want to make a town with both daytime and nighttime, is it possible to brighten the town with city lamps, because if you set the colour tone down, it tones down all the graphics?

Like, a fire lamp's colour darkens, as the colour tone darkens.

I believe this will work: http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=21314.0.  There are other light tutorials, too, if you want to do a search.

Yes, technically, there is just a singular light setting for all of RMXP. If you want dynamic sources of light like torches and lamps, you'll have to use pictures with transparency set, or scripts. The above tutorial is one valid way of doing so.

If you want just a simpler effect, you could also theoretically just brighten the area when a player is near a lamp with touch events too. And not to advertise, but if you're using the latter method, you might want to look at my Dynamic Time System, or another Day Night system that includes shifting light effects.
