📋 About This Mod
What this mod does.
This mod adds in a small menu into the chem station with 3 new craftable objects: Flare, Flare bulk, Neon sticks.
READ THIS!
The chemlights will glitchout when you exit and load back in!
you will nolonger be able to pick them up when re-loading a save.
however they will still despawn.
As stated above, this mod adds in 3 new craftable objects. these are an alternative (and immersive) way of lighting up an erea.
So now the the items:
Flare - The flares give alot of (Red) light, they can be used anywhere but i reccomend not using them inside small rooms because the smoke will block more of your vision than the light will give. Flares have a duration, that means after a while around a minute i think the light slowly fades away back in to the darkness.
I also added an Omni shadow to the flare for all you Immersion lovers :p
Neon Sticks - small sticks that can be trown or dropped. they emit a green light with a blue tint that is meant to light up the road or a room. the range is not so impressive but it lights up the room just fine. these also have a duration, but that will take a very long time so don't think you have only 10 minutes of light. the biggest feature about these things is that you can grab and move them around and even pick them back up.
Planned Features.
1. Different ranges of light
2. Different craftable durations for the flares
3. Different color options for Neon sticks
4. M. I. R. V Flare that will iluminate big erea's
5. Adding them to the leveled list of vendors And gunners, Bos
(I might add some new items in the future with the same idea in mind)
Patch Notes:
V1. 0. 2
1. Added Different Flare Sizes (with the effects to light, radius and duration)
2. adjusted ChemStick color to be less greenish
3. Solved update Error i made before. (i didn't Save properly)
4. Added New variant of the flaregun and special ammo
5. Changed Personal Patch Ordering to prevent errors in the future
6. Flares now fall down

2. Sticky Chemlight
3. Skiped v1. 0. 2 (Because this version patches some bugs)
Patched some bugs
Removed old test items.
Added a handheld flare (You can use it, but it will look.. weird.. anyway it works!)

Fixed flare fuel. it now works and is now cartable!
