I am currently drooling over this... I haven't had a good lighting mod in my game for a while now, and I'm itching to try this out!  :toothy8:

Thanks for sharing with us!  I'll let you know if I come across anything.  Wink

This is great, but I can't use it.  :angry7:

I looked at the start up cheat.

I have to make my shaders false. If I don't, I get that blue screen.

Drat!

You can run the mod with the shaders on false. Things that change is pool ripples  and reflection will be missing. Fish will be invisible if you have Seasons, bumpmapping will not work and certain lights will be slightly darker. Although it will enable specular highlights that does not work with shaders true.

In your startup cheat, there's a line called, bumpMapping true.

Will that cause a conflict if I'm using shaders false?

Since I had to turn my shaders false, I've avoided putting anything with fish in my game. None of my houses have aquariums.

There will be no conflict between the two as bumpmapping requires shaders to be true before it can even work.

Before I try this, I would appreciate hearing some comments from those who are using it. I haven't used Mods like this one before and am unsure of it at his point in time. Please do share if you're using it! Very nice concept, by the way. I don't care for the lighting that I have right now.

If I read everything right at MTS2, this is nothing more than an upgrade from the previous versions.

So do we need to replace all light files with the ones for every expansion pack we have from the download, or only the one we're currently playing? Sorry I've never dled a light mod before. Smiley
