I know, but render layers are a thing, so you could ensure "glowing" objects come on top of shadows.Rseding91 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 5:30 amThanks for the report however that's just how it works when it's all just sprites: a lot of shadows are just gray transparent textures and when you render one over top of another it darkens it giving the shadow effect. There's no real light engine at play in the game - just sprites on sprites.
I think that for semi proper solution lights layer would need to be used to lighten shadows when they are rendered.Reika wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 9:20 amI know, but render layers are a thing, so you could ensure "glowing" objects come on top of shadows.Rseding91 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 5:30 amThanks for the report however that's just how it works when it's all just sprites: a lot of shadows are just gray transparent textures and when you render one over top of another it darkens it giving the shadow effect.

This is about the sprite itself, not whatever light the entity emits.orzelek wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 11:30 amI think that for semi proper solution lights layer would need to be used to lighten shadows when they are rendered.Reika wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 9:20 amI know, but render layers are a thing, so you could ensure "glowing" objects come on top of shadows.Rseding91 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 5:30 amThanks for the report however that's just how it works when it's all just sprites: a lot of shadows are just gray transparent textures and when you render one over top of another it darkens it giving the shadow effect.

Applying light after shadow is placed will give visible dimming there.
I was hoping that when rendering shadows you have lightmap ready - so if rendering shadow of any entity it could be suppresed in places where there is a light on lightmap.Reika wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 4:09 amThis is about the sprite itself, not whatever light the entity emits.orzelek wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 11:30 amI think that for semi proper solution lights layer would need to be used to lighten shadows when they are rendered.Reika wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 9:20 amI know, but render layers are a thing, so you could ensure "glowing" objects come on top of shadows.Rseding91 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 5:30 amThanks for the report however that's just how it works when it's all just sprites: a lot of shadows are just gray transparent textures and when you render one over top of another it darkens it giving the shadow effect.
