📋 About This Mod
(Previously known as Vault-Tec Workshop Lighting Fix)
What does this mod do?
This mod started as a simple recreation of some of the lighting features found within the original Vault-Tec Workshop Overhaul. Over time, I decided to bring in more of the old features, and introduce new ones.
VTWOR in its current state addresses three of the main lighting issues within the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC; brightness, lighting node positions, and the bug that caused lights to appear as if they were turned off. It also addresses some minor texture and quality-of life issues (see Features), enhances building with Vault lights, and allows you to snap lights to some building pieces.
Features:
Lighting
-
[]Lighting bug that caused lights that were on to appear off has been fixed.
[
]Lights now project light from the correct source (see screenshots).[]Lights now have the same values as those found in existing Vaults, such as Vault 81 and the entrance of Vault 88 (see screenshots).
[]Lights are now spotlights instead of omnidirectional. This effectively eliminates light bleeding through walls.
- []Comes with three lighting "presets," these include , , and lights. See the performance section for more details.
-
[]Adds a new pivoting spotlight.
[]Adds the curved wall light seen in other Vaults.
Power
-
[]The Vault Power Conduit has had its range doubled.
[]The bridge building pieces now carry power like the rest of the Vault pieces.
Snapping
-
[]Wall lights now snap to walls. Work-in-progress; not all pieces have snap points.
[]Ceiling lights now snap to ceilings. Again, this is a work-in-progress. not all pieces have snap points.
[]Illuminated Vault signs now snap above doorways.
[]Overseer desk now snaps to Overseer Room pieces.
Misc
-
[]All of the Vault "rooms" (except the Overseer set) are now derived from a single set of meshes, rather than having individual meshes for every room. This allows for a smaller file size and streamlined updating process. It also gives every piece a consistent look from the outside.
[]Crates can be stacked on top of each other.
[]Adds a buildable "shortcut" to your workshop's inventory. It is found under Furniture > Containers.
