Description

The classic Lighting option is just basically a scam, it just tries to apply a filter onto the game, tht just looks bad. My mod aims to rebuild the entire classic lighting, to make it feel like ps2 lighting. W. I. P ,  your opinions are welcome.

the legacy version is just a buggy mess, and when i add mods to it, it just becomes even more buggy mess, so i just decided to play defenitive edition. But instead what i realised was  this was a fuckin  defective edition which fuckin lackluster in terms of everything.

So i just decided to jump into modding sceene myself as there were no good mods for what i was aiming
