How to make light for lamps and how to make fire?



I know i keep asking these noob questions, but if it means anything i search before i post.

I like your questions (and they're not noobish, you'll lose self-confidence by thinking that).

There is a script (or an event system) somewhere with the light, but for making a campfire, do THIS:

Make an event (the fire). Uncheck "Move Animation". Check "Stop Animation" and "Direction Fix". Choose the fire graphic ( I'd recommend the third line of "Light01").

DONE!

Thanks a lot =D

I'll see if I can find that script, and I'm glad you don't think so haha, most forums I join I can at least contribute something, but here I sort of feel useless lol.


EDIT: I searched the forum and couldn't find anything. Do you know who made it? Maybe I could search by name.

[Demonic Blade]

Not sure who made it. I'm not even sure it was on this site when I think about it. Most likely it was on hbgames.org or rpgrevolution.com. I'll get a link in a sec...

Thanks a lot, for some reason I can't even go to hbgames.org... and rpgrevolution loads only the main page...

[Demonic Blade]

Yeah, there's some trouble on rpgrevolution right now, but it's real sweet when it works. hbgames.org, I don't know. Oh, and it's an event system, I believe.

[memyselforwho]

awesome, thanks. I'll just wait until rpgrevolution works and search.

I was playing someone's demo here, and when it became dark outside their were lights lit on the lamps in town, and on/around the houses. I know how to do the whole day/night thing, but how do i create the light?

(thanks)

you can create a cosmetic fog.

here's what you do
zoom out to 1/4 in the editor, and Screenshot your map
then open up photoshop (or gimp or something else that allows transparencies)

then, create a new layer and paintbucket fill black
make that layer semi-transparent, then create circular gradients from black at 0% transparent to black at 100% trans parent, over the lights

delete the screenshotted map, and export as a png

..........wow those instructions were convoluted...
if you don't understand them...let me know, and I'll try posting an example or something

I sort of understand what you mean, but if you could post an example that would be awesome =D

Thanks a lot ; )

alright, I'll post a finished product, along with a screenie of the map I make it for.
it'll be really simple like, I'll edit this post with it.

screenie of tha map:


create the fog over it(new layer), so that the light has the gradient circle:


remove the bottom layer (map screenshot):


set the fog on the map with a parallel process, fog at 160 alpha, matching the size of the map(if screenie was at 1/1 - 100%, 1/2 - 200% 1/4 - 400% (Size):
