Cheers for explaining that Simon. :)I did mean to mention that everyone on the team either have full time jobs elsewhere or are engaged with other things, like university in Simon's case, or the CMS/website company that Thomas (Marvel) runs, etc...I'm currently helping develop a game & I have stuff I have to do at home too, so my time is more focused on those things, instead of the engine documentation.Simon did make a good point about the writing of the documentation too... It is very time consuming, especially having to think how to phrase things in a way to make it easy enough for everyone to understand & then going over & over the content again to make sure grammar/spelling is correct & that it sounds ok. Also the diagrams & screenshots also take a little while to do; especially if they contain annotation over the top of them explaining various things. To create a screenshot I need to open the editor, print screen, open photoshop & then paste the image into photoshop, crop, edit & export, then upload which probably takes 5+ minutes per image.The most recent page I wrote which was one about recommended image formats for Visionaire Studio & along with a mini-guide to encoding/conversion/exporting your images to .webP format (with screenshots) took me over 20 minutes to write & that was only a small page.The few tutorials I have provided in the wiki, took me hours to create & write as I provided the .ved & resource files as well as a step by step tutorial for what I did.The few shader function examples that are currently on the wiki in the script index also have .ved & resource files that I created & provided as examples, all of which probably took me anything from 20 minutes to over an hour to create. There was actually more examples before but an error occurred a few months back & we lost quite a few of the wiki pages. The dev that handles the apple stuff (as Simon mentioned earlier) also helps me with wiki programming & has since added an automatic backup system to the server so we don't lose anything again. :)As I mentioned before: I mostly focus on the Lua side of the Visionaire Studio. I also recently spent a lot of spare time sorting out the new wiki themes. David changed us over from the basic theme to the bootstrap framework, which I then wrote the code for the theme changer & the style sheet code, which took me about a week or so.

VS has no support for masks or overlays. The only way to do that would be with the shader.The idea behind the image method would be to create a black/semi-transparent black image with a circle cut into it & you set the image as the current mouse cursor. Problem with that is that the image size can be quite large which could make your game lag considerably.I'm sure Simon would give you a simple example of how to create a spotlight fixed to mouse cursor if you asked him. It could even be pretty much plug & play.

Hmm no. Visionaire 3.x license key was only valid for all versions of Visionaire Studio 3.0 until the final public release of 3.x (3.7.1) before 4.0 beta was released. The 4.0 license will cover all future builds from 4.0 beta until 5.0 is released & then you will need a new license to upgrade to 5.0. So yes, you need to purchase a 4.x license to upgrade to 4.x builds. There's lots of new features for 4.x such as windows/mac editors, multi-platform export support (win, mac, linux, ios, android) & various new action parts, open gl shader support, new lua functions, new sound engine, various optimization edits & bug fixes, 3D character support (early days) & whatever else has been added/changed. I forget. :P

Tried a little, would work with a modified glow. I try to update the shader script soon for more flexibility. Problem is it will never look as good as in your image above.

No but SimonS does. He told me that it is essentially C. To me most of the GL code he's written in the shader toolkit script looks like pure gibberish to me!
