Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles Update — Mod Compatibility Status & Broken Mods List

[h3]A small but visually impactful BETA is now available[/h3][p]I had some time this week to lift the lighting system from the Falconeer/shipshaper, improve its technical base so its suitable for Bulwark and that's now available on Beta. Basically if you set the shadows to Ultra (this is not a super heavy feature, be lightweight either). Though the lights add no extra cost for more complex builds.) you gain ambient light probes over your city and for gunfire. This isn't true directional lighting, so no shadows or any raytracing goodness, but point lights for each lantern above a walkway or each tracer round, big highlights on special buildings, even the mast lights on ships now work. As part of this I've tuned the night a little darker, this will affect everyone, but not criminally;) I do believe most people will be able to run ultra shadows. Also because I downgraded the ultra shadows to accommodate the lighting, so the performance hit on ultra is lower than before..
