📋 About This Mod



PROJECT REALISM

Mod Description:

Changes listed below function on all maps

Update 3. 9:

-Enabled exposure and tweaked it so you don't get blinded while inside the house.

-Restored coloured bloom because it played a main part in coloring the scene. Though intensity of it was severely reduced keeping only it's colouring functions.

-Increased Bloom Threshold so you don't get blinded by your own flashlight

-Enabled fog and tweaked it for dramatic look where it can be

-Reduced sunlight intensity during the day because it was too bright on some maps..

-No fog at night because realism and stuff (it's actually a thing) but more for a reason that the fog produces some weird ass buggy coronas around the moon and makes the precious stars not visible.

-Removed sky swap options, will bring them back when i'm not lazy

COMPATIBLE with UPDATE v36
