Nightlight Improver

Description
It's kind of a running joke that the Nightlight item really isn't very useful - it's expensive to craft and less useful than a standard Fire Pit. This mod tweaks its functionality to give it some use.

With this mod, the Nightlight now provides light to a much larger area than a Fire Pit. Even with 1 Nightmare Fuel, it provides more light than a Fire Pit at maximum fuel, and when maxed out it lights up a massive area, allowing you to work even at night. It also no longer drains your sanity to be within its light radius.

It's still somewhat debatable if it's worth the investment, but there's probably a few interesting things you could do with it now.

I tested this fairly extensively but please post below if you find any bugs with it.

can you make a never-extinguishing campfire mod?

i think its OP it can be nerfed

Do you think its possible to make it to work indefinetly? Like if you want to light an area for a youtube video and having a few of these just looking awesome (and not wasting fuel)

Oh and I don't mind if you want to make your own version of the mod, particularly since this one was something I kind of threw together.

Yeah, you're right in that it's better for compatibility to just overwrite certain methods rather than the entire file, but I'm not an expert on Lua. I'll check out your mod later to see how you implemented it, but I can't promise I can get my mod to work that way. At least since this mod only touches one file the risk of a conflict with another mod is fairly low.

As for the lack of updates, I mostly just made this mod as an exercise. At current, the Nightlight is still kind of weak in DST, since Nightmare Fuel is so hard to get. I do like the idea of making the fuel more efficient, though I think the way I'd go about this is to have the light simply turn off and stop burning fuel except during the night, similar to the Pumpkin Lantern.

ok good and i thought you were long gone, because this mod wasn't updated once :)

I reviewed your code and i didn't like the way you are overwriting standard.lua files, because this will break sooner or later especially in heavily modded environments like on my server ^^.

Also i wanted nightlights to be able to carry more fuel and/or being more fuel efficient but on the other hand your mod does also reasonable improvements and, because i didn't expect you to answer here, i made a fork for my server and here is the result:

I hope you don't feel offended because i used the same pictures.

Maybe we should also merge those together now, what do you think?

Yes, I'm still here. I've tested it under the latest update and it still seems to be working fine, but please let me know if you've found any problems.
ChaosMind42 6 May, 2015 @ 4:40am 
are you still here supporting this mod?
TheDeadDude 1 May, 2015 @ 11:51am 
This doesn't sound overpowered even though i haven't tested it yet. Food for thought though, i have never EVER made one of this wasteful things.

Now for my first time, i will actually try to make one.
