Nepenthe's Hardened Headlights

Keeps your headlights functional, no matter how many zombies you drive into.

Set a minimum health level in sandbox options (50 by default) and your headlights will remain at that condition.

This mod only affects the car you're currently driving, and the condition updates happen every ten minutes - so if you do enough damage quickly enough you can still destroy your headlights, and you may see the light level dip after taking damage before being restored.

Mod is structured for B42 only.




The mod is called "Hardened Headlights" but it also affects tail lights, is that a bug?

No, it's me trying to think of a good name for the mod because the working title "Lux Aeterna" was far too pretentious for 1990s Kentucky and settling on "Hardened Headlights" at the very last moment.


Will this work in multiplayer?

I think so. Try it out when B42 multiplayer is released and let me know.


Is this compatible with <other mod>?

Almost certainly. A weird custom vehicle that doesn't use standard names for headlights might not benefit from it though.


Can I set he minimum condition to 100 so I always have perfect headlights?

Sure, but I find 50 is a nice balance of getting a noticeable benefit by swapping in fresh bulbs without being completely blind at night because they broke.


Can this mod be abused to magically heal dead light bulbs by swapping them in and driving around for 10 minutes?

Yes. I'm not going to stop you from doing that, mainly because it would be a lot of extra coding work with some weird fringe cases to make sure headlights were never healed above their initial damage level. Plus it's your game, do whatever you will enjoy the most.
