📋 About This Mod

Makes Base Lights and the Flashlight brighter! Also allows you to customize them in the game!

Press Alt and L at the same time to bring up the Configuration Menu.

Requires Integration!

Install the mod using KaiHeilos' Mod Manager

Mod Overview

Makes Base Lights and the Flashlight brighter! Base Light brightness and other effects can changed while in-game. Can also change Flashlight brightness, range and color.

Press Alt and L at the same time to bring up the Configuration Menu.

For advance users. They may change the values inside the YourCustomLightSettings.uasset file to their preferred settings using the Asset Editor by Heilos.

By default, Base Light brightness is increased by 150. Flashlight range is 3 times the default value and Flashlight brightness at night is 2 times it's default value. Vehicle Headlight distance is 2 times it's default value.

Note:

Offset Values in the menu means how far is the current setting value from the default value.

Negative values deduct, positive values add.

I opted for this minus and plus method. Because it's easier for my smooth brain and to avoid having all light sources have the same value.

Those reasons and I hate math and sorting.

Also if you are looking to change the values the lights will use each time the community is loaded. Using the Asset Editor. Go to Code Block 39 of the YourCustomLightSettings.uasset. The value of these properties are the ones you want to edit.
