i have absolutely no idea what this mod is doing. can you please give more information?

does this mod changes the light radius of player only? does this work with ingame lights? can you please post a screenshot comparison with vanilla and this one?

Sorry. I've updated the screenshot in the first post. Hopefully that helps.

So it makes the flashlight omnidirectional.

Maybe you could look at the base lights and make a spotlight from them?
Something with a small angle of light, but much longer lighted distance.

Yep. I got frustrated with night vision.

Check out Advanced Illumination. While it doesn't have what you what yet it is on the todo list

[n9103]

I was just making a suggestion to help your modding.
I actually very rarely use lights, and generally stick to my base when it gets absolutely dark.

[SHiRKiT]

I actually love doing stuff at night, and I love that Advanced Illumination Mod, since it makes lights more interesting, but I really wanted some better lights, with bigger radius.

[n9103]

You might want to look at the Vanilla Expansion then. It has two larger lights compared to stock.

This is a must have mod for Streamers and Youtubers. Don't force them to watch you work in the dark anymore.

from the wiki:

Code: Select all

game.alwaysday = true -- the day time is set to noon and it stays there forever

[JamesOFarrell]

Fixed first post with new format and added a license to the mod. There is no point in updating to this version is you have 0.0.1 already

[Koub]

Moved to Mods for 0.12 ‹ Gameplay / Convenience (0.12)

[bruteman]

12.5 broken no longer has full radius and has the flashlight again.

Edit its not broke sorry 12.5 made some change that mod yi_pfw mod now over rides all these mods leaving this up in case others find similar issue.

[ssilk]

Moved from gameplay+ to non-game-changing.

If You add this to the data.lua you'll get the same effect for the cars, tanks and trains(trains need to be moving for their white light to turn on, otherwise its just the blue-front and red-back)

Code: Select all

data.raw["car"]["car"].light =
    {
      {
        minimum_darkness = 0.3,
        intensity = 0.9,
        size = 60,
      }
	}
data.raw["car"]["tank"].light =
    {
      {
        minimum_darkness = 0.3,
        intensity = 0.9,
        size = 60,
      }
	}
data.raw["locomotive"]["diesel-locomotive"].front_light = 
	{
      {
        minimum_darkness = 0.3,
        intensity = 0.9,
        size = 60,
      },
      {
        minimum_darkness = 0.3,
        intensity = 0.9,
        size = 60,
      }
	}
data.raw["locomotive"]["diesel-locomotive"].stand_by_light = 
	{
		{
		  minimum_darkness = 0.3,
		  color = {b=1},
		  shift = {-0.6, -3.5},
		  size = 2,
		  intensity = 0.5
		},
		{
		  minimum_darkness = 0.3,
		  color = {b=1},
		  shift = {0.6, -3.5},
		  size = 2,
		  intensity = 0.5
		},
		{
		minimum_darkness = 0.3,
		intensity = 0.9,
		size = 60,
		},
		{
		minimum_darkness = 0.3,
		intensity = 0.9,
		size = 60,
		}
	}

Edit: added more light when the train isn't moving either(stand_by_light)

Thanks antisocialian, just what I was looking for to add to this useful mod.

[vaderciya]

Quite possibly the single best mod ever made.
I salute you sir!
