Hi, could you update your plugin so that it works with PIXI 5.3.0? The moving lights (e.g. lantern, flashlight) all lose their smooth boards in this version of PIXI. The same doesn't happen with the community lighting plugin.
Hello!! Fantastic plugin to start!. Why im here..I know you can shut off the entire map lighting by adding [lighting off] into the comment of a map setting but i was wondering if there was an event line to control this aspect or if its stuck in the map settings. Im sure its user error on my end but figured id reach out here.
I'm uncertain as to how to use Terrain Tags in order to have the map cast the shadows without using the Region ID. The rpgmaker thread says it can be changed in game settings, but I don't see the option for it anywhere in the plugin settings? I see in another comment that it isn't implemented, and I'm wondering is it a bug that it was left out by mistake, or was it causing issues and needed to me disabled?
is not implemented yet for checking Terrain Tags. Are there plans to implement this? I was curious why my Terrain Tags were not working and dug into the code a bit
Same, I use Region ID to set what spawns and Region restrictions, so the shadows don't work on my maps, and look weird when I walk up to a region ID marker
To be fair to the author, it looks like you have to iterate though all layers of all tiles in a given scene to find the tile tags from the current RPGMZ APIs so solving this is a bit more challenging and probably needs a more efficient way to approach this i.e. needs to iterate once per scene start and cache tile references with tags in some type of hash map or look up table to make this more efficient. I was thinking about doing it and sharing the code but not a lot of time currently and I am forcing myself to finish a short game I am working on right now
Is there a way to set the offset for the light based on which direction the sprite is facing? I'm using taller sprites and the flashlight is illuminating my character's head.
I didn't have that use case yet, so it wasn't implemented. I don't really understand your intentions, so if it is possible, could you send a simple demo with your minimal setup (plugins) and my plugin? I will add this feature if it is possible. We can talk more about this if you want, via forum PM or Discord DM. :D
I'm mostly just looking to be able to set the light offset for when my character is facing up, down, left, and right individually. So, if I'm facing right it's say: 12, 20 but facing left it's -12, 20. Same for up or down.
I've been struggling with trying to use this plugin, I'm new to RPGMMZ and there are not many tutorials to help, it would be great if anyone could help, I can't seem to figure out how to use it (I'm trying to have a flash/light follow my character)
Hello everyone! I really love the light plugin -ShoraLighting-.js!!! But I've got one problem: The light's turn off as soon as the actor is not within 8 or 10 tiles of them. Is there a solution for this? With similar plugIns, you can set the range of the lights to be charged. But I would much rather use this PlugIn. Kind regards -Splatterguy-
Hey there! I currently only accepted PayPal, so if you have a bank account you can link it with your PayPal account and buy the license by that. I'm uncertain if there way to transfer iDeal to PayPal though, so you can look into that.
Hello I tried downloading the demo mv 1.9.1 rar but before having the chance to extract it I just get a window error that says "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged." if I open the folder.
Did you solve the issue? I did try to re-extract the file, and it seems to work perfectly for me. You can try to use 7zip as mine, though I did compress the rar using winRAR.
Is there a place where all commands and parameters are listed for this plugin? Also is there a comprehensive guide on how to use this plugin? I read the itch.io post and wiki and RMMZ forum and that seems like its only scratching the surface. Thanks for this amazing plugin its super cool!
I tried to rewrite the wiki section not a long time ago, but seems like it still barebone and not having enough information. Currently I'm refactoring my code, so hopefully there will be a better API documents by then. Thank you for support my plugin!
This is so amazing! yer on the buy list for sure when I get new jerb or save enough from the shite mobile games Im playing ;-; this will make my free stuff Im making SOOO much better! I had to start looking at this cause the new update and galv DO NOT get along randomly so my old way of doing shadows for myself just doesnt work ;-; but this is SUCH AN UPGRADE! thank you so much for allow us to use it for free for non commercial! saved my game lol. your demo project sincerely blew me away with its dynamic lighting. (figured this part belonged in comments not review)
Thanks you so much for continuing this plugin. This is the best lighting one.
Unfortunately, the 1.9 (MZ) seems to have trouble with me. I don't know why, but when carrying a light, if the player do some specific action, the lights settings suddenly change for 1 frame. Going back at 1.8, and no problem. So will stay on that one for now as the constant flashes are desorienting ^^;
Do you want me to send something to understand/inspect the thing ? :)
Hey there, thank you for your report! I don't understand the issue though, can you tell me more about it? If you can, consider adding me on Discord (.shora), I'd gladly fix the bug!
Hi, I have one question, I was interested in buying your light plugin, but I only see it available here and with paypal, I wonder if you can't upload it to Steam? To be able to buy it from there.
Hey there, I don't upload it to steam, since you can download the plugin here freely. You only need to buy the plugin via PayPal if you planning to use the plugin for commercial purposes :D.
Hello, would it be possible to maybe set the ambient light on a map, with a notetag in map properties? It would be an easy way to define which maps are sunny outside or which maps are dark dungeons (maybe not easy to code though, I don't know much about that)
hola shoraaa tengo una preguntaestoy un juego y me preguntaba si podia usar este plugin lo digo por que no entiendo lo de licencia comercial si es que no puedo usarlos si pagar o si es que no me quiero meter en problemas entonces me puedes decir porfa?
Hey there, thanks for using my plugin! For the TOSs, you can freely use the plugin as long as your game is non-commercial (completely free to play). If it is commercial by any means however, you are required to buy the commercial version license in order to use it in your commercial project! Help it help clear the confusion~!

Hey Shora, why are the vertical shadow areas lighter than the horizontal shadow areas?
I am using version 1.8.3. The same error also occurs in 1.9.4 (with the added issue of lights "turning off" when I get too far from them)
As of now, I can't use the shadow system.

it looks like
_.scanTileNoteTag = function(tileNoteTag) {

}

Did you check the wiki? https://github.com/shoraaa/ShoraLightingSystem/wiki
Also, the forums is a pretty lively place to get support. Did you try it yet? https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/mz-mv-v1-9-2-shora-lighting-sha...
I did, I forgot to update this but i've figured out my problem! Thanks for reaching out though

I have found a solution to my problem.
After I used another image as a light source (I think it had a different scale), it stopped disappearing at the edge of the monitor.
Problem solved!

It didn't work with rar but I downloaded 7zip and it could extract it now, thank you!
Best 30 bucks spend for dev
Hope this will aid you in the continuation of your work !
Now "let's there be light !" :)
Thank you!

I like to pay creators for their work, whether I use it for commercial purposes or not, you have done a great job and deserve to be paid for it.

I'm working on that right now! :D Stay tuned!
Nice :D
1.9.1 version released! Massive MV optimizations (2fps -> 50 fps).
