Lightning Help

[Korros]

Hello!

I was wondering if you guys knew of any way to make lightning in MV? 

Talking in specifics, I want to simulate the morning light in a room since it's too dim. Any ideas to brighten the room without tinting the screen? Because when tinting the screen the area that is also black gets brighter.

Greetings,

Frank

In the past, it was usually done by picture overlays most of the time - make the map light, have the dark places covered with mostly black pixels and the places where sunshine is emulated with mostly transparent pixels.


This can be done by show picture


Alternatively there are scripts (for Ace, I don't know of MV plugins yet) that create functions for real light effects, but those often require a lot of processing power.


Khas' old Lighting script for Ace has a lot of performance problems and disables regular tinting.


Khas' newer Ultra-Lighting script for Ace is much better, but needs to be purchased from the store.


For MV I don't know of a lighting plugin yet, but I heard that Khas is considering to write one later.

I assume you're asking about lighting (one n).  Lightning is that stuff that comes with storms.
