Shadow Eliminator, Eliminates the shadows created by your autotiles! Options

Shadow Eliminator 2.0

Script by GameClover, edited from the shadow eliminator by gamebaker.com to have improved features, and to eliminate a few problems. (Posted here with permission by Dark Gaia)

Introduction

This script, when inserted into your game, will stop RMVX generating shadows next to your wall autotiles, yet still retains the functionality of bushes and counter tiles. It's really that simple! This can help to negate some of the inconsistancy these shadows may cause in some detailed maps.

Installation/Compatibility

This script is plug and play! Simply insert it above Main and you're ready to get to work, no configuring needed! This script is compatible with most other scripts, except any Mode 7 scripts, or any other scripts that involve the editing or changing of how Sprite_Tileset works.

This small screenshot demonstrates the shadow elimination at work.

As far as I know, gamebaker IS gameclover. Isn't it?

So, I am looking forward to trying out this new version, but have you found any other issues? The way this works could cause z order problems, or perhaps issues with custom tilesets. Of course, the last one worked in a similar way, it just screwed up counter tiles. I assume that is why the check for some tile id greater than or equal to 4352.

Don't ask me, I only posted it, not wrote it! However, the site says that this is an enhanced version over the previous one and should have no problems with tile order anymore.

No, GameClover is affiliated with GameBaker, but they are different. GameClover is run by different people, and of course GameBaker does not allow anyone to redistribute their scripts.
