How-To RPG MAKER: Use Fog As Lighting
Embed
- Published on Aug 6, 2015
- This is a simple lighting technique I use all the time.
For examples of this, check out Fighterdoken's playthrough of Gaia's Melody 2(RMXP) on the EndlessGaming channel here!: thexvid.com/user/endlessgaming...

Thank you so much for doing all these videos! I decided to make a game in XP a few weeks ago without really understanding just how limited it is right now (with a number of script links down, or just awesome scripts that are made for later RPG Makers that, I reeeeaaally wish I could borrow from, or learn) and your videos are really helpful!
I can't believe I never thought of this methode! This is very helpful. Thanks so much! Your channel has easily become my favourite after watching a ton of your video's! Keep up the good work! You're amazing. :D
You can do this easily on any other RPG Makers, just instead of going to the map settings, go to show picture ( which should appear on all RPG Makers ) .
Thank you so much this has been so so so helpful. You should also add that for bigger maps, if you have to zoom out to 1/2 your fog needs to be on 200 zoom and if your screen is at 1/4 zoom then your fog needs to be on 400 zoom. There's so many applications to this I love you so much thank you
Awesome tutorial. Is there a slower version of you creating the lighting layers. I'm trying to understand how to make those layers properly. Love your tutorials.
Wow. Didn't think that was so easy to do that! Thanks!
Hi Echo! I have a question.
I have a large map 40x40
And I tried to make lighting like this,
But it was strange looking!
Like, lava light was on ground xd
I can imagine these images really piling up after a while. But nevertheless, good tutorial. I'll probably use this.
This is kool but I want to find out how to add fogs in MV. I think parallax would be better for this anyway because with fogs you would have to create a different image for every map (while with parallax you can just add stuff to your picture folder).
nice channel, clear explaination. subscribed :D
o_o I can see sooooo many applications for this technic my brain is boiling! thanks!
This is quite useful, but a problem i have though, when i move to another map, the picture is still there, i'm trying to figure out how to remove before i transfer to another map, i'm not sure if you'll reply to this comment. :3
Nice way of making Lighting thanks echo
Cool videos! Greeting from Poland :) We have our small RPG maker communnity, but sadly there isn't very people translating their games :( including me
hope to see more videos
o czym ty wgl gadasz. nikt cie nie pyta o twoje kompleksy zwiazane z polskoscią
I am facing a big issue with this. I've cropped it to the right size. But it still remains in the top corner. I don't know what else to do
please help! I tried to do this using both paint.net and firealpaca, but it keeps making the size messed up!
do you know of any way to do this in RPG Maker MV?? i can follow this video untill you get to the "resource manager" section (which MV doesnt have)
can anyone help?
@Exynos i know it's been three years but "dude" is a gender neutral term
i think you can just make this but when you have the file, save it in pictures and then make a parrarel event that makes the fog graphic show up (show image) i guess it'll work? i cant check my rpg maker mv broke because i dont have some "quazip.dll"
its a she XD
:3 Feel free, and good luck!
+Echo607 dude your a genius. I've got huge plans for this software that are very un-RPG like. might pick your brain again later
does this work on MV?
i have an idea for RPG maker VX Ace... just use pictures!
They display from top left of the screen and don't scroll with the map iirc
Many years have passed, but is there a psd file?I want to study one thing right.I'm sorry if it's not there.And can I get the detail of what you're doing?
what about for MV?
Hey! First of all: Thanks for creating wonderful videos!
I am new to RPG Maker, and I just bought MV. I really want to learn how to add this effect - but even though I've watched the Parallax Mapping video as well as this one, I still can't figure it out.
I would really appreciate it if you created a video like this specifically for MV. (Thought I'd share this, if you ever needed an idea for a future video - this is in no way a demand! haha).
Thanks again for creating tutorials! They're great! :D
+Echo607 oh ok, thanks
To my knowledge, by default pictures don't scroll with your screen, they just stay where ever you put them, hence needing a plugin to scroll them with the player:P
+Echo607 wouldnt showing a picture of the shading in the second page, picture option work too?
+CGonzales033 You'd have to use a plugin since they're lame and got rid of fogs X(
I have a tutorial for parallax mapping, which is basically the same as this and can be applied for just lighting:
