@Ally what's your system? Did you remove/add again the plugin in the plugin manager?

MV version 1.5...
Yes, I have add again the plugin in the plugin manager, but receive ever this error...

EDIT:
@Khas even within your demo, I get the same mistake.

@Ally interesting... what's your operating system?

Windows 10

@Ally I'm thinking about just dropping support for this plugin. The MV engine/Pixi.js have unexpected behavior related to shaders and stuff that I can't guarantee it will run well on all platforms. I thought I fixed it in the last update, but it seems I didn't.

You could try to use it with variable density OFF.

Without variable density, work ^^

Rpg maker Mv 1.5 seems to have broken some stuff related to graphics.

So Yanfly release a fix and maybe it could help you Khas so you won't drop this plugin ? (just trying to help)

 

[Khas]

@Chaos17 this script actually doesn't use any graphic file, so I believe this isn't related to it.
It's an issue related to compilation of GLSL shaders, which PIXI manages differently in different platforms.

Fog and lightning together looks very gnarly. Is there any way to have my map have both light and fog?

 

[Khas]

@Tuomo L try changing the order of the plugins in the plugin manager

Hey, I'm just wondering on what layer the fog appears? I've noticed there are not settings for layers in this plugin so I guess it can't be changed, correct? It seems to display itself even above my overlay layer which I wish it didn't. It still looks fine, but when using this plugin inside a dungeon I think it would look much cooler if the fog wasn't above the black nothingness that appears outside of the walls.

Just thought I should ask if there is there anything that can be done about this?

Thanks for making this!

@Parallax Panda try changing the order of the plugins. I can't guarantee that it will be displayed in the correct order with other plugins, but switching their order in the plugin manager might solve that (if you're using my fog and lighting plugins, you can do that to change the order).

Thank you for your suggestion. I'm doing parallax mapping with pictures and for it I'm using Galv's Layer Graphics as well as TDD's Bind Picture to map, which haven't been updated since 2015-11-14! That makes me believe TDD's plugin might not be perfectly compatible with MV's current version or other plugins anymore.It's somewhat working for me ATM though, and sadly there are no alternative plugins for binding pictures to the map.

Funny enough, your plugin plays nice with TDD's old plugin and if I place a picture on the "top" layer it will actually display above your fog!
Galv's Layer Graphics does not work well at all though. If I want the fog above everything it works, but only if I place your plugin above Galv's. If I place his plugin above yours, HIS plugin stops working and don't display anything. Quite odd since you would assume the opposite would happen if there was a problem, right? Well, that incompatibility might be on Galv? I don't know.

I guess I could change my parallax maps to only use TDD's Bind Picture to Map and ditch Galv's plugin. But, deleting and binding pictures on each transfer is much more inconvenient than just adding a tag in the map's note section. Also it's a little scary to heavily depend on a plugin that have not been updated in such a long time... (and has probably been abandoned since there isn't much activity in the forum topic either)

EDIT; Actually, I know you're not working on your plugins anymore but IF you'd ever come back to them. Would a plugin setting for choosing a Z layer for the fog be an easy implementation and something you would consider? It's about the only thing I can think of that would make this plugin even more awesome.

 

[Khas]

@Parallax Panda all of this may depend on the order the layers are declared. Some people may declare their variables before mine, some may do it later. This is also the reason why switching their order in the plugin manager matters. However, if the plugin maker has chosen to inject the sprite declaration on a different function, the order on the editor won't matter and there's not much I could do, as it's not a simple Z value setting.

You probably heard me complaining about this before, but if Pixi.js and MV used GPU Z-Buffering, the solution of this would be trivial and more complex effects would be possible. Unfortunately, this is not the case and to fix compatibility between these plugins would need work on both sides.

Edit: just to add more to the explanation, there's no such thing as layers between plugins that use sprites, unless they're made specifically to work together (as my lighting/fog plugins)
