Darkvision

Description
I am on an indefinite hiatus from Project Zomboid. Feel free to use my code for future mods, and feel free to update my mods for B42. Please do not reuse their exact names or mod id's to avoid confusion and bugs for B41 players. I can only guarantee my mods worked when used alone before B42 dropped. I will no longer be retesting them when people have conflicts. Thanks for the support over the years.

See at night like you were born to do it!

This mod adds a new trait, Darkvision, which allows you to see much, much better in the dark by adding a light that follows you everywhere (but which is invisible to other players).

Details

The light will brighten rooms that already have lighting, so having darkvision may make a bright room a bit brighter than you want it to be. In order to accommodate this, I have added options for adjusting the indoor and outdoor brightness of your vision separately in an effort to help players avoid excess brightness while indoors in an automated way.

This mod requires Mod Options in order to adjust the indoor and outdoor brightness of your darkvision.

Mod Options also offers players a way to toggle Darkvision for characters who do not have the trait. Server admins must first enable this ability in sandbox options!

On the Visibility Cone

If Darkvision's brightness is high enough in your Mod Options and you are in a sufficiently bright area, you will no longer be able to see your character's vision cone (which could be a good or bad thing depending on your preferences). This most commonly occurs outdoors during the daytime; it never happens at night, and usually doesn't happen indoors, although I suppose it might if you were in a room with extraordinarily bright lighting.

For those of you who would like to preserve your vision cones during the daytime, please check Mod Options for relevant settings!

Note: The vision cone is the lighted area in front of and around your character that gives you visual feedback about what your character can see.

Like this mod? Feel free to check out my other stuff on the Project Zomboid Workshop:

Jumper: Teleport to countless locations with or without friends instantly.
Meditation: Sit, cross your legs, and meditate in order to hide, rest, and recover.
Dawn of the Zed: Selectively hide UI elements on gamepad or keyboard.
Interface Reflexes: Close windows that clutter your screen by aiming or using a shortcut key.
Mobile Reader: Keep walking or driving while you read books or open your map.
Trash Talker: Given a trait, you will talk trash when you kill zombies. Customizable lines. Talking draws zombies.
Position Breakdown: Show your location (in tile, chunk, or cell terms) in a simple, highly customizable overlay that can be toggled using Dawn of the Zed.
Legible Container Headers: Makes your inventory capacity easier to read under various resolutions and font sizes.
Legible Mods: Makes the windows for various hosting options larger so that longer names of mods and their locations can be read.

I haven't really come back to play B42 much yet and might not be back that soon, so I unfortunately can't give any realistic update estimations, but anyone who wants to try to port the mod is welcome to take a crack at it.

Looking forward to seeing this in B42, since it appears that the settings that would use Mod Options are now part of B42

Sick, that use case would have never occurred to me!

I use this mod together with the blind trait to fix the immersion breaking loss of "visibility" at night for blind characters (when it shouldn't affect how they percieve their surroundings at all). Thank you for this mod that allows me to do that !

Subscribed, reloaded, but can't find Darkvision anywhere in my mods :(. This is just the kind of mod i need to play this game, too, as I have visual difficulties :/. Any help?

Probably but that is beyond the scope of this mod. This is primarily a visual aid mod to help humans see on monitors that make PZ look black and unplayable at night. This is not meant to give players any special powers in the dark other than helping them see well.

Is possible to reduce debuff for foraging, when search in dark?

Recently helped upgrade True Music Jukebox with full support for multiplayer and improved menus. I'm thinking everyone who knows my mods will appreciate this one, so I decided it warrants a bit of comment spam. Hope y'all enjoy.

I will try to create a patch that makes this trait dynamic, thanks
