Update thanks to Shin - still some problems with it. It’s on our to-do list to fix up more, we’ll make a new post with a “version 2″ later.

We released an “AutoShadow Killer” over at Gamebaker early before Rpg Maker VX had it’s english version. Unfortunately, RMVX auto shadow eliminators also got rid of table & bush tile special functions.

Here’s a rewrite using other information we found out with our debug system that fixes those problems. We’re making the autoshadows fix public today (just a short edit), there might still be other flaws we haven’t found. Please feel free to leave any comments below!

Updated version: Removing Rpg Maker VX shadows

class Game_Map
  alias gamebaker_goodbyeshadow_oldsetup setup
  def setup(*args)
    gamebaker_goodbyeshadow_oldsetup(*args)
    #goodbye_shadows
  end

  def goodbye_shadows
    for x in 0...$game_map.data.xsize
      for y in 0...$game_map.data.ysize
        if $game_map.data[x,y,1] == 0
          $game_map.data[x,y,1] = $game_map.data[x,y,0]
        end
      end
    end
  end
end
