SilusCrow Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Ok, I can't be the only one that, when escaping the keep at the beginning of the game, saw a lantern lying on the ground and thought "oh sweet, light source!" only to find it was a random misc item worth less than it's weight. So yeah, I was hoping someone could make a working lantern mod which could hopefully be expanded to other lantern models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchTheShow Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I did the same thing as you when i first started. Torches are nice, but I really liked the lanterns :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highwind1985 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 haha I felt the same way when I found my first lantern. I didn't even realize torches were in the game until I accidentally plucked one off the wall. Since your eyes adjust to the darkness fairly quickly, I just assumed that was all the help you got aside from spells. But yeah, a use for the lanterns would be amazing; I can see it looking similar to the lantern in Amnesia: Dark Descent, with your hand holding the handle on top and it swaying back and forth as you move, causing the shadows to move erratically on the walls.

AuroraMoon Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I so agree with you guys. I would also like it for there to be different types of lanterns... from the cheap-looking one you see in game already to fancy glass ones like those ones: http://img.tradeindia.com/fp/thumb/0/153/007.jpg http://casadiseno.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/sunburst-glass-lanterns-pier-1imports.jpg I think the fancy ones would be pretty good to have for homes. that way instead of torches or those stupid horn candles, you would have those pretty lanterns hanging around the home and giving your home some lovely mood lighting.

punxdog Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 It's doable, add much like a weapon or a shield, could even use the meshes and textures with the game, follow the adding weapon tutorial. Obviously give it no damage :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sageasa5 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I would love to see working/lit lanterns and torches that you could place, or an activate script that toggles the placement of unlit models to lit models. That way you could light the torches, lanterns, braziers ect that are all over the dungeons. With all the "darker nights/dungeons, welcome to the mod so dark that it forgot to invite the players to the game" mods there are, this would be great.

JMMcNemo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Just as good would be being able to shut lights *off*, particularly if you're a sneaky-thief trying very hard not to be noticed. While the lighting braziers are one thing, the candles, seriously, should be a simple matter to blow out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
