Actual waist lantern with physics

Attaches a lantern to your character's waist that you can toggle on and off to illuminate the environment. Alternative to my other mod Magic pocket lantern.

Press the "B" button on your keyboard to turn the lantern on. Press it again to turn it off.

Press, hold and then release the "B" button on your keyboard to "unequip" the lantern. Press, hold and then release the "B" button again to "re-equip" the lantern. I changed it so that the light stays enabled even if the lantern is unequipped.

I've set up physics for the lantern and its chain so that it swings when you move.

Customization

Steam

Navigate to "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\Saved\Config\Windows\". Easy way to go there is to paste this in Windows Explorer's address bar and then press enter.

Gamepass

Navigate to "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\Saved\Config\WinGDK\". Easy way to go there is to paste this in Windows Explorer's address bar and then press enter.

Once you're there open the file named "Engine.ini" with a text editor like Notepad and paste these lines in it:

[/Game/Mods/WaistLantern/ModActor. ModActor_C]

HexColorString=#FFA769FF

CastShadows=false

LanternPosition=back

LightIntensity=2. 5

ToggleKey=B

You can find valid keys to use here: Unreal Engine Fkeys - Pastebin.com

All of them should work theoretically, at least the keyboard and the gamepad keys should work for sure.

The "HexColorString" variable is used to customize the light's color. You can use a color picker like this one:

Once you're satisfied with the color copy its hex code, for example #1ae579 for green, and paste it like this:

HexColorString=#1ae579

Codes for the mod's original colors:

Yellow (torch light color) hex code: #FFA769FF

Orange hex code: #FF4800FF

Cyan-white hex code: #9CFFF6FF

The CastShadows variable affects the light's ability to cast shadows. You can use false to disable shadow casting or true to enable it.

The LanternPosition variable affects the lantern's position. You can use back to position it at the back of the player or front to position it at the front.

Don't forget to save the file once you're done.
