Currently working on renaming, grouping, and hiding some nearly 500 lights on my ship by rooms, stairwells, and corridors. This mod is the only way I'm able to do this. All it needs is the Inset Wall Lights back (though the tried and true solution of a grinder still works).

Thank you so much, Great Idea, great Work!

Kind regards

I'm stupid, if I had used this tool earlier I would have saved hours of my life Xd

Thank you for this!

It is definitely Better Vanilla lights. It seems the modpacks just load up in whatever order they want.

I tried placing Interactable lights higher in the mod packs but idk exactly how those would load.

@Rooster, Depending on your load order, "Better vanilla Lights" would definitely be conflicting with it.

I've got some lights working and some not for whatever reason.

I've got these mods going:

Updated some of the missing ones from contact. Only two blocks are missing, Willis Duct Light and Inset Wall Light.

@Rooster Can confirm it is working. However, I have not yet updated to include some of the newer/updated models. A few of the newer lights aren't working right this moment (like Floodlights) but I'm working on finishing them up.

If you're not getting any highlights, try pushing it higher in the mod loader, or resubscribe to have it redownload.

This mod isn't working for me since Contact

awesome mod

@737✈Garrus The order you load them matters. If you want this one to work instead of the other, you can always move it higher in your mod list.

It collides with a mod, and I run so many mods that finding the culprit would take eons.

First of two updates for 1.204 comparability is live. The base game lights all had their maximum radius increased to 20m (from various values). This now matches.

I'll include an update shortly which adds interactive functions to the Signal DLC blocks.

This is awesome! I am one of those geeks who likes to set up proper aircraft running lights, and vehicle lights (using Sunoko's Vehicle Light Control script.) This saves me SO much time and effort!

Nice and workable lighst.

It's the most annoying thing while building a ship is adjusting the lights. Keen must add this to vanilla!!!

nice mod can we have this in vanilla

amazing mod, really nice for setting specific lights in rooms easily and unlike some other mods that add a panel to lights that sometimes don't make sense to have panels, nice stand alone quality of life mod.

A great idea, thanks for a) thinking of it and b) creating a mod to help reduce the madness. It's a really handy mod IMO which will help improve builds by allowing that instant access to change the lighting. Cheers mate.

@WaveHolder naw leave it as a mod. It wouldnt hold in line with everything else theyve done with the game so far

Once again a feature that should´ve been vanilla years ago :D

@MTard Do you have any other mods on? Try moving it higher in the list or in a test world with just this on. Sounds like maybe some kind of conflict? I just tested it and it appears to be working fine. If it's still not working on a standalone world, maybe try unsubscribing and resubscribing to try and force a new download. Let me know!

Glitches out my small light blocks. No graphics once placed, cant grind/build, but placing blocks on its emplacement is prevent by its mere existence.

@Valikai

Pure joy here. Nice mod.

Any chance you could add this to mod.io for console users?

:) Another one clone.

@Rastlore30 @YOYOMAN_MODDER @SMooreAce you don't have to install this mod then? chill out! some people simply don't want to use build vision or find this way easier! it's not like it's an official update or something, it's an optional addon. lol. lmao, even.

Down right amazing work, the time and effort put into this shows. Very well put together, Also there is no reason to have a control broad on every block. Seems out of place

But.. Build vision/Build info do this...

Glad people are enjoying it, I made this mostly for myself and my server.

@shumbalion That's a great idea! Haha. Maybe a future project.

@Rastlore30 That's fine - they can both exist. Play however you like to play.

What does this mod do over Build Vision? I rather enjoy being able to have a "terminal" on every single block that has an option to be fiddled with by just looking at it and pressing Ctrl + Mouse Wheel up or down. Large and Small grid....every... block... Just at a loss as to how this mod is an improvement. Please tell me it does something more... like eat less resources or has the ability to save custom settings by groupings so you can change the colors of the lights by pressing a button or with the Event Controller without the need for a script.

rotors and hinges when? 200 times over in small grid.. and small grid pistons! we need this lol

Props

I know that interactable lights already exist, but that mod hasn't been updated for the newly added lights from DLCs

Thank you! It's hard to search some lamp in control panel, where you have a hundreds lamps, so this mod is really need!

WHY ISNT THIS IN THE BASE GAME???!!!!

My apologies. I was only looking at the light part.
I should have watched the instructional video from the beginning.
Thanks.

Kinda pointless when Digi and build vision are on every save worth playing on.

@Harukonea I absolutely adore Digi's terminals. The reason I made this was because I wanted the same type of control over all the block sets. If you don't have the DLC you can still sub and use the mod, you just can't use the block you haven't purchased.

The searchlight and rotating light have access on the bases, the animated portions don't support highlights, so I had to add a little piece to them to make it function. I verified that highlight is in the mod and functioning.

Have fun!

Hi Valikai
Thanks for the great mods, the Digi ones are even better with no DLC.
SerchLight also seems to have been updated, but there is no access point. Has something changed?
Thanks.

i wish this was vanilla
