📋 About This Mod
v0. 0. 3 - Updated for Ashlands. Added depth controls to move the light forward/backward along player's sightline.
Description:
Adds a customizable light source to the camera to add just enough light to those annoyingly dark tombs... without having to switch out your helm for the flashlight one. Hit Ctrl+0 to toggle on/off the light. Hit Ctrl [+] in-game to increase brightness and Ctrl [-] to decrease. Hit Ctrl+PgUp to move the light up and Ctrl+PgDown to move it down, Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End to move it back/forward. All initial settings and hotkeys are configurable in the config file.
Config Options:
Enabled - bool, set to false to disable the mod.
Hotkeys (all) - Each hotkey accepts a comma-separated list of Unity "KeyCode" values (see this page for options: Unity KeyCodes). Note that setting hotkeys to a value not on that page or spelled incorrectly will crash this mod until it is set correctly--the only notification of failure will be in the BepInEx log console (and the fact that the light is off =)
Height - float, initial light height (in meters) above the player's head.
Depth - float, light position relative to player head along sightline vector.
Intensity - float, initial light intensity (brightness). Unity defines light intensity as a value from 0f to 8f.
Value - float, value from 0-1f representing color hue in light.
In-game Controls
Ctrl - Toggle on/off light
Ctrl [+] - Increase brightness
Ctrl [-] - Decrease brightness
Ctrl - Move light up
Ctrl - Move light down
Ctrl - Move light forward
Ctrl - Move light back
None that I'm aware of; let me know if so.
