About this mod Author’s original text

BetterLanternsAndLights

Adds lantern and island street light improvements.

Features

  • Lanterns, stoves, smokers, market stove stalls, candles in buildings, braziers, and island street lights flicker in the light they produce as if they have a flame inside of them.
  • Lights and lanters that are covered with a shade also visually flicker as if they have a flame in them.
  • Wind affects the flicker speed for lanterns, stoves, and smokers. Wind does not affect the flicker speed if the item is considered inside.
  • Lights added to the gate to Dragon Cliffs.
  • The ability to deactivate ambient player light.
  • The ability to activate a lantern when it is in the players inventory.
  • All of the above features can be enabled/disabled from the BepInEx configuration manager in game without the need to restart. If the lantern/street light flicker is disabled while the light is currently flickering, turn off the lantern/wait for the street light to turn off and it will not flicker again until re-enabled.

Installation

If updating, remove BetterLanternsAndLights folders and/or BetterLanternsAndLights.dll files from previous installations.

Extract the downloaded zip. Inside the extracted BetterLanternsAndLights-\ folder copy the BetterLanternsAndLights folder and paste it into the Sailwind/BepInEx/Plugins folder.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
