Any updates on the lighting stuff you're working on? I've been holding off on a few things in anticipation of the Lighting getting fixed.

[Neus]

Not at the moment. Go ahead with whatever you want to work on, when it's closer to becoming a reality I'll let you know.

[LatentSparrow]

Alright. Would adding this cause any issues to the game? Right now, it loads up fine in the editor when I throw it in new_turfs.dm. This is just the alpha_mod I use for lighting color coded by using your method so I can see visually.

EDIT: Also, is there an easier way to make NPCs? Such as forming the sprite sheet dmi for a NPC while using SL2 specific clothing (like from mirror shards and whatnot).

[Neus]

It should be fine.

There are easier ways, I can give you a tool to do so if it'll help. Just let me know which key.

[LatentSparrow]

Thank you!

What exactly is the cause of this issue? It happened the second I booted the maker up with it, and it seems like everything is in it's proper place despite.

This has been answered a few times. You need to enable FILE_DIR for sub-directories in Build -> Preferences

[DerpyMcPandos]

Is it fine/safe to edit a turf's Shift_X and Shift_Y value?

I have examined other terrain in the mapping folder and found the auto-joined dark forest terrain turf to use this but I would like some clarification given this method does not use coding but direct tile edits.

The reason I have asked is because it seems similar enough to pixel movement to make me cautious

[Neus]

Shift_X and Shift_Y are used for icon displacements when you walk on the turf. You'd have to tell me for what purpose you want to edit it.

[DerpyMcPandos]

The main reason I'm interested in it is for the aesthetic purpose of letting the player move their sprite closer to the edge of a tile rather than looking like they're being overly cautious of the edge of a cliff for example.

For these reasons I have no intentions of bringing the Shift_X and Shift_Y values below -8 or above 8.
