Description

Do you like Subway and Sewer missions? Yeah, me neither.

This mod adds a variety of lighting to Subway and Sewer maps (day, night, sunset, etc.) to spice up the atmosphere a bit.
With the new lighting, the maps will feel more like abandoned urban depots/industrial areas (or bombed/exposed tunnel sections).

This mod also adds some lighting maps for Daytime and Nightime Abandoned (Lost) missions as an alternative to the green-tinted foggy lighting.

The new lighting is chosen at random/based on day time (just like with normal missions) and does not remove the vanilla "underground" lighting and green-tinted Lost fog options.

Extra info: one of the lighting options (dark foggy night, name: XP_LE_Shell_AC_Lost) is disabled by default, as it has lower visibility compared to other presets. If you want to enable it, remove the semicolon from the config line in the XComMaps.ini file.

COMPATIBILITY:

Should be compatible with anything, including custom Subway/Sewer and Abandoned City maps.
Works with LWOTC as well (I play LWOTC myself).
Can be added or removed during campaign. It's best to do that in Avenger, when you're not running a tactical mission. Otherwise, your current level could become dark.

KNOWN ISSUES:

The light fixtures or flashlights might still stand out a bit during daylight gameplay.
Feel free to report any feedback/issues.

@Ray I already have something in the works :)

Really cool mod, do you have any other future plans for something like this? Maybe a mod similar to this that touches up on those extra 28 map plots from the tactical legacy pack or something to have some better lighting if that's not too much work to do.
