Light Limit Patch

This is a patch for the shadowed light limit.
It allows you to have more than 8 shadowed lights in a scene.
Workshop icon by anonymousgamer.

It is recommended to install this patch from the Steam Workshop.
This patch may be updated occasionally.

For advanced (-nosteam) users only, choose an alternate installation method:

• Clone the GitHub repository[github.com] into your SourceFilmmaker/game/ directory and add the folder to your gameinfo.txt file.
  
• Download the script[github.com] as a raw *.py file and place it into SourceFilmmaker/game/usermod/scripts/sfm/mainmenu/KiwifruitDev/ (create the folders if they don't exist).

This patch must be applied each time SFM is started.

• Launch Source Filmmaker.
  
• At the top, click Scripts > KiwifruitDev > Light Limit Patch.
  
• When the dialog appears, enter the desired light limit.
  
• Please read the warning before clicking OK.
  
• A patch will be applied and your new limit will be active.

Using high -sfm_shadowmapres values such as 8192 can cause SFM to crash with a high amount of lights.
This can be mitigated by using a lower value when increasing the light limit.

The patch may use an excessive amount of video memory (VRAM) depending on hardware configuration.
This may contribute to your -sfm_shadowmapres value to shadowed light limit ratio.

Testing is very limited, so if you encounter any issues, please report them on the issues page[github.com].
