PSYCHRONIC_RaveLighting.js is a free, public domain (CC0) lighting system plugin for RPG Maker MZ designed to empower creators with an unprecedented level of flexibility and immersion in lighting. Whether you’re crafting a tense dungeon, a cozy inn, or a celestial stage at dusk, or a virtual rave in 2d form, this plugin provides a dynamic and visually stunning atmosphere through its rich palette of customizable lights.
What sets PSYCHRONIC_RaveLighting.js apart?
- Versatile Light Types: From gentle flickering candles to swirling beams of color and intense, pulsating neon glows—each event can host an array of unique light effects.
- Custom Multi-Lights: Define “custom light types” that blend multiple base lights into a single effect, bringing extraordinary control and complexity to your lighting design. Your events can now glow, flicker, beam, and phase simultaneously in one combined fixture.
- Additive & Realistic Illumination: Enjoy lighting that integrates smoothly into your game’s scene. Using a specialized “destination-out” tint layering, lights gracefully blend and carve out vivid halos against your map’s darkness. The result is natural, warm illumination that elevates atmosphere beyond the usual fare.
- Targeted & Tracking Lights: Flashlights and beams can track the player or specified events in real-time, responding dynamically to character movement and direction—perfect for suspenseful chases or spotlight moments on stage.
- Endlessly Configurable Parameters: Fine-tune light radius, hue, animation speed, offsets, and more. Balance artistic flair with performance considerations by adjusting the darkness gamma or increasing the light buffer range, ensuring your scenes run smoothly on various platforms.
