Requiem Better Flashlight

Description

Allows the user to modify the flashlight intensity, providing a better game experience

Installation instructions

Just run the Lua file in REFramework script section or put the file into the REFramework autorun folder 

Requirements

REFramework:  REFramework at Resident Evil Requiem Nexus - Mods and community

- An auto-start script feature was added; now the script/mod starts automatically without requiring user interaction.

- A button was added that allows saving custom luminance settings; these settings are persistent and saved in a JSON file.

- Resolved an issue where the lighter's intensity was incorrectly modified at the start of Rhodes Hill.

- Implemented automatic value detection to differentiate between the flashlight and the lighter, isolating their parameters.

- Added a state-reset function to prevent memory contamination when loading save states or switching between map segments.

- Added an "Unlock Lighter Override" toggle, allowing manual modification of the lighter's intensity.

- Added a "Reset to Default Values" button to instantly restore the original parameters.

- Fixed a bug that blocked the enhancement system in episode 3 of Grace.

Installation:

Place the `BetterFlashlight.lua` file inside your game's `reframework/autorun` folder.

Usage for 1. 1. 1:

1. Launch the game and press the "Insert" (INS) key to open the REFramework menu.

2. Expand the "Script Generated UI" section.

3. Click the "Initialize Flashlight Hooking" button to activate the mod.

4. Adjust "Intensity", "Distance", and "Volumetric Scattering" using the sliders.

Usage for version 1. 2:

- Usage is the same as for 1. 1. 1 and earlier versions. Go to "Script generated UI" and you will find the BetterFlashlight window. Expand it to modify the desired Luminance value.

- To save your custom settings, use the Save Settings button in the interface.

*Note: Increasing Volumetric Scattering forces the light to interact more heavily with dust and atmospheric particles, which may reduce performance on some systems.
