Stage Lighting Overhaul

This mod brings a big change mainly to lighting but also atmosphere for each stage (except Proud Spire for now). Been working on this on and off for over a year, heavily modifying or tweaking lighting, shadows, ambient occlusion, VFX, materials, volumetric fog etc. It can be installed on a per stage basis, so pick and choose. Also, all the Training Room Rework enjoyers can stop messaging me now because it's here too, along with improvements and variations.

This may likely cost a few fps but even before my mid range budget pc got fried (unrelated reasons), I was still hitting a consistent 60fps with the highest settings at 1080p. If you can comfortably play at those settings or higher you should be good. Nevertheless, I've made some tweaks so it looks good at lower settings.

There are still imperfections here and there. I'm no developer after all. For instance, stages that are shared in world tour may look off in that mode. So maybe uninstall those stages when you plan to play world tour, or don't, up to you.

Comparison images were taken at 1440p with all settings at their highest. If you want the same look as the images you'll have to turn on bloom. You can also tweak the in-game brightness to your tastes.

Thanks to FishBoy for helping me test some stages and alphaZomega for the tips when I was staring out with only Genbu Temple in mind. Anyway, I need to relax. Just had a back tooth removed and the pain f**king sucks. Enjoy!

INSTALLATION

This is the most effort I've ever put into a mod so if you enjoy this or other mods I make, consider supporting me on Ko-fi! I appreciate every bit.
