Fancy Lanterns [B42 Compatible]

Description
This mod adds rechargeable and wearable light sources aka Fancy
It was made for Sunday Drivers[discord.gg] server to encourage players to be more active at night

20 Colors! Rechargeable! Attachable!
  1. Craft or find Grey Fancy Lantern in the world
  2. Get the Paint Bucket of your favorite color and paint it
  3. Attach it to your favorite bag or belt together with other items
  4. Run from sprinters in style
  5. ?????

Key Features
  • Each color matches 1 to 1 the colors in Paint Buckets (except new colors)
  • Recharge time and how much can be recharged can be adjusted in Sandbox Options. At full charge Fancy Lantern lasts about 10 hours of ingame time
  • Can't be dismantled/unpainted if favorited
  • Convert vanilla Flashlight or Hand Torch into a fancy rechargeable version and wear it on your belt together with other items
  • Lanterns can be attached to the strap of any bag as long as you have your belt equipped
  • Light gets dimmer at lower charge
  • Slots for belt can carry small tools like screwdriver or scissors
  • Slots can be disabled in Mod options
  • On/Off and Recharge Hotkeys (unset by default, prioritizes equipped fancy light sources)

Notes
  • Mod Options is required for B41
  • Can be added/removed to/from existing saves
  • Low-poly model and super lightweight textures
  • Provides a framework to turn any flashlight into a Fancy item by adding the following into the item script: Fancy_ prefix to item script name and SWRechargeable tag

how does it recharge?
somewhatfrog  [author] 9 Jul @ 2:27pm 
@SDgamer shouldn't, at least not because of this mod

@Gothic Wizardry once this feature is part of the vanilla game I will look into adding it
Gothic Wizardry 9 Jul @ 12:06pm 
would it be possible in the future to add a version that lets you place them lit up?
SDgamer 21 Jun @ 10:12pm 
someone made an B42 version of Better Belts. Will that conflict?
somewhatfrog  [author] 6 Jun @ 3:03am 
+ fixed context menu error
+ recharge hotkey prioritizes the fancy light source with lowest charge if none are equipped
+ recharge is possible at under 98% of max recharge sandbox setting
somewhatfrog  [author] 5 Jun @ 3:43pm 
Context menu option to recharge is borked atm, hotkeys work. Will be fixed next update, sorry for inconvenience
somewhatfrog  [author] 5 Jun @ 3:00pm 
+ hotkeys prioritize equipped items over attached
+ on/off hotkey works on all attached fancy light sources simultaneously if none are equipped
+ recharging hotkey iterates over all fancy light sources as long as they are under 90% of maxRecharge
somewhatfrog  [author] 5 Jun @ 7:28am 
+ added On/Off hotkey only for fancy light sources (unset by default)
+ added Recharge hotkey (unset by default)
+ fixed fancy light sources lasting for too long in B42, now they last as long as in B41 (8-10 ingame hours from full charge)
+ added Chili color
+ fixed translations for Lilac recipe

Can lanterns be placed on the ground to provide light?
