Lamp extension v0.01

Quite interesting, could be useful for lighting effects. Does the extension support alpha channels? (So the edges can fade away/anti alias/smooth out.) Would be cool to shade the lamp objects with a colour also. Just some ideas.

It looks quite nice!!

Just question is there availability to add 'Lamp room' extension which would show chosen objects and background as grayed?

If yes it would be great extension used for example as fog of war in shooters or strategies.

That, Fanotherpg, is a great suggestion.

And also I would suggest to give opportunity to declare shape of lightening because for example torch isn't giving circle light. And it also would be useful in cooperation with War Game object.

Bornemix, about changing shape I think that editing/loading picture (Like in active object) or giving availability to use polygons (from Properties tab and/or Event Editor) would be great. The best option would be to use both.

And about lamp room. I mean to specify zone (for example again shape or polygons - where shape could be used as background of the room) where after leaving lamp objects are leaving gray semitransparent shadow which overlaps specified objects and some of them make invisible, and others semivisible). For example in Starcraft the background after we discovered fog of war (the black zone) and return with our units. The background was grayed. And not like now back Black. But we didn't see enemy units in this zone (like also in not revealed black one).

I hope that you understand me now clearly. Because way in which you are proposing it would be ehm a bit memory consuming because I would have to have a lot of lamp objects in a frame to use it with for example war game object.

And this is why I asked is there any possibility to make it without using huge amount of Lamp objects, but still shape defining would be great!

I think this could easily be condensed into one object. Just the lamp sheet extension, similar to the overlay object.

You should be able to draw lights onto the surface from position data (ex. Draw circle light at (50,50) ), and specify a blending amount for softer looking lights.

You shouldn't make a separate object for the lamps, that'll just eat memory.

EDIT:If you don't add an alpha channel this is basically a glorified overlay object.

but still you have to remember that newbies have got low skills but high expectations so you should add suggested things

Nope that wouldn't hurt at all, and if this is more optimized I would use it. Noob or not.

Hm, shouldn't this topic be under Extension Development?

Hm, shouldn't you leave 6 months old threads alone if you don't have anything to say?

Still Looki it was good pointing out by SortaCore, and surely it's better than PM Spamming.

The thread was dead and buried, I don't think anyone would notice it left here.

This is a good extension and it should get a little more attention.
