I said that it's the best to split up layer into several blocks.

* Well, of course, one box may effect 2 or 3 blocks.

160*160 block size:
Shadow Layer ~= 2kb
Light Layer ~= 1.5kb
So, both layers (48 images) would take about 84kb with 20*15 tiles map size.

I'll try to implement this method during further versions.
For now, I've driver problems that concerns Windows Vista and Win7.

@Lee: that's why you take advantage of the fact that the majority of the image is static. you only have to change a (hopefully small) part of the map when an entity is triggered....

as for light from different entities interfering, then you need 2^n sets of small images where n is the number of entities in the group.

so if u have m independent groups of n entities (close together), you only need 1 large static image and m*(2^n) sets of small images.

with your way, there would be 2^(m*n) sets of large images

Blazzingxx (yes grand myth, i call you Blazz cause your new nickname is bad) i got suggestion for your programm: you can choose zone, where you want make lights and shadows (this is big economy of memory). Example: my zm_toxic_house - you dont need any images behind floors. You dont need spend memory to darkness.
p.s. I belive that you able to read this. My english is fail.



(added few days later...)
Next month coming soon..

@Fapicon,
That's already included in several ways.
When you're exporting, you can select only part that you need (house floor, ect)
Other option is to make objects that disables shadows and lights effect for certain area.

At the moment, I'm pretty busy with my band... So, I might delay release for several days.

@GrandMyth: Why don;t you release a Alpha product, even if it doesn't yet work on all platforms? It will help you with bug-finding and everything, plus everyone will get a preview of what you have been working on

It's 4 hours for me though.

Do not push me, I'll do it as soon as I can.
I'm working with Shadows and Lights at the moment.
Thus, the problem with Vista and Win7 is solved.

I just rewrite most of the lights generation code.
