Soft Lamps

Description
Here it is. You ever go on the Artwork or Screenshots section and wonder how on earth people get their amazing lighting?
Its all this, the soft lamps tool. Created by Vioxtar and NeatNit, all credit goes to them, i'm simply the uploader.

This is the latest up to date version as of 1/4/2020 and will be continued to update if and when fixes come out.

Tutorials will be linked at a later date but here is the complex one by Vioxtar himself:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OQ5nK11qKaOCNBT66Jd8Njf8vOkCmZe8Eywmn7JT2z4/edit

and here are the BASIC instructions:

1. Spawn the soft lamp, the same way you would spawn a lamp
2. Hold C (or whatever button you assigned to the context menu), right-click the newly created Soft Lamp, and select Edit Properties. From here, experiment.
3. Console command for capturing a poster is poster_soft. It uses the same syntax as the normal poster command.

This addon seems to just have gotten broken altogether, commands makes the render broken with poster_darken 0, light sprayer time to time works, any fix for this?

I have issue with Light Sprayer tool, whenever I try to cast it and start render the light points, it just won't do it even if I disabled effect rings over and over

I'm not sure if this is true for everyone else, but the godrays seem to have broken. It looks like the godrays itself still works, but the final render that comes out becomes borked somehow? A bit odd.
