Handheld Torches

SHOWCASE VIDEO

I was a bit annoyed how light sources currently just lit everything evenly from the player's POV and I really wanted to emphasize DFU's already excellent lighting and shadows so I started with making Item-Based Lighting less of a set-and-forget kind of thing with the Free Hand Requirement. Then it just snowballed into this. Funny how that works.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT ITEM BASED PLAYER TORCH IS ENABLED IN YOUR DFU ADVANCED SETTINGS BEFORE REPORTING ISSUES WITH THE INPUTS NOT WORKING

• []Free hand requirement for light source

  []Droppable light sources

  []First-person torch and lantern graphics

• []Handheld light sources like Torches, Lanterns, Candles and Holy Candles require a free hand to be used.

  []If there is no free hand, the light source will be either stowed or dropped (configurable in Mod Settings)

  []If a light source was stowed, it will be automatically re-equipped when a hand becomes free once again.

  []Trying to equip a light source without a free hand is disallowed.

  []With melee weapons and unarmed, the hands they are equipped in are occupied when unsheathed.

  []Shields and bows will always occupy the hand they're equipped in, even when sheathed.

  []OPTIONAL: With two-handed melee weapons, the off-hand will only be occupied when attacking with the weapon.

  []OPTIONAL: Lanterns will not be stowed when both hands are occupied.

  []OPTIONAL: Spellcasting (readying or casting a spell) will occupy both hands for the duration of the cast. Toggle through Mod Settings.

  []OPTIONAL: Climbing will occupy both hands. Toggle through Mod Settings.

  []OPTIONAL: Swimming will occupy both hands. Toggle through Mod Settings.

• []When an equipped light source is forcibly stowed, it will be dropped onto the ground in front of the player instead.

  []Dropped light sources will continue to shed light.

  []Their condition will also continue to decay as normal and during Resting and Loitering.

  []They can be picked up by interacting with them in either GRAB or STEAL mode.

  []Picking up a dropped light source with a hand free and without a light source equipped automatically equips it. Otherwise, it is just sent to your inventory.

  []Light sources can be dropped manually with a bindable input (DEFAULT: TAB). You must have a free hand to drop light sources this way. See Unity KeyCodes for a list of usable key codes to bind.

  []If a light source is dropped into water, it will be doused and not shed light. Thanks to Ralzar for allowing me to use these doused Candle and Holy Candle sprites from Darker Dungeons.
