Title: lights
Post by: Hoshimo on January 13, 2008, 09:14:33 PM
i'm having a little trouble with using lights for my characters in rpgm2k3
I  was using a single light, but i want to give everyone lights but its really annoying because it keeps overlapping and it just looks really bad.
Any help?

alright here's what I'm getting, I've set two lights here, one for the hero and the other for an npc but this is what happens.

It's hard to see whats happening in that picture.
I think you have a big Black square picture.

If that's used to create darkness, I suggest you Use the Tint Screen function instead

What Ive done for all my games is Taken a screen of my Map, Edited Shadow, and Highlights onto it directly in Photoshop, Make a corresponding Light Picture to overlap onto it and save it as a panorama. That way instead of guissing using coordinates for the pictures, It appears over an already altered panorama,

This however takes some time at first, But the results are worth it.

i meant a personal character light in dark rooms, but thats good for specific map lighting, its useful and i might use it but first id need photoshop, otherwise im faced with tedious work and colour problems.
