Improved Chemlights

This mod completely recreates the chemlight system in Ready or Not, transforming them from simple glowing sticks into realistic tactical tools. Every parameter has been adjusted to match the behavior of real-world chemical lights (like Cyalume sticks) used by tactical teams.

Key Features:

• Realistic Intensity & Physics: The lighting model has been switched to Inverse Squared Falloff. Chemlights no longer act like magical floating lamps; they now provide a soft, physically accurate glow that illuminates the immediate environment (3–5 meters) with natural light decay. Authentic Dimming Logic: The "burn" rate has been significantly reduced. In real operations, chemlights last for hours. This mod ensures they maintain a steady brightness throughout the entire mission, rather than fading out quickly like the vanilla version. Tactical AI Navigation Fix: Modified the navigation collision properties. AI teammates and suspects will no longer perceive thrown chemlights as physical obstacles. This prevents "pathfinding stutter" where bots would awkwardly avoid or get stuck on marked doorways. Loadout Scaling: Multiple versions are included to provide different amounts of chemlights per slot. Choose the one that best fits your mission profile  — from realistic quantities to extended packs for large-scale raids.
