Hope it helps anyone!

@Narlindir: Not completely. Vanilla shows a light radius when placing or selecting a light source, but doesn't state what % this is. It seems to not be 50%.

This mod displays a light radius not just when placing or selecting it, but also when placing any other kind of light source, and allows picking if you want 50% light or any light, or both.

In short, this mod is a lot more convenient than the vanilla implementation, and I hope it gets revived at some point.

isnt this vanilla now?

TD Enhancement Pack does something very similar

Kinda wondering how this would work with lights that already have a radius - such as Owlchemist's Ceiling Mod. These ceiling mounted lights it adds already have a radius, but given that vanilla lighting does not, the mismatch kinda irritates me, so this mod would be a good addition.

But yeah, would there be an issue?

Would love a third radius for 50% light. I know 30% is "good enough" but I personally hate seeing dark corners and edges even if the pawns don't mind lol

(please let me edit comments some day steam)

@Draconis
I was concerned and had a look at the source. The only stuff that affects the game while running are here.
https://github.com/Syrchalis/LightRadius/blob/master/Source/SYR_LightRadius/HarmonyPatches.cs

The second harmony patch only affects when you are placing things blueprints for stuff so it should be relevant. The first runs when anything calls DrawExtraSelectionOverlays. I don't know if this always runs on any selected object, but even if so it immediately is doing some very low cost null checks then a low cost check to see if the thing has a light emitting component before it does any other work.

If you are not placing any blueprints and don't have anything selected there should be 0 performance impact, and from my reading of the code the impact otherwise should be very minor. It honestly doesn't seem like this mod would be a problem to me. Maybe you can experiment a bit more with this knowledge, see if it indeed slows down only when a bunch of things are selected?

Was noticing mid to late game I was getting pretty big slowdowns especially during raids, optimized everything and shucked a bunch of mods. Removed this and my ticks per second skyrocketed, not sure what the conflict is or if it just bogs down with lots of base lights? Loved the look of this but dang I was running at like 10-17 ticks and its back to 40+ even in late game with the new runtime optimizer.

Noice, thank you Syrchalis :)

Updated to 1.3.

GREATTTTTTTTT

update to 1,3 ?

@Zhuria thank you for the feedback.

I've been using this in 1.3 since release with no noticeable problems :)

1.3?

1.3?

Hi. I dont know if its asked before. but how does it work with Mining co mining helmet mod? Thanks.

@SkeleMAnn, are you referring to the light being given off when it is equipped? Isn't a flashlight supposed to do that?

Would you mind sharing what mod provides the colored light overlay?

Ahh so it's not that it causes a conflict.

It doesn't matter, to see a light radius for wall lights you need to go into that mod's options and turn it on there, I don't support the mod anymore.

Hmmm So since your mod works with the vanilla lights and lots of other lights, should I load your mod after wall light then?

I'm not supporting Wall Light any longer because it has a light radius option for itself now and it's quite a hassle to make my mod work for it.

Yeah！

Awesome! thank you very much my friend ;)

Updated to 1.1.

An update for 1.1 would be much appreciated if possible ;)

ah i see, my bad, i thought you had to press a key to get it to appear
like the ctrl key,,, similiar to mmmm..... i think the range finder mod (shrugs) i forget

Probably need to activate the radii in the settings.

how do i get this to work?
the only range view i get is from the sunlamps

Nevermind, I realized that it has to be manually enabled in the options. Might wanna add that to the mod description! Great mod otherwise.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be working on Linux. :( I even started a new game with just core, hugslib, and this mod. No radius.

I wished for something like this just the other day! Thank you.

Thanks for your help, Syrchalis :)

As a test I renamed the setting, so maybe it just stops trying to reference an assembly that isn't included anymore.

Alright, so the reason I couldn't fix this quickly is, the issue is actually not really related to my mod. It referenced a hugslib setting field from WallLight which it now can't get anymore because it doesn't have the reference anymore.

To fix it, all you need to do is delete the config of this mod.
\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios
There should be a folder config and inside are mod configs. Find either "Mod_SYR_LightRadius_LightRadiusCore.xml" if you use the non-steam version or "Mod_1520756475_LightRadiusCore.xml" in case of steam and just delete that xml file.

Update: Removing this mod doesn't seem to have fixed things; I'm now getting a completely different error with the cooking bill. :(

Removing this HAS fixed the problem with building designations though.

This is the whole debug log, in case you need that: {LINK REMOVED}https://git.io/fxUDe

No idea why it's causing a problem with cooking; doesn't seem to make sense.

Hi. I'm having the same problem as Sny_Vs_Spyper but I've also found that for soem bizarre reason it's causing an error related to my cooks, of all things.

For me whenever i use this mod it disables all construction previews

"This mod automatically supports basically any mod, because it dynamically generates the display radii. There is a special case for wall light which works differently, but it's also supported."

Please read the description before asking a question.

Is this compatible with modded light sources like the wall lights mod?

Hey uhhh I might just want to integrate this into my Lighting Overlay in the Enhancement Pack
