📋 About This Mod

Its BETA because i refuse to complete the game till certain aspects of the game are changed, and this is one of them. So since i havent left Megatron, i havent checked everywhere in the game, with the changing of the Night Shader Effects. I also am not happy with the light calculations that i have currently, i dont like the shadows and darker textures looking that dark. You tell me what you think Please relay feedback if there is anything out of place or tweaks any further tweaks and advice. After i get enough feedback i will do the Final version with all the changes and fixes
