Day and Night Cycle Resource Pack

Description
This is a resource pack containing various script to achieve day and night cycle.

Featuring Khas Awesome Light Effects and Selchar Harvest Moon style Variable Based Calendar and Weather System.

In this demo I will show you how manipulate the Date & Time and use its variable to alter the Lighting, the NPC's behavior and the Monster encounter as well.

Features

Custom Name your character screen
Start your game in a Suikoden style naming screen.

Bed Rest
Resting in bed will move the time in the next morning (8 AM).

Lighting
Candles, fireplaces, etc will turn on at night and turns off in the morning.

NPC Behavior
NPCs have their own behavior. They will sleep and wake depending on time. There is also a Mysterious Woman who loves using the bonfire to create some weird magic all night and sleep like a log throughout the day in her cozy tent.

BGM and BGS
Comes night and crickets will sing their tunes. Outside the BGM is set to around 80% of volume but once you get inside the house the volume will drop drastically. Daytime plays the default BGM.

Inside the house the window's blinds close/open depending on the time. I forgot to include this feature 'outside' the house to do the same so you have to do it yourself.

The fireplace if it is being used you will see smoke coming out of the chimneys outside outside the house.

Monster Encounters
You wll encounter weaker monsters during daytime and stronger monster at night.

Different Lighting for Caves and Dungeons
Caves and dungeons are supposed to be dark. In this demo when you enter the cave the lighting will be overridden.

Real-time calendar
Includes a calendar that you can easily customize.

Implementing demo to an existing project

Eyyy, I have little problem with lightning. Its not serious problem but it destroys a little look of game. When I takes lantern and I walk to corner of tunel or wall (like in cave in demo) shadows are not working. Any ideas?
Zalzany 23 Jun, 2018 @ 2:50pm 
What if I jsut want to cut out the minute timer and what not, and just have a simple set up where you do certain tasks or events is how it will see it, and it swaps to the next stage of daylight or night time? I am just trying to sort out how to make a morning, noon, afternoon, evening, midnight set up with very basic switches for each so I can just code each event the palyer can do to swap out the lighting. And well the lighting effects would be neat to have as welll.

But I don't want a timer, and iffy about day counter. I just looking for a simple way to flip through like that morning, noon, afternoon, evening, midnight, repeat system for my game. Its basically gonna be the same maps for the entire time I am just gonna cod a bunch of event chains in that change peridically and want those switches so charactors move through out the day, and the lighting matches it.

I don't really understand how this works. It says to download all I have to do is subscribe but nothing is downloading.
Is this something that will only download if I have bought the Rpg maker vx ace on steam?
Because I bought the one on their website.
If you can please let me know.
