Ooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!! This is totally fantastic!

I'm going to try the mod and report back in 15 mins.

Edit:
Ok, just tried it out.

1. The lights are fantastic. They really illuminate an area well.

2. The night vision goggles I can't test yet. This is why I hate the nights: night vision is a late game item because you need blue electronics boards for using them. By that time you normally have illuminated your complete factory anyway.


I checked the mod and it states:
Lamp -> light = {intensity = 0.95, size = 120}
Goggles -> light = {intensity = 0.5, size = 40}

Can you tell me what the original intensity and size is?
I think the lamp is -> light = {intensity = 0.9, size = 40}
I couldn't find the goggles though.

PS
I now see you're the same guy/girl who did the 'Water well' and 'Big bags' mods.
!!!YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

Happy to make you happy :D

Well I finished this mod a little late last night, so the code is not so clean, even if it works.

Infact the "light" line on the goggles has no effect, it was just a try I made. I forgot to delete this useless line.
On the goggles, the only active variable seems to be the tint, that gave a greenish overlighted feeling. I just suppress this and revamp the item, icon, insert into a technology, etc...

On the light, you are right, the classical lamp is {intensity = 0.9, size = 40} : I tripled the radius, enforce a little bit the light and increase the consumption to be consistent. And of course, I draw a new little look, which took me a lot of time comparing to the rest :lol:

Night vision goggles should not be daylight brightness. You should be able to tell its nighttime, just let it be light enough to see. Easy tweak to make on my own copy though. Great work

Indeed, just enough so you can see the surroundings, and still see it's night time.
I'm looking forward to trying the night-vision goggles.

In all honesty, I would prefer leaving the lamp in its original state (picture). Only the light/radius adjustment was needed.

Ha ha, I am afraid that's the way it will remain. Because if you want a greater effect, it seems logical that you have to install a bigger machine. For example, that's the same for electric poles : to get a wider range, you have a bigger pole, less easy to install. All is about balance, nothing is free ;)

Could you tell me what kind of tweak you changed on the glasses to get a little more dark without tinting or greying ? Because I tried a few things and did not find something nice...

sth i dont understand:

when i'd want to disable game mechanics like the night, I'd use the console.
basically, the glasses dont do sth else in my opinion: thy totally eliminate the night - i dont even get a Feeling for when my solar Panels stop working.

IMHO - i'd prefer a mod that even darkens the 14% brightness at night to about 5% or less...

If you disable the night, you cannot play with the solar panels / accumulators anymore... Thats' why some people want to have more lights in the night.

But if you like darkness, obvisously my mod called "Afraid of the dark" is not the one you need ;) . Have a look at Longer Day/Night Cycles.

Re: [MOD 0.12.X] Afraid of the dark 1.0.1

Post by binbinhfr »

Well, to try to please everyone, here is v1.0.1.

I don't like to add features without research or crafting costs, but I changed the personal lights around the player (the overall circular light and the cone light).
So this feature is enable from the beginning, for free.
You can edit the config.lua file to change the settings of the personal lights :
- you can enforce these lights to lighten up the night just around you, without having the infinite full day vision as with the glasses (try the default settings).
- you can also decrease these settings to get even darker nights (so that Speadge will be happy, because he is NOT afraid of the dark ;) )

Changing the personal light is a very smart way to do it!

I didn't try the goggles yet, because as I said, I don't have blue electronic boards yet so I can't use them.

Hi,

it probably comes from an incompatibility with one of your other mods.
Do you have mods that creates alternate player characters / cars / tanks / locomotives ? Please send me your mod-list.json to be sure.
