Let There Be Light (B41 IWBUMS)

b42?

mod is in location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2096940441\mods\LetThereBeLight\media\scripts\LetThereBeLight.txt for me.

If you want to change the values to less consumption change the useDelta = <somethingSmaller> then save the file.

I think maybe the torch on belt uses vanilla consumption and might be more.
Vanilla file for Torch is here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\scripts\items.txt
search for item Torch and maybe change to something smaller

@LogoNegro Glad to hear that! I'll still probably update the mod at some point to use LUA functionality rather than text scripts so that the changes are less destructive and can be used with other mods more easily, but great to hear it works for you.

@Memmorath Thanks for you answer. The mod doesn't need any update, something did the trick:

First: I disabled al the mods,both in the main menu and in the mutipiplayer. Then restarted and enabled all againa.
Second: I replaced the battery in the already existing lamps on pillars.

After that, it's working like a charm! Thank you again! I dindn't want to be changing batteries in my backyard daily :D

@LoboNegro you'll note that this mod was released in 2020, way before multiplayer arrived, and hasn't been updated since. So the likelyhood that this is incompatible with multiplayer is high, and as of right now, I have no plans to update this yet. (Probably when update 42 releases and I start playing again).

I'm a bit disoriented at this. It doesn't work, but i'm in the stable 0.41. I could find the IWBUMS option. Perhpas the mod isn't compatible with multiplayer?

@Vitrolic Wither You only need a text editor to edit this mod. Once the mod is downloaded to your computer you can edit your local copy to have whatever values you want. Your local copy is only updated if I update this mod -- which is very unlikely.

That said, if you change the use delta to plain 0, I think that should disable battery consumption, or just make it into something really low, like 0.000000000001

Also if I wanted just the lamp on pillar battery increase could I just edit your mod to only do that?

So if I wanted to edit some mod files do I need a certain program to do so? Some files I can open with a text editor and edit them but others open into a cool file viewer and can't be edited.

@MAB no, but you should probably use Better Flashlights mod anyway. It has more features and less destructive coding.

I don't think it says so in the mod description, but that mod does also increases the battery life of handheld vanilla flashlights. Not nearly as much as my mod, but still a considerable increase. The only thing it doesn't seem to modify is the Lamp on a Post building.
