📋 About This Mod
Description
Spotlight that lights distant objects and smoothly follows your crosshair. Works in conjunction with adjustable Pip-Boy light.
It works like directional light mods but lights only objects around the place it falls onto and a lot farther. Unlike directional light mods for F3/FNV it doesn't have significant impact on performance.
Pip-Boy light is adjustable: it has three levels of intensity (dim, standard, bright) and can be switched off completely.
Both lights switched on and off as usual (hold Pip-Boy control). To switch Pip-light modes press Activate while holding Run/Walk (Shift+E for example) when looking into empty space, to switch spotlight on/off use the same combination but hold Activate for a second instead of tapping.
Switching requires FOSE. Without it you can change modes only via the console:
set rmSLModePipBoy to ‹value› (0 = off, 1 = dim, 2 = normal, 3 = bright)
set rmSLModeRoaming to ‹value› (0 = off, 1 = on)
Advanced usage: Spotlight behavior can be adjusted with "set rmSLMain.frames to <val>" (default: 4) and additionally by changing quest delay (default: 0. 09)
======================
Installation
======================
Copy .esp and meshes folder to Data folder and activate.
You can optionally use legacy rmSpotlight_2L.esp instead which uses the same principle as in v1. 0. This one doesn't require meshes.
