Fancy Lanterns [B42 Compatible]

Description
This mod adds rechargeable and wearable light sources aka Fancy
It was made for Sunday Drivers[discord.gg] server to encourage players to be more active at night

20 Colors! Rechargeable! Attachable!
  1. Craft or find Grey Fancy Lantern in the world
  2. Get the Paint Bucket of your favorite color and paint it
  3. Attach it to your favorite bag or belt together with other items
  4. Run from sprinters in style
  5. ?????

Key Features
  • Each color matches 1 to 1 the colors in Paint Buckets (except new colors)
  • Recharge time and how much can be recharged can be adjusted in Sandbox Options. At full charge Fancy Lantern lasts about 10 hours of ingame time
  • Light gets dimmer at lower charge
  • Convert vanilla Flashlight or Hand Torch into a fancy rechargeable version and wear it on your belt together with other items
  • Fancy Bag/Belt Slots can be enabled by right-clicking the equipped bag/belt/holster, the state is saved on the current character

  • Can't be dismantled/unpainted if favorited

Notes
  • Can be added/removed to/from existing saves
  • Low-poly model and super lightweight textures
  • Provides a framework to turn any flashlight into a Fancy item by adding the following into the item script: Fancy_ prefix to item script name and SWRechargeable tag

@somewhatfrog Thank you. :steamthumbsup:

@JENOVA Absolute when light source is attached the light cannot be seen by other players without a special mod (I don't remember the name). But if equipped in hands then all players will be able to see the light without any mods, this is vanilla behavior.

I remember when I played multiplayer while back, some modded light sources could only be seen by the person wearing them. Can other players see the light these lanterns give off?

how does it recharge?

@SDgamer shouldn't, at least not because of this mod

@Gothic Wizardry once this feature is part of the vanilla game I will look into adding it
Calamity 9 Jul @ 12:06pm 
would it be possible in the future to add a version that lets you place them lit up?
SDgamer 21 Jun @ 10:12pm 
someone made an B42 version of Better Belts. Will that conflict?

@Czezary nope

Can lanterns be placed on the ground to provide light?
