Alternative lighting angles

As I explain here , I think it would be great if a setting option would allow light to be emitted from the bottom of a token instead of the top. I think it would be great if putting a value of, say "-1" in the multiplier box would reverse it. This would save a lot of time and allow gms to do a lot more in vision and sneaking-based games without having to flip every token.

Really, just having a direction angle and a field of view angle would be sufficient for any situation.

Except that the light comes from the wrong side. DL has been getting a lot of new developments upon which I would like to capitalize, but unfortunately I have a year worth of tokens that are oriented downward, and it would take a very long time to reverse every token such that they weren't all emitting light backward.

Sure. I'm talking about a light direction angle, so you could change them to shine down instead of up. But then people with tokens that face to the side could have the light point that way also. Someone doing an isometric dungeon might want the light to face at a 45.

Yeah, that would be pretty cool. In any case, it requires a feature that's not presently available, right?

Yeah, totally.

This other suggestion is similar enough (asking for more directional controls for Dynamic lighting views), the 2 suggestions could be combined if you agree. In other words it might be worth adding your comment on that thread and giving a +1 to it. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1291179/line-of-sight-tweak-cone-and-circle-vision#post-1291179" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1291179/line-of-sight-tweak-cone-and-circle-vision#post-1291179</a>

Yeah, I'll go ahead and move over.
