About this mod

Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Welcome to my new mod, I used the weather, lighting and atmosphere systems to make the act 3 slightly darker with a calming night and industrial tone.





Main files and music files are fully safe and do not complicate things as Torch patch and npc or boss does so they are easy to Install and uninstall at any moment, so Only install one of each number 1,2,3 and 4.

Do not install torch patches in optional files they are due for removal, use the main torch patch.

New users you only need "Main - Darker Act 3 Night mode", "Main - Torch and NPC With Boss" and optional "Darker Act3 Music and Ambiance Addon" you can also install the "menu bits and torches" for the full experience.

Load Order : Put Any "1.Act 3 night mode" at the bottom of your Load order.

Troubleshooting (only applies to torch and npc patches):
(some of these applies only if you're already in Act 3)

I test these methods 100s of times as I load and reload the mod for testing on the same save file, I experienced the issues you might be experiencing here's how you can easily fix them without too much headache

Warning:
Make a manual save before installation of Torch patches.

Installing/Updating:
How to Update without bricking your save files ?

Go in a cave or instance that is not Rivington or Lower city.. Like under city or a cave or any house that initiates a loading. go in and save Then update or install, and then load that save, you're good to go.

Crashing to main menu: If your game didn't load into a save and crashed to main menu with error 300 etc Don't panic, easily exit the game and start it again, It can happen one time after installation or update specially if you're in active instances of Lower city or Rivington.

Your save files aren't corrupted
you crash because the Engine just crashed, so simply restarting the game fixes that error, engine cannot load into a save that lacks removed Items, so be in a place that is unaffected by the patch (dungeons or basements) before loading into saves, If you keep trying to load after getting engine crash error nothing happens, you just go back to main menu so exit and restart the game.

The Torch patch literally adds unlit torches, candles and lanterns then adds light source and smoke to them then adds them to Rivington and Lower city one by one by hand its absurd amount of work so if there are slight issue it's to be expected, will get improved and fixed with time, so have mercy I'm one person, it might look easy but trust me Its gets painfully hard, Its might look like one torch but I have to add its reflection and glare, intensity color etc yes I can select all and change them all but that won't look good because then all fires,lanterns or candles will look the same.

And
if you can replicate weeks of work with a bug or glitch please do so and leave me alone.

These bosses are end game they will kill you very easily if you're not prepared.

Alice Boss fight guide: Alice Attacks on sight and heals herself 6d10 while burning every turn unless she's bless by Ring of unholy bless.
(Alice is always burning) Killing Alice rewards you with handsome some of gold and xp and her staff.

the ring can be collected from miniboss Arthur ( Attacks on sight, mushroom infested Templar, next to broken windmill In rivinton), the ring can give up to 5 creatures an improved bless can be cast on enemies too,the creatures also become vulnerable to Radiant and Cold damage, which makes it possible for Alice to be killed.

Mini boss Vordt of Lower City (Attacks on sight, inside flymm cargo) drops "pontiff left eye" attackers to you receive damage and You gain a decent survivability passive.

Installation:
add it to your load order and save.

Also
I recommend Less Crowd Characters by magnetuning for emptier streets at night check the user screenshots.

Uninstallation:
remove from load order, then permanently delete and save, It will overwrite the game files even if its inactive in mod manager, SO remove it.


How to report a bug? If its actually a bug ,Give information, I need Location, Cords, few screenshot (upload in a third party site) from different angles and if existed logs, If you just crashed once without reading the green text.. that's not a bug that's the engine adjusting.

You need at least 8GB ram to use 2.0.0+ versions.



Showcase (version 1.2.0) :




This took way too long, I hope you enjoy.





Known issue and/or feature: some interior lights like toruches in dungeons might have less shimmer or glare and might look ever so slightly colorless, I'm trying to fix this but modkit crashes, when I try to.
