[oSB] Light Limiter

Description
OpenStarbound's optional new lighting is beautiful, but sometimes it makes lights unrealistically bright (a measly flashlight should not be able to overpower the sun on a clear day)

This mod limits how bright a light can get in oSB's new lighting system, bringing it closer to vanilla in terms of brightness while still mostly keeping the beauty of additive lighting, though it reduces the nice bloom effect around light sources. It's sort of a compromise between vanilla and new lighting. Which option you prefer is up to you.

How does it work?
OpenStarbound provides a convenient access to a variable called "brightnessLimit" through the file "lighting.config", and its value is set to 1.4 by default. This mod simply changes it to 0.8. Look at the screenshots to see the difference.

Sadly not
If you want to change the value, you'll have to unpack the mod and modify it yourself

So this is why the Santa NPC at the outpost always has a weirdly bright face.

Thank you for this. My character was basically glowing bright white under the ship lights, it was a bit much.

This mod fixes the problems oSB lighting had with Tanz Lighting Overhaul :steamhappy:

And just like that, my one hangup about oSB no longer exists.
