TehRiddles Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I was wondering if it would be possible to create an oil lantern you can carry around that produces varying degrees of light. For example, you get 2 items (The lantern itself and a jar of oil) which you assign to hotkeys. Pressing the lantern hotkey brings out the lantern at its lowest level of light. This means you get a slight increase in light without alerting any enemies. Pressing the hotkey again puts the lantern away. If however you press the oil hotkey the light gets a bit brighter, letting you increase the light level should you need some more. To decrease the light level you just press the lantern key again to decrease and finally put away the lantern. I feel that having this sort of control over light sources would be useful for people who like to explore dark caves/ruins and generally for the thief players who aren't too keen on nighteye/detect life for whatever reasons (dislike the look or want to avoid magic for their character) Possibly you would have to continually add oil to the lamp every now and then or the level of light would decrease and eventually go out. Perhaps the oil jar would need to be refilled after a while (best being optional though) Overall I think it is something that a few people would like to see as it is something that helps support classes besides the typical sword wielding, heavy armour wearing, fireball throwing warrior that many mods are geared to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracula420 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 i second this idea. i would use it all the time. maybe after a while you run out of oil and have to buy more. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reaper9111 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I don't promise anything, but i like the idea... enough to give it a try with already existent meshes (model) for the lamp... By "degree of light", you mean the Area of light, right ? exemple: low would be like 15 foot around player, medium 30, large 60, ... it that what you meant ?Please you the Private message to reply to me, as i rarely come here to answer people...you where lucky this time, i was in my "let's reply to people session"...if you don't reply in a medium amouth of time, i will concider that you abandonned the request, and so might not make this request...

reaper9111 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 For the few of you who followed this tread without replying... the mod has been created, and is on the way out... keep you eye open !The lamp will have 5 level of brightness:-Low 75-100 foot around the player (it is not a lot in the game) perfect for seeing right in front of your nose...lol-Med 250 foot-High 500 foot-Very High 750 witch equal to a regular torch...-and Off mode.
