More Lighting Options

More Lighting Options

Description

Beef's More Lighting Options mod gives you additional control over lighting in the game.

Sun and Moon Brightness

Nights too bright? Days not dreary enough for you? You can increase or decrease the brightness/intensity of both the Sun and the Moon now, with independent settings.

Sign Emissiveness

Adjust your desired emissiveness level for each emissiveness option for signs (Off, Level 1, 2, 3) in the mod options either on the main menu or in-game. The default values are vanilla, so if you don't notice any changes make sure you've changed the settings!

There's a setting to increase the speed at which Mod Configuration options are applied to signs in-game since it now updates in realtime, at the cost of more flickering and if you have a lot of signs, potential for lag.

Sign Emissiveness


Sun and Moon Brightness

Known Bugs

• Untested and unlikely to work in multiplayer and dedicated for now.
• Updating brightness of signs in mod options, especially with Fast Update enabled, causes flickering. This is an artifact of the update process and there's not much I can do about it. It only happens while dragging sliders in mod options.

Changelog

• Version 1.1.2
• Rebuild against SML 3.10
• Version 1.1.1
• Fixed minor issue where Sun max brightness setting was capped at 2.0 instead of 5.0

• Version 1.1.0
• Control over sun and moon brightness/intensity values. You can make your sun and moon darker (or brighter) according to your wishes.
• Changed the default config values for all settings (including signs) to vanilla values, to allow picking and choosing what you want to alter.

• Version 1.0.2
• You can now see your mod config changes realtime in-game. There's a setting for "fast update" that can be set that speeds it up even more, but can result in flickering as it refreshes which is a vanilla behavior sped up.

• Version 1.0.1
• Added configuration support - requires reloading the save

• Version: 1.0.0
• Implemented basic functionality for signs
• Replaced vanilla values (0,1,5,10) with higher values (0,2,10,50)

Roadmap

(In most likely order of tackling them)

• [X] Configuration of sign brightness levels can happen in-game
• [ ] Dimmer lights - Allow setting lights lower than 10%, as sometimes this is still too bright
• [ ] Configure "light cones" emitting from regular lights, allowing them to be reduced or eliminated
• [X] Sun / Moon Brightness Control - to make your day and nights brighter or darker
• [ ] Place a slider in sign menu to give more fine-control over sign emissiveness
• [ ] Test and resolve any multiplayer / dedicated server issues, including synchroniziation of settings
