Quick question about Terrax Lighting plugin

[ddblue]

Hello all!

I love Terrax lighting and I got it working the way I like, almost.

I found the flashlight settings to be a bit bright, so I changed the color to something darker to compensate.
I found a color I like, but for some reason the player still glows brightly.

Here are screenshots to describe what I mean:

The settings are here:

Can someone tell me how to get rid of that light? I've tried everything I can think of and I'm stuck.

Terrax Lighting plugin is available here:

Thank you.

That is the "Player Light Radius" and it should be a param in the plugin editor... set that to 0


If you don't want it set from the plugin editor, use this in an event (Plugin Command) and see if it gets rid of it: Light radius 0 #ffffff

Hi and thank you for the reply!

I also thought that, but when setting the radius to 0 (for example I added the line from your screenshot exactly) it makes my map completely black. Even with the other lines (from my screen shots) still the way they were.

If I use your line and change it to "Light radius 1 #ffffff" I wind up with exactly what is shown in the screenshots I posted.

If I go crazy and change it to "Light radius 500 #ffffff" I get the following, with the radius being changed but the little glowing circle exactly as it was, leading me to believe it might not be related to the light radius but the flashlight itself, or some part of the flashlight that may only be configurable by editing the javascript of the plugin itself.

Is there anything else I can try?

Hummm, cause that fixed that smaller light in mine... let me check out my project a bit and make sure I didn't do something else somewhere, lol

Edit: OK, its def something with the flashlight, I set mine up exactly like yours and now i'm getting the same issue.

Just to be sure, I tried it on a fresh map. I ran into the same issue.
When you tried it, did you try it with a dimmer flashlight color? Because if I don't mind the flashlight being brighter, it's not noticeable (and even looks like it disappeared)... but that sorta messes up the atmosphere I'm looking for.

The color #3E3214 is my favorite for the flashlight, but that's so dim that the glow on the player is noticeable.

Found it! My version of the plugin may not be the same as yours, esp if it was gotten after MV 1.5, but Ill show my fix and see if you can find it and copy it easy enough




Look and see if you can find this section in your code, and comment out the line I did at 2225... that is the line that draws the circle around the player when the flashlight is active.





If you cannot find that section in yours, upload your version of the plugin and Ill help and send it back

That is amazing!
It worked - thank you!
Sincerely, I'm moved by the fact that you were able to do that and willing to help me with that.
Thanks so much!!
