Inside/Outside and Day/Night world lighting that's been finely tuned to reach the triple point of realism, gameplay balance, and horror survival immersion.

Everything is too bright.
This mod aims to correct that in a meaningful way by emphasizing realism, gameplay balance, and horror survival. I've tuned the inside and outside world lighting values for both day and night to provide a darker and more immersive experience, fit for a zombie apocalypse survival game.
Especially at night, illumination is now a gameplay element that must be considered when assessing risk.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Light levels are very low in some cases but should never be pitch black. If you're experiencing pitch black, you may need to calibrate your monitor. Use the gamma calibration on http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gamma_calibration.php and tune your monitors gamma to blend lines as close to 2.2 as possible (helps to blur your vision a little).
INSTALLATION:
Zip file contains a directory, 'World_Lighting_Tuned', that should be placed inside your mods folder.
This mod may be installed server-side only.
COMPATIBILITY:
This mod is incompatible with other mods that also modify config/worldglobal.xml.

- Daytime interiors and exteriors are slightly darker with moderately darker shadows
- Daytime interiors can be easily navigated even in rooms with zero illumination (although darker)
- Nighttime interiors and exteriors are moderately darker with moderately darker shadows
- Nighttime interiors cannot be easily navigated with zero illumination. Either personal, prop, or exterior illumination is needed to navigate at varying difficulties
- Daytime indoor/outdoor transition is seamless.
- Nighttime indoor/outdoor transition now correctly simulates dynamic exposure. The effect is very mild and if done well, should not be distracting.
- Adjustments are validated for consistency across all biomes and weather.
- Works well with night vision goggles
