Machine God's Beacon

Work In Progress

This mod is under active development. Features may change, and runtime toggling of environment effects is experimental.

Overview

Enables custom control of map-based light sources and environmental shading effects. Configurable light selection, flicker behaviors, and environment blocking for special mission types.

Features

Environment Control

Blocks theme-injected shading environments that create darkness and fog effects.

• []Lights Out – Blocks darkness shading environments applied by the theme system.[/]

  []Ventilation Purge – Blocks fog/volumetric shading environments.[/]

  []Toxic Gas – Blocks toxic gas shading environments.[/]

  []Dawn - Blocks bright shading environment.[/]

  []Noir - Blocks black and white environment (unsure of where it is in game).[/]

  []Inferno/Ember - Blocks fire/smoke shading environments[/]

  []Mode selection: Off, All Missions, Normal Only, Special Only.[/]

  []Operates at theme load time; changing settings requires map reload.[/]

  Light Control

  Direct manipulation of light group states across the entire map.

  • []Works on all mission types or restricted to special missions only.[/]

    []Percentage-based control of active lights per light group.[/]

    []Selection modes determine which lights remain active:

    []Incremental – Lights activate in sequence from first to last.[/]

    []Alternating – Every Nth light remains on.[/]

    []Spread – Even distribution across the light group.[/]

    []Random – Random subset selected per group.[/]

  [/]

  []Captures original light states; toggling off restores original behavior.[/]

  Flicker Effects

  Optional dynamic lighting behavior applied to controlled lights.

  • []Flicker modes:

    []Static – No flicker; lights remain in set state.[/]

    []All – All controlled lights flicker simultaneously.[/]

    []Cascade – Flicker propagates through lights in sequence.[/]

    []Random – Random subset flickers each interval.[/]

  [/]

  []Timing parameters:

  • []Interval – Time between flicker events.[/]

    []Duration – How long lights remain in flicker state.[/]

    []Cooldown – Minimum time before a light can flicker again.[/]

  [/]

  [*]Stutter mode[/
