Glow Stick Mod (Preview)

Description
This mod adds throwable glow sticks to provide portable lighting in dark areas. Press Alt+F or D-Pad Up on a gamepadto throw a glow stick that will illuminate the surrounding area for 3 minutes before gradually fading and disappearing.

Features:
- Instant deployment via Alt+F hotkey or D-Pad Up on a gamepad
- 3-minute light duration with fade effect in the final minute
- Four color options: white (default), red, green, and blue
- Change colors using Alt+8 or LB + B on a gamepad (current color not displayed in UI)
- Unlimited simultaneous glow sticks in the world (Could be changed in the future)
- Should work properly in mid save and can be removed at any time

Development Notes:
Originally intended as a holdable item (like the bolt) mapped to the 8 key, this mod is released in its current state while that feature remains in development. Additionally, I cannot guarantee that I will complete that feature.

Known Issues:
- Critical Compatibility Warning : Modifies BP_Stalker2Character, causing conflicts with other mods that edit this file (including Crafting mod, Flashlight mods, and likely OXA). Currently, there isn't an easy fix for that.
- Glow sticks may occasionally clip through terrain textures
- Can be thrown during cutscenes
- Glow sticks persist through sleep cycles
- You may see the light slightly pass through the walls, but I guess that's how the light works in the game, and I can't do much about it

Changelog:
Version 0.1.1:
- Added gamepad support. D-Pad Up to throw the glow stick, LB + B to change color.

@Lamia. Yeah, I know about that issue. We are all waiting for a way to make the mods compatible. It's not only a problem with those two mods.

BTW, the mod is updated on Nexus. If anyone wants customizable keybinds, change the glow power and the throw force, here [www.nexusmods.com] it is.

Unfortunately, custom bindings magically stop working if I upload it to the Stem Workshop, so for now, Nexus is the only way

Hey! I noticed that this mod seems to conflict with the Craftable Zone Mod. When both are enabled, the debug menu or certain crafting interfaces won't open or work correctly. Just wanted to let you know in case you'd like to check compatibility. Thanks!

It doesn't conflict with vaulting or better ballistics

You read my damn mind! I was hoping for something like flares, and then I see this on the workshop!

@TERROR Yeah, I knew from the very beginning that there would be conflicts. For now, there isn't a straightforward way to solve this, as it would require merging the conflicting mods in some way or another. I believe we could solve this as a community with other mod makers, but hopefully, GSC will give us a way to avoid such incompatibilities. That would be a more permanent solution than duct-taping stuff.

Anyways, I hope this mod will add a bit of fun to the game even now, when you have to choose between mods.
