This is a RPG Maker MV plugin that will allow you to add various bright effects to your game's maps and battle system. These effects can make the game appear more vivid, light, and gives you control over the color settings of a particular map to make a more distinct feeling, too. The bright effects can be changed midway through events in both maps and battles, too.

Be warned that this plugin was made in RPG Maker MV 1.6.1+ and is untested in lower versions so I cannot guarantee if it will work. To update to the latest version, please download the update here to at least 1.6.1+.

Plugin Parameters

Bloom: This puts a faint (or large) glow around lighter-colored objects on the map to give them a softer, hazy, brighter feeling.

Map Defaults, Battle Defaults: Sets default settings for maps/battle unless a notetag or nametag is used to change it to something else.

Scale: To adjust the strength of the bloom. Higher values is more intense brightness.

Brightness: The brightness, lower value is more subtle brightness, higher value is blown-out.

Threshold: Defines how bright a color needs to be to affect bloom.

Godray: Puts down rays of light coming from the sky at an angle.

Map Defaults, Battle Defaults: Sets default settings for maps/battle unless a notetag or nametag is used to change it to something else.

Visible: If on, the godrays will be visible by default. If off, they won't.

Speed: The speed at which the light flickers. Lower for slower rate. Higher for faster speeds.

Gain: General intensity of the effect.

Lacunarity: The density of the fractal noise.

Angle: The angle/light-source direction of the rays.

Color Adjust: Allows you to control the colors on the screen to be more/less bright, contrast more/less, and more/less saturated.

 

Map Defaults, Battle Defaults: Sets default settings for maps/battle unless a notetag or nametag is used to change it to something else.

Brightness: Adjusts the overall brightness of the screen. Use lower numbers to make it darker and higher numbers to increase the brightness.

Contrast: Increases the separation between dark and bright. Darker colors become darker. Lighter colors become lighter. Increase this number to make the effect more intense or decrease it to lessen it.

Saturate: Adjusts the intensity of color on the screen. User higher numbers to make colors more intense and lower numbers to make it less.
