[WIP] In Lucy's Eyes - Full Conversion Mod

[Streetboat]

The reason the matches run out fast and have small radius is firstly because it's realistic and and secondly because we wanted to add something different to the mod instead of the usual lantern as I'm sure alot of people are tired of it and want something new

There will be no tinderboxes and this will make the player think twice before using the matches and only when they really need it which will add new feeling to the gameplay as most of the CSs and FCs today don't really make you care about saving oil/tinderboxes. Therefore we will make the lighting in maps where you will need the matches dark (maybe even remove the night vision if possible) and even the small light radius and a short life span of 1 match (we will make the point light of the match flicker/glow and the life span of the match will be random from 9 to about 13 seconds) will make a big difference with some of the objectives.

that's not what i was criticizing though. I get that it's realistic that matches run out quickly, but the light radius is so very small that it's actually easier to just never use them and navigate entirely using the night vision. My suggestion would be to change the night vision so it either takes a long time to take full effect, or make the radius of the night vision (before it fades out to complete darkness) be very small, or make it darker overall.

also, matches light up more than you might think. in a completely dark room, a match could light up the entire place (in, say, a modern bedroom with drywall), albeit very dimly. My suggestion is to have the initial pointlight be the same radius the match has now, and add another pointlight in the model editor with very low levels and tinted brown, but a large radius. This would simulate the light fading as it goes further out, but still illuminating everything ever so slightly, so you aren't just walking into a wall of blackness.
