No Shadows No Problem - Indoor Lighting Fix - FPS

Who this is for:

- Players in need of FPS/Performance:

-> macOS players on CrossOver who need max-perf INI tweaks to run G1R at all

-> Low-end / potato PCs / Steam Decks in need of no-shadows configs for playable FPS

-> Anyone already using a no-Lumen Engine.ini (disabling shadows) having the bright caves during day

Who should skip this:

- You run Lumen with shadows (vanilla) at decent FPS

- You just want the game to look "better"

The problem to fix:

With your potato PC you want FPS so when you disable shadows, interiors stop having shadows. Daytime skylight floods into huts, mines, and caves which looks way too bright and flat.

Turning shadows back on fixes it but costs frames you may not have. This mod keeps your perf profile and dims sky contribution when you're under a roof.

What it does:

- Dims skylight when the Hero enters indoors (buildings, caves, mines) during daytime

  - Recognizes Game-Intern "IsUnderRoof" flag.

- Smooth ~4s transition when entering, 1. 5s when exiting (configurable)

- Does not touch game clock, weather, or torch brightness

- Respects your Extra Interior Exposure slider

- Rendering Pipeline improvements (more FPS, less stuttering, less visual quality, no shadows)

Requirements:

- Gothic 1 Remake (Steam)
