- Here I'll teach you how to make your own sunbeam effect for RPG Maker :D
Foreground.js can be found built-in to your RPG Maker's game folders under the Kadokawa plugins (not your project folder) - เกม
♫♫You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happ~~~~y when my sky sucks ♫♫
Clouds plz?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I followed along step by step and now I have lovely sunbeams in my project!!! I appreciate it so much! ^_^
Really Helpfull !love the giggles, also. Thanks for this!
Great write up and tutorial, not even sure if the stuff is the same anymore i'm having a hell of a time finding foreground, going to do more research, but very concise and easy to understand video, kudos!
Very informative and your command helped me a lot. I am currently working on a new project which I think will be worth the time - this is something which will help me separate it from the rest!
This sounds like ASMR, thank you!
If you draw a point and then hold SHIFT you can click and draw a line without changing the brush tool or anything. it's really handy and if you don't let go of shift you can keep adding points, like the polygon tool.
EDIT: I guess you might have known this and just didn't use it because you ended up motion blurring anyway, but it's still a good tip for those that don't know none the less! ;)
Very good tutorial. I m sure I will use this in my game.
Heya again pretty sweet Tutorial keep them coming! :)
~Chris
Great video! :D
Your voice is awesome. I had an idea -- You could take a brush with a dust pattern and paint "clouds" of dust, and then set it as a mask to the sunbeams so it looks like they're shining through and hitting dust or pollen. I would use an elongated, elliptical brush, angled at the same angle the beams are going (long ways)
Shadows would be great to do a tutorial on:)
Happy little sunbeam
Thanks, very useful :3
Neat! Thank you!
Awesome lesson!
Have you already done some tutorial about custom shadows? I would like to know how to draw some nice shadows on photoshop!
Thanks a lot!
Your voice
very helpful! thanks! could you post one or link something on how you did the waterfalls? so cool!
First off, thanks so much for taking the time to make these tutorials!You mentioned needing the exclamation point at the start of the file name in this tutorial. I don't recall you doing that for the initial 1-3.5 tutorials. Is it required for this one because of the plugin used?
Thanks!
Hey, thanks for the tutorial. Unfortunately i can't find the Foreground.js in my kadokawa folder... Any idea where i can get it ? thanks ! :)
How can i make the Sunbeam follow the camera if a have a bigger weight map?
Hi! Again I loved the tutorial. Do you think is possible for you to make a lighting tutorial? Like lights from windows and maybe a character holding a lantern? Also is it possible to make a map look foggy or like winter style with snow? I am coming back to RPG Maker after like 15 years and to be honest I need to learn from scratch.
+blackheimdall I plan on making an interior parallaxing tutorial that features light from windows =D As for fog or falling snow, we might have to wait for a plugin to come out for that (if there isn't one already). Good luck coming back to RPG Maker! =D Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Can you make a tutorial to make a effect of fog or something like that (and another of tree shadows will be great >_
Hey, you're amazing, but I have a question.
I create a moon-effect, and I would like to change the note "" with "" (without creating another map). How could I do? Can I use a switch or something?
+OneMorning Good question. I don't think you can do that with Foreground.js D= but try Kaus Overlay Plugin! You can use switches with that =]
+Fallen Lorelei I'll try, thanks :)
Can you please do a tutorial on how to increase your exp rate for Rpg maker xp
My map is larger than yours so the effect image appears repeatedly. How do I make it appear only once in the corner of the screen?
Try making the size of the sunbeam file the same size as your map~ If your map is 20x30, then the sunbeam file size will need to be 960x1440 :)
link to downloads plugin?
How can I get the overlay picture to not move when the map moves ? I'm trying to make dungeon lighting, and I only want the light coming from the touches, but when the map moves, the light map moves with it.
+drachen1108 I don't explain the exclamation point in the video, but it's supposed to keep the image from moving around. Did you remember to name your file with a ! in the front? That's the only thing I can think of D=
Fallen Lorelei
No I didn't, I'll try that, tyvm for your reply.
+Fallen Lorelei yep, that did the trick. tyvm for the help
can I apply this to make so it looks like sunlight is coming through a window? any tips appreciated.
+CGonzales033 If you want to achieve that it's the same principle as this. Just adjust where the beams are coming from. I'm assuming you're doing interior. You'd have to use a kind of parallax-esque style. Just make sure the image is fixed so it doesn't move with you.
First you'd need to get an image of your map. A plugin called OrangeMapshot (Fallen mentions it in one of her videos) would work as you can use it to screenshot the entire map ingame. Once you have your image just use it as the backdrop (instead of using purple or something similar like she did) and draw your lines coming from the window (do it on a separate layer, you only want the light beam layer).
Motion Blur it and then erase any of the beams that go past the window on the opposite side. The usual angle would have the light beams spilling out the bottom right corner so anything coming out the top left should be deleted. Then just do everything she did but FIX your image so it doesn't move. (I believe you have to put a '!' point before the filename. If that doesn't work then just Google how to keep a foreground from moving) I hope that helped!
Derxe123 will try it out, thanks so much.
very good.. than you...
Awesome tut!!!!!!!!! Tysm!!! \\\o 3o///!!!
+danielvutran YOU'RE WELCOOOMEEE hahah
Is it possible to make a parallax of a map inside of a building and adding light as a layer to make probably blurry lanterns on a wall or something like that? xD I believe shadows are possible too but I can't see an easy way to do them
+Matias Heredia Yeah!! That's something I have planned for.. eventually haha. When I do interiors, I'll make sure to talk about adding lights from the window or lamps.
+Fallen Lorelei
Thanks for your great tutorials... and I really would appreciate the above ;)
+Bruell bart I recently made an interior map that has shadows =3 not yet blurry lanterns though.
Why do you need an ! in front of the file name?
Question, how do you make those water falls? i dont have those in my rpgmakemv
+Josef Warto Everything on this map is the default RTP. The waterfalls are the waterfall tiles in the "Outside" tileset, with water splashing events. I don't have RPG Maker open right now but I believe it is under "Other1"
Sorry yes its the water splashing im looking for. Is it in the event files?
Yep they're event graphics. You also need to turn on "stepping animation" =]
so sorry but how do you turn on stepping animation? were is it located?
+Josef Warto It is under the event graphic with Direction Fix, Walking, & Through
Could you tell me how I would add my own music and sprites I have created?
+Victor Hate You should be able to just put them into your game folder =D sprites go into img/characters and music goes into audio/
+Victor Hate music should be .ogg you can find an online converter
+Fallen Lorelei Can you do a tutorial on how to do scrolling Paralax maps
+animeloversakura101 scrolling how? what are you trying to accomplish?
+animeloversakura101 scrolling how? what are you trying to accomplish?
If you want to see another RPG Editor which is almost like RPG Maker, check out this one here u3d.as/jpc
Want to marry me? :D
Thanky SOOOO much 4 your work!!
sorry but you dont explain how to get foreground. this does not come with the RPG maker.
+Josef Warto It is in with the Kadokawa plugins if you look within your game's folder. I did not preorder and it is there, along with many other plugins. If it's not there, you may be able to find it online
OMG im so dumb.. im sorry. i never new i had a hidden steam folder till now. just found were all my DLC's and plugins are.. I Thank you so much. Do i just drag all this stuff to a folder in my rpg maker project? or is it more tedious then that.
Glad you found it =D It's easy - just copy / paste Foreground.js into your Plugins folder. That's all!
