Deo's Custom Day & Night Tones for Essentials
Before v17 of Essentials, the day & night shading tones were pretty awful. They detracted from the beauty of pretty much every tileset and made it difficult to see at night. I made these tones to give people an alternative. As of Essentials v17, the default day & night tones have finally been vastly improved.

If you're looking for day & night tones for Gen 4 (I consider mine to compliment Gen 3, not so much Gen 4) please check out these Gen 4 Day & Night Tones by VanillaSunshine.


My custom day & night tones are made with the goal of preserving the beauty and color of tilesets, and to keep everything visible. Generally I'm not interested in having a new shade for every hour.

Simply replace the HourlyTones in your PField_Time script with the one I've provided. That's it. In theory this should work with most versions of Essentials, unless Day & Night tones get an overhaul at some point.

These are the tones I first released. They're meant to compliment gen 3 pretty well, although people have used them with gen 4 and got decent results.

Some feedback I got also led me to create a variation of the above but with a sunset in addition to a sunrise. It replaces the tones used at 5 PM, 6 PM, and 7 PM with the ones for 6 AM.

For the Relic Castle Game Jam #3, I worked with Dawn Bronze and Aki on Pokémon Fable. I created day and night tones for Fable, and they're available for public use.

Given that Fable is based around fairy tales and such, I wanted the day and night tones to feel a little whimsical and magic with a bit more purple, but to also keep my standard of visibility and keeping tilesets looking nice. They're pretty subtle and not super drastic.

i give this a 4 because it really gives more of a time progressive feel, but what keeps it from getting a 5 is it doesnt give hourly progression, more like 6 hr progression which is still nice, much nicer than the essentials default.
