TTW - Robco Lights

TTW

Description:

Almost all Robots in the game will emit a light, relevant to their design. If it looks like it has parts that should light up, it will.

For example, Protectron's head-lamps/lights and the Mr. Gusty's eyes and flame underneath, Securitrons screens, etc..

Compatibility:

Should be compatible with just about everything - But if anything edits the same robots this mod edits, or uses any scripts on them, there might be issues.

Questions:

Performance?:

There may be a performance hit, but i've not noticed any.

From initial testing, the mod appears relatively stable. If you get dozens of robots in a small area, you might notice drops.

1. It's going to change stuff

This mod alters all Robots to have lighting - It's not a small thing to stack lights on to Robots. This has been tested however with all mods, you might get some issues. Please report anything you find and if i can fix it or help, i will. If i can't, i'll try to tell you why.

2. Coloured Lights

Some different colours of lights are added to certain Robots. Outcasts have a 'Black-Light' type of look, like a flourescent, dark purple. This was to try to create variety, but if the feedback is enough to want to change this i may consider it. Other colours were chosen based on what the texture looks like. If a Sentry has Red components, the lights added are Red. If another Sentry has Orange components, the lights will be Orange. This was the methodology on selecting what colour lights to use, with exception of times i wasn't sure what else to use.

3. Your Visuals & This Mod

Because this mod was based around vanilla-esque visuals (I didn't use an ENB or Reshade) your visuals may vary depending on what setup you have.

For example, some lights may be SUPER bright. If this is the case please let me know, i might be able to tweak the values a little bit, depending on feedback and screenshots to find a better medium. Also if you use model replacers for robots that change how they look, some lights might not make sense to be where they are.

4. Not all Robots have lights (yet)

There are many robots that have Scripts, which is the way which this mod applies lights to them so because of this i can't yet
