Help required for lighting!

[Matthis]

I am attempting to create a cave-themed dungeon with a dark lighting atmosphere but I can't figure out how to shade the screen a darker colour.. I've tried tinting the screen to dark but it restricts my character from moving. I've also tried getting an image of a light to follow my character but I'm unaware of a script I could use to make it fixed and follow the character :/
Any help is greatly appreciated!

You might need to learn Parallax mapping to do lighting effectively, it's a very tricky thing to pull off.

Here's a post of mine with some links, look for the section for "Light Effects Scripts", and there's a couple you might be interested to check out.

I also have a tutorial-video I made that gives an example on how to use the Victor's Light Effects script:

Thank you very much! :')

Is there any way you can post what was scripted in the comment commands to give the character a "torchlight glow" ?

Just see my tutorial-video, there's also an downloadable demo you can download and see for yourself (see the link in the description for the video).

Awesome :D thanks again!

The demo here:

Example Comment commands you can put to first create a shade for a map, then to create a torchlight effect around the party:

<create shade>
opacity: 90, blue: 95, red: 30
</create shade>

<actor light>
id: 50, name: "torch",opacity: 250, var: 3, speed: 1, zoom: 220
</actor light>

Is there any way I can change the colour of the torch? I haven't had much time to read through the scripts so I'm not sure how I might do so

Looks good Matty.
Well, for changing colors of the lights itself..
Perhaps use a graphic editing software, like GIMP (or whatever your prefer), load in the image, switch to a "negative" of the image (Invert it). Add/adjust or chage the color to how you'd prefer. Invert the image again, and export/save the changes (I'd suggest to export as a new image/ new filename, so you won't overwrite the original images).
