✨ Mod Introduction:
This Don't Starve Together lighting & shadow mod follows real-world lighting rules: during the day, shadows shorten from long to short and then lengthen again, and their direction changes over time. In addition, transparency varies with seasons and weather—it is lowest in winter, rain, and snow, and highest in summer.
🎉 Update Contents:
1. Removed the radiance filter. 2. Optimised shadow synchronisation and skin synchronisation logic. 3. New feature in this update: added the "Pure Shadow Broom", which can only be spawned via the console using the command `tl_broom()`. This broom allows you to toggle shadows on or off for specific entity types. (Note: it works by type—for example, if you sweep a spider, all spiders' shadows will disappear at once~) More detailed update notes
🪲 Debug Commands:
`tl_alpha(val)` -- Set base transparency `tl_maxlen(val)` -- Set maximum shadow length `tl_minlen(val)` -- Set minimum shadow length `tl_winter(val)` -- Set winter shadow attenuation `tl_summer(val)` -- Set summer shadow intensification `tl_rain(val)` -- Set rainy‑day shadow attenuation `tl_broom()` -- Get the Pure Shadow Broom (host only) `tl_help(val)` -- Display debug commands (just remember this one~)
