FGU Sharing LOS and Light Definitions

[Zacchaeus]

Here's the 4.1 xml file for Alagoran's Gem 5E. Just one map. Includes lighting for outside lights illuminating dungeon entrance ways and lava flows, pits and some corrections to the original walls. At this early stage in lighting development, feedback would be really useful. Thanks

Thanks for taking part Moriarity. I'm not sure about the lighting of the lava. I think maybe you need a few more lights in there to make it a bit more even - see the attached for ideas. Maybe tone down the colour a bit from what I've done. But the idea would be to have a more even distribution of the lighting.

Here's the xml files for The Raven's Call 5E. Again, at this early stage in lighting development, feedback would be really useful. Thanks

This looks good;I've updated the module.

MD 026: Sanctuary of Exsanguination, 5E: *Map: Dungeon (Player)

Added ambient light.with mask.

Corrected entranceway LOS to allow PCs access to stairs leading into the sanctuary and added lights shining down the stairs on a separate layer.

Added torch lights to the portals, extending the middle layer lights to 60ft to allow dim light where there is an encounter with NPCs that have no dark vision ability

.xml saved as 026-player.xml so I assume this is that actual map name in the module rather than "Map: Dungeon (Player)" as shown in the story and map title.

Here's the xml files for Crypt of the Sun Lord 5E. Very simple - Ambient light with a mask and a single light for daylight into the entrance. All encounters checked and all monsters use dark vision. Module specifies that a light source is required for anyone without low-light or dark vision.

Yep, good stuff. I've updated the module.

I agree. Done. I used your colours but reduced the opacity to 192 - seems to work well.

I thought I'd get my feet wet on a simple map. The module's introduction is very clear about light sources, so this was easy to setup

Thanks for taking part, fieldson. I've updated the module.

D&D AL - Shackles of Blood, 5E

Redplum camp: (sic) Ambient set to moonlight - modify as required. Torch light added to the campfire

Map - Deriel's Ambush: Ambient light set to moonlight - modify as required. Bush fire light layer with 3 lights added. This layer is turned off. If the ambush occurs during the night, turn the Bush fire light layer on at the end of the first round of the encounter. A masked river water layer added.

Map - Bell in the Depths: This is a nightmare for LOS. Originally, two variations using terrain and walls were used; Neither work very well so I've modified them all to be terrain occluders. Does anyone have any suggestions for alternative ways of depicting multiple levels with limited access via ladders? Water effect added; no lights other than ambient set to daylight

Indeed. I'd agree that the Dell in the Depth's poses a few problems. I think what you've done is as viable a solution as any. It might be possible to play around with illusionary walls or toggleable walls for some of the areas but terrain is as good as anything else I think. I've updated the module.

Nice work, thanks. I've updated the module.

The Case of the Scrupulous Pawnbroker - Dungeon Map (Player)

There are no original notes on lighting so I've assumed that there are double candle-holders on the wall sconces indicated. I've added a player starting area added outside the office with ambient daylight plus a torch (alpha to 160 to match daylight) shining into the office when the door is open. Flickering candle lights added throughout where wall sconces are indicated.- all modified bright:10, dim:20 to double-candle holders and all turned on as the thugs (in the encounter) have left them lit.
The original map probably needs updating to brighten up the unlit areas so 4.1 lighting works properly and to add more detail to show where the traps are - particularly room 5.
