...Apparently, Niffe made one, but it doesn't seem to work. Do you think you could look at it and see what's wrong?

I don't know how to do that kind of thing lol

I think it'd be more convenient for both you and other modders if you could make a small patcher program that automatically makes all lights point-lights in a mod, a-la Spawnable Item Pack's Fetcher GUI.

Well, not EVERY ambient light source. But y'know. The objects we craft and place.

So, the way this works is by patching every single individual ambient light to be point-light instead.

You would have to do that for every mod. Which is why I don't. There's always going to be more mods that add lights.

Is there a way to make patches for other mods to work with this one?

You want one of the "Ore glow" mods. I have a couple variants in my workshop. :D

how can you see where is ore or a cave if you are mining? great looking, but bad for gameplay.

I hate clutter & like organization so I cleaned out my posts & summarized here for everyone.

- This lighting mod is such a vast improvement it should be universally used by all players. Supreme work.

Sir Greaves was kind enough to answer my questions and tell me the following...

- No Passthrough and Lighting Overhaul may appear very similar.
NP affects mostly ambient lights which dont cast shadows.

NP does not make lights cast shadows .
Light rays just dont passthrough to illuminate items behind.

- LO makes most lights now cast shadows.
So blocks in LO will cast shadows on blocks behind them looking alot like NP.

Together, underground with little ambient light, NP will have no impact, but non-shadow casting ambient lights during the day, NP will have its effect.

- Lastly, NP will not reduce the CPU demands of LO, since rays process regardless of how much, or how little they pass through other objects.

Since it (only?) affects ambient light, if you use both, No Passthrough will mostly only be visible on planet surfaces during daytime. Since the sunlight is ambient. Underground, where most lights you'll be using will cast shadows, No Passthrough is functionally useless.

But it can help with other ambient lights (that don't cast shadows) looking less strange.

Also- they are different screenshots, just the same area. If you look closely, No Passthrough has a more harsh falloff. More blocky, one could say.

in the No Passthrough screenshot, you can see the whole first tile in each area, no matter how dim the light is. (Look right in the small opening on the left.)

It's because the blocks are casting shadows behind them, you are correct. "No Passthrough" mostly affects lights that don't already cast shadows, but it also won't cause those lights to cast shadows. Less light will pass through blocks, but you'll still be able to see the walls behind them, basically.

NP won't help with the resources this mod takes- my rudimentary understanding is that each shadow-casting light casts "rays" out and doesn't illuminate beyond where the rays hit stuff.

Since the rays will still be cast, even with NP, it won't affect anything.

ok, thanks

Look for "No Passthrough" from my workshop, and use that in combination with this mod. That's about as close as you're gonna get, as far as I know.

hey, is there a way to make light not seep through blocks?

Nothing I can do about the performance, that's on the game and its engine. All I do is turn ambient lights into point lights.

Very good, but the perfomance decrease in some places is too painful to use it regularly, and I don't have a weak CPU (3700X) sometimes it dips to 30~ fps.

Nope- patching for other mods would require un-ending work, and I barely have the time to finish my own mods, nevermind compatibility patches.

Glad you like it though!

Is there a patch for corporate expansion or GiC?

Also, since I don't think I've ever said it, absolutely love this mod. I've used it on every playthrough for years, and the game feels wrong without it.

thnx

Client-side

is this mod client sided or is it server side?

I don't see any errors related to this mod. It doesn't apply to any modded content though, only vanilla lights.

not work for me :(
https://pastebin.com/WagJAiGc please chek my log file

Installed this on a whim, and honestly? This mod is adding SO much enjoyment to my gameplay. Absolute favourite. Kissing this mod sloppy style. Jumping down pits has never been so terrifying and I refuse to go back to fearlessness 10/10

este mod REDUZ o lag para mim, Obrigado muito feliz... \o/

just for the fact, the visibility system you've described was implemented in project zomboid. but the update rate and resolution is not that impressive and will not suite this game, for my opinion

Yeah, a line-of-sight system would be great. Way above my head though.

I just wish I couldent see through walls.

RTX, finally

i know, not a problem with copper wall lights, I'll be fine

I don't change any of the positioning, I just turn 'em into shadow-casting lights.

its nice, but the 2 block lights are kinda off considering we cant use the centre

Neat.

Amazing mod you don't know you need till you try it.

> how to uninstall? i unsubscribed but the mod still works in my game

That's all you have to do. (Make sure your game is closed before unsubscribing.)
Restart Steam, sometimes that helps.

how to uninstall? i unsubscribed but the mod still works in my game

interesting... never seen it before except with this one door (a hidden sliding stone door found in glitch castles)
all my other doors including sliding and hidden doors have proven fine
good to know the source though, thx!

The wired-doors-let-light-pass-through bug is present in vanilla and I'm not smart enough to do anything about it.

Hey I noticed for some reason when I'm by a door of mine that is wired the aura from my light augment shines through the closed door. Only when wired though.
I play with no player aura, and only have 1 other lighting mod which makes nighttime darker.
Others no problems with your mod and have been loving it!@

> Does it work on version 1.4.4?

Yes, though some things don't have lights I know how to edit. I still have to look into it.

Does it work on version 1.4.4?

> the last 2 images show the difference the best, 1st 2. not so much.

The first two are primarily to show how far vanilla lighting penetrates into solid tiles.

the last 2 images show the difference the best, 1st 2. not so much.

now i see the difference and it's massive!

i think i'm too stupid to see a difference.

What did you upgrade to?

I upgraded my computer, now I can finally play with his beauty of a mod! <3

A truly game changing mod for how stupid simple it is,amazing.
