Lad's Lighting Overhaul

Hello everyone! This mod is introducing some lighting changes that reflect for both day and night, as well as overcast.
This aims to give a more cinematic feeling to the game. This mod comes with 9 separate configs that you will have to configure on your server. These changes purely affect the brightness of the night for OVERCAST ONLY. 4 of these will add the film grain filter to help combat against Gamma.
Clear nights will remain the same regardless of which config you go for.

This mod also reintroduces a long lost lighting setting that was present during the Beta build of DayZ. After many requests, I have decided to reimplement it. (With some minor changes to noise levels to make it playable).

The mod also makes changes to the HDR settings, making your eyes take longer to adjust as well as adjusting the lighting overall.
Further to this, interiors and forests appear darker during the day when you are outside, but your eyes adjust as you enter them, making them brighter.

Experimental Version can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3012019528

I await your feedback and I am looking forward to hearing from you all!

If you use Lighting config setting 4 with Banov, it will turn everything pitch black. This is due to Banov and this mod using the same number for a config. As a workaround, use a Livonia config.
If you use Deer Isle, there will be a conflict with the Personal Light. I recommend you switch off the personal light for the best result.
Night Vision will be affected by Namalsk, and will be darker.
