Small lazy demonstration


Main:
  • Create lights of different types
  • Manage created lights via dropdown
  • Replace selected light with a new one
  • Rename selected light
  • Delete selected light or all lights
  • Duplicate selected light with the same parameters
  • Light color picker 
  • Light temperature
  • Light power (intensity). You can make sort of a negative fill by decreasing it
  • Light distance
Different control modes:
  • World relative
  • Character relative
  • Camera relative (almost)
  • Stick light to camera
Better photo mode:
  • Control camera speed
  • Better DoF sliders
  • Unlocks max camera distance and max distance above the floor (console version: link)
  • Also a separate mod that increases character positioning sliders from 100% to 1500% (found a way to make it in the main mod (in 1.2.2))
Atmosphere and lighting controls:
  • Switch between different atmosphere and lighting presets. Applies to all levels at once
  • Install level triggers and light probes to make it work
  • Control sun/moon color, clouds, fog, shadows and more. Some LTNs require changing scattering sun color to change the sun color
  • Far plane decreases render distance to gain some fps (mostly for hotsampling, rendering IGCS DoF) (in 1.2.2)
  • Add to favorites
  • Reset buttons
Gobo masks:
  • You can create gobo mask for selected light. One light can only have one mask
Origin point:
  • Create an origin point to move lights with character relative sliders relative to origin point position instead of character one. You need to create an origin point first in the tab, then enable the checkbox. Use it in photo mode if you move a character with the xyz sliders or in some cutscenes
Particles:

Utilities:
  • Toggle visibility of selected light or all lights
  • Save and load the position of the selected light without overwriting other lights' saved positions. The position can only be loaded for the originally selected light (If you create light 1, move it, save the position, move it, then create light 2, move it, save it, move it, then select light 1, load the position, it will load light 1 saved position, then if you select light 2 and load the position, it will load light 2 saved position)
  • Disable VFX blur and camera shake
  • Use client-side character position instead of server-side one. Use it if an animation moves a character
CharacterLightSetup Disintegrator:
  • A mod that disables fake lights ("ambient" lights) around characters in the open world, photo mode and cutscenes (cutscenes still have some own lights)
Additional info:
  • You can only create 20 lights of each type (20 Points, 20 Directional 5s, 20 Directional 10s and so on)
  • Make a backup save before installing the mod
  • Make a backup save before creating lights, disabling this mod with lights in the world will make the save unloadable
  • All the trigger and light probes stuff is wonky, disabling it will make the save unloadable
  • Make backup saves
  • Backup saves
  • Saves
  • Some crowd NPCs still have some lights around them, don't know how to remove it yet

Known bugs:
  • AnL doesn't apply to Act 1 main map. You have to use Easy Cheat and tp to a level (for example if you are at the village, you need to tp to WLD_Forest_G and go to the village from there)
TBD:
  • Character relative light positioning in cutscenes
  • Fix AnL for Act 1 level
  • Gobo rotation
  • Create particle effects
  • More gobo masks
  • Backgrounds integration
  • Undo/redo
  • Scene saver
  • Absolute value sliders
