LE More Lights

[Dopeman]

I just reinstalled recently and have a few mods installed so far. And I've tried searching for a mod that does more lights. What I mean by that is, add lights (torches, candles, chandaleirs, firepits) to structures. Such as Castles, Watch Towers, Stone Bridges. Im on a new character and just east of Whiterun at a watchtower, that has a high bridge going over the river. And im on the high bridge looking back at the watchtower that has a torch on the inside and a open door/walkway to the bridge. And to me, it does not have the proper "GLOW" effect. And with my currently installed mods, im just not getting the effect im seeking. I've even gona as far as editing the Skyrim Prefs ini alittle to try and achieve this effect.

 

fSpecularLODStartFade=5000.0000 <-my defaults --- 2000.000

fShadowLODStartFade=300.0000 " --- 200.000

fLightLODStartFade=8000.0000 " --- 3500.000

 

In my opinion the effect of distant light inside buildings, especially watchtowers with their hollow windows and open doorways should have proper light placement and improved ambient glow. As to give a glow seen from a distance at night. So you would see the hollow windows of a watchtower or castle light up at night. And stone bridges would receive some love as well, especially the at this watchtower east of Whiterun. If you try those ini settings at night on the bridge of this watchtower. I want you to go all the way across and look back at the door/walkway that has a torch just inside. I want it to glow like hell.

Sadly, this may be impossible to make using shadow-casting lights. Skyrim's engine is only capable of rendering 4 dynamic shadow-casting lights at any given time per cell, and after that they're turned off automatically. Using non-shadow-casting lights, however, this could be done, assuming that Skyrim's engine is capable of actually handling multiple lights effectively. The light emitted by torches, for example, is a non-shadow casting light. Just be aware that if someone makes this mod, the added lights would not cast shadows.

Well, let me try to explain alittle more, as to the effect im after. Right now, in my game at the watchtower im talking about, when on the bridge and looking back to the open doorway that has a torch inside. It looks like a little LED light and I want it to look like a Flashlight to some extent. So when your wodnering around at night and come across a watchtower or castle. Its open doorways and hollow windows are glowing from a distance, by proper light placement and adjusted ambience to provide that kinda of glow effect.

 

Is this possible?

Think of it like this, being in a pitch black room with a doorway. And on the otherside of the doorway is a lit room. How will the doorway look, if you're in the pitch black room? That's the kind of glow im looking for. Edited April 28, 2012 by Dopeman

Well, after messing with these mods some, I've kinda got the look im going for. But the game world still lacks in proper light placement and proper light ambience, some lights (torches/firepits).. put off no light source at all. This needs to be fixed.
