Light Effects

[Frolic_RC2]

Well we all know how to do light effects, but how do you do "dark effects"?

(Starts out at the tilese darkness, then gets darker and darker)

you can't sadly... it would be posible if stefan added transparency tho. Or the ability to slap an alpha layer dirived from an image... like lets say I wanna make the normal graal tile lamp transparent. We have our little nice animated lamp but when i do setcoloreffect. It makes it a big gamma mess. Well a command like

setalphalayer image;

and

setimagealpha index,image;

would be great.... I will attach a sample alpha layer. This image would make the lamp about %50 opacity

this would make it posible to do shadows since we could make black transparent, and really thats the only way to do it.

Or maybe he could do something more conventional, like e-mailing him. Then again, why is it Kaimetsu's problem?

[Falcor]

Its not his PROBLEM. Its just that hes gots some contacts that I don't.

To make my room dark i use this

if (playerenters){
seteffect .23,.42.53.86;
}
or something numbers close to that. -_-

Uhm... You misunderstand. We dont wanna make the ENTIRE ROOM DARK. Just the NPC. We want ACUAL TRANSPARENCY, not lights which use their own image as the alpha layer.
