Description

Adds a flashlight to the game, similar to Documn's version. Unlike the Pip-Boy light, this flashlight is directional and only illuminates what you're looking at. It also reaches much farther than the Pip-Boy light.

The flashlight is a physical item in the game—you must find one before you can use it.

• Flashlight (Misc. Item) New
• Tactical Harness New

Configurable Options

Color Change the color of the light between Cool, Warm, and Neutral.

Quality Selecting lower quality settings will improve performance at the cost of visual experience.
Dynamic Quality Selecting this will allow you to define different interior and exterior quality settings.

Intensity Change the attenuation range between Near and Far.
Dynamic Intensity Selecting this lets you set different intensity levels for indoor and outdoor areas.

Battery Usage Enabling this switches the flashlight to an FPS-style battery system. The battery slowly drains while the flashlight is on, and recharges when it's turned off.
Battery Icon Position and Origin Allows you to set the battery icon displayed on the screen.
New iHUD Controls Allows iHUD to force hide/show the battery icon – only works if iHUD is installed.

Toggle Button Allows you to change the hotkey for the flashlight. Default J. Also can change to override PipBoy light hotkey. If you keep it on a custom hotkey, press-and-hold action will toggle between near and far attenuation, this is not applicable with the PipLight override settings.

New Use Decals Enables/Disables light decals on headbands, helmets, and belts/harnesses. Disabling this option prevents conflicts with other mods that use misc armor equipment.

Enable Flashlight on Current Helmet Allows you to add a flashlight to your currently equipped helmet. Selecting this will prompt you to choose your helmet variant so that it receives a matching light decal. As of version 1.22, you can also select the no-decal option.
