Hi,

I love this plugin and hope to use it in my game. I encountered one issue with it though:

- My initial map has a dark tint to it. However even though I set the dark tint to start immediately (with 1 frame) transition, it still loads the basic map and only after one second does the tint apply. Is there any way to set it so that the tint would appear first, or at least to manually set a 1 or 2 second delay to the menu appearing so the tint can apply in the background? 

The same issue persists when I go into an menu option like Continue or Options and then go back to the main menu. The map resets rather than continuing.


Any help would be great!

Hi,
Does it only happen on the map if it is the first map in the queue (so like if you add a dark tint to the second map, is the same issue there as well)?

Hi, I'm so sorry for the delayed response I just saw your message! I added another map in the queue with a tint and there was no problem loading the tint on the 2nd map, so when the map loaded in the queue the map was already dark. It's only on the first map in the queue that the tint loads after a very brief pause (less than a second but its noticeable). And if I go into the Options or Continue sub menu and then move back to the main menu the tint reloads (though that might be an issue with my event processing).

Hi, I see the issue, it will take some time to fix though. I will let you know when fixed.

Thanks so much, and no issues take your time. Any fix would be excellent!

Hi, just wanted to let you know I used a plugin to draw dynamic lights and shadow in game and the problem fixed itself! Just in case you were only planning on fixing this issue for me. Maybe useful for others in the long term though, and thanks for your consideration!

Hi, glad you were able to fix it! I will fix it eventually on my end, it is added as a bug on my issue tracker, I just have a lot of stuff to work on. If you let me know which plugin you used to fix the issue I could send others that way as a possible temporary solution if they come to me with a similar error though.

Sorry for the late reply! The plugin I used for lighting was Light/Ultra Shadow/Event Shadow by qiujiu (itch.io), in case any one else wanted a quick fix :)
