[VX] Little Visual Effect People Will Find Useful!

[Amos36]

Hi people of RMXP.org, :biggrin:

I would like to request a little script to make the visual side of games better. I've noticed that people using Window Lights and Kyock's Light Effects experience problems when they use "Fadeout Screen" / "Fadein Screen" like Prophecy: the Demon Kingdom by Sagitar. (It's a good example of an RMVX game with charm, try it!)

Basically, when the screen is meant to fade to black, the light effects/winow lights are still left behind. Use this screenshot for an example:

Spoiler: Problems with Lighting

My beautiful darkness with free light effects... enjoy...

So there's my problem. Basically I need it so that Light Effects and Window Lights fade out along with the screen so if the screen is black whilst talking is going on, then it won't look bad.

Here's the two scripts in case you don't know where to find them:

The Light Effects was originally for XP made by Near Fantastica, Kylock translated it into VX.
As for the Window Lights, I am not sure as I dont have it in my script base because it does not work. And I want it to work lol

The window lights that was posted in this thread acted as though it was a plug 'n play script, at least for me. All I did was add it to a project, add a lit window tile to a random map, and it worked like a charm.

 

[SolstICE]

yes its a plug script or so we made it. if you have problems its because of different script prolly. or maybe using mack tiles? was made for normal rtp ubt dont think that cause problem like error msg

 

[Mean1]

I dont have different tile sets no. I tried adding the one posted on the first reply and got an error on line 14. Which makes no sense because it is the same exact script. I dont know. It was something cool I liked. W/e I can live with out or make an event for each window. Does the light move any? or is it sitting still? Like in real life when you look at light filtering through a window you can see dust and particles, as if it was moving?

What error are you getting? What does it say? Also, in response to your last question: That would require a particle system, which generally makes RMXP laggy. (Unless you want to take a shorcut and use an animation instead, which can also make it laggy if its used too much)

 

[Mean1]

Dont worry about it. Im just not going to use it.
