📋 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.
