Increasing flashlight brightness?

[Neviothr 102]

Is there a way to do this? If so, how?

 

Thanks.

Do you mean for the default flashlights, or for new flashlights you're adding to the game?

 

If its the former its a slightly more complicated process involving replacement configs, but the latter is fairly easy.

 

The important coding is part of the ItemInfo for the flashlight object:

		class ItemInfo: InventoryFlashLightItem_Base_F
		{
			mass = 5.72; // weight of the object
			class FlashLight
			{
				color[] = {7000,7500,10000}; // colour of the light
				ambient[] = {6,9,9}; // I can't remember
				intensity = 2.5; // brightness intensity
				size = 1;
				innerAngle = 20;
				outerAngle = 80;
				coneFadeCoef = 10;
				position = "flash dir";
				direction = "flash";
				useFlare = 1;
				flareSize = 1.5;
				flareMaxDistance = "600.0f";
				dayLight = 1;
				class Attenuation
				{
					start = 0.5;
					constant = 0;
					linear = 0;
					quadratic = 1;
					hardLimitStart = 200;
					hardLimitEnd = 300;
				};
				scale[] = {0};
			};

Also keep in mind the above values are already edited from default and ARE brighter by comparison.

Alright. Thank you very much!

How would I do this for the search light on the C_Heli_Light_01_civil_F or the new BTT Ceasar?

 

Thanks

exactly the same way. look for class Reflectors in the heli config. Same content.

For a good example of brighter flashlights check out the Surefire ones in Robert Hammers accessory pack

That's where the values I posted came from as I knew he'd already brightened them :). I hope he doesn't mind, but I'm fairly sure he's posted about this topic in his own release thread.

Once I find the relfectors config, how do I implement it into the game, so I can change the values to get the affect i want? It would need to affect all spawned aircraft int the game.

 

Thanks for the help.
