Hello everyone. I am using LNM_LightingTool to create some basic lighting to lift up the atmosphere.
It works fine in every regard. However one thing that bugs me is that whenever I delete an event that has lighting, the lighting disappears, just how I want it to. The thing is, when I open the menu and exit it again, the lighting is back.
To bring this into context;
I have on-screen enemies in my game and in some parts these enemies are present in darker-lit maps. And you as the player should of course be able to spot these enemies, hence why they have lighting effects (also because on-screen enemies are represented by flames, duh).

When you defeat the flames, they disappear (and the lighting with them, logically). This works fine, until you open the menu and close it again, in which case the flame remains gone, but the lighting is back.

So if possible, is there a way to fix this and if not, are there any alternatives?
I just need a really basic lighting system and nothing flashy. I already though about just removing all lighting sources that are temporary and just keeping all the permanent ones.


Edit: I have moved on to another lighting plugin that suits my needs for now.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
