Thanks for this I usually have to up my brightness which kind of ruins the feel of the game but this makes it so the maps can be dark and I can see too.

@Neuwey331

You're both in luck!

@ᴹⁱᶜʰᵃᵉˡ

Only works in local servers or singleplayer.

ᵴᴛʀʌʏ ᴘзᴅᵴ 25 Dec, 2024 @ 9:31pm 
this works with online custom servers? yes?

@LuckyRoot

That's an amazing idea! I would love to use custom flashlights while the increase in size stays.

@Pwnage Peanut
Thank you, and sorry for the late reply.
I ended up not using your script and just made my custom flashlight mods texture-only for online compatibility.
But I would still love for ppl to use them with your script.
Would you be interested in releasing a script-only version of this, so I can recommend it to ppl with my flashlights? If not, may I release it instead while fully crediting you?
Doc903 20 Oct, 2024 @ 4:34pm 
So, is there anyone you could make a "flickering" flashlight, for like a horror aesthetic?
Pwnage Peanut  [author] 5 Oct, 2024 @ 5:53pm 
@LuckyRoot

Sure, I don't mind
LuckyRoot 5 Oct, 2024 @ 8:10am 
Hi. May I ask for your permission to use your script for a custom flashlight mod?
With full credits to you of course.

something i would like to see are lighter tweaks to some of the weapons to make them on par with their counter parts, increase the damage and penetration of the pump and auto shotguns, make the uzi do lsightly more damage and slightly more accurate, the for the scout and awp, simply remove them :D. jokes aside, i would like this since the current "better weapon" dramttically shift the balance of the game and i would prefer smaller tweaks. but i think the current buffs to grenade launcher and m60 are awesome and make me actually want to pick them up
Blaze 26 Sep, 2024 @ 12:37am 
Wont work for whatever reason
LuckyRoot 13 Sep, 2024 @ 8:04pm 
This really does feel warmer and easier on the eyes.:flamey_happy:
Thank you for this. I had just been experiencing eye strains from trying different flashlight mods before this. LED, stronger, and all that. I can finally end the search for a good flashlight mod with this one.:gearthumbsup:

@RogerDatSoldier

Since this changes the texture, no.
RogerDatSoldier 5 Sep, 2024 @ 8:27am 
Will this still work with flashlight reskins?
Pwnage Peanut  [author] 3 Aug, 2024 @ 12:17am 
Has to be done at the menu.
RoséSquid94 2 Aug, 2024 @ 11:51pm 
Like, does the host need to use sv_consistency 0 upon starting a campaign, or can it be done at the Menu?
mihakouu 2 Aug, 2024 @ 8:00pm 
非常好,比起一般的强光手电筒好太多了:steamhappy:
Pwnage Peanut  [author] 2 Aug, 2024 @ 2:12pm 
Do you have sv_consistency set to 0? Sometimes that helps
RoséSquid94 1 Aug, 2024 @ 11:36am 
I only have the Better Flashlight mod, but idk if some map mods are conflicting with the mod, which they shouldn't be, unless I'm missing something
Pwnage Peanut  [author] 1 Aug, 2024 @ 11:29am 
Yes, but only if you're the host of a local server.
Ajiliffe 1 Aug, 2024 @ 10:46am 
does this work online, sorry to ask this dumb question, just lazy to check
Pwnage Peanut  [author] 30 Jul, 2024 @ 4:54pm 
Do you happen to have a custom flashlight addon installed? If so, you need to disable it since Better Flashlight has its own custom texture.
RoséSquid94 30 Jul, 2024 @ 4:50pm 
Unless there's a conflicting add-on that's preventing the Better Flashlight mod from working in a Local Server, I even had it enabled at one point when we played together when one of them hosted, and I still had a Vanilla Flashlight. Not guaranteeing that an add-on I have downloaded is conflicting with the Better Flashlight mod, but I'll try updating on the issue.
Pwnage Peanut  [author] 30 Jul, 2024 @ 4:44pm 
If that's the case, then both host and other users need to have it installed.
RoséSquid94 30 Jul, 2024 @ 4:23pm 
We tried running it with only one of us having the mod enabled and the rest having it disabled, but from my end I didn't notice a difference with having the mod disabled while the host had it enabled.
Pwnage Peanut  [author] 30 Jul, 2024 @ 2:36pm 
@Bubblysugar maybe it has to do with your graphic settings, based on the info I've gathered from the comments the most common denominator with all the complaints brought up is that all of them are on low spec settings.
Pwnage Peanut  [author] 29 Jul, 2024 @ 8:00pm 
The host is the one that must have the addon installed if you want others to have the Better Flashlight, otherwise you will only see the Vanilla Flashlight if you are a non-host even if you have it installed.
RoséSquid94 29 Jul, 2024 @ 7:56pm 
So basically the host must be the only one to have the addon enabled for the clients to use, if that's what I'm guessing?
Pwnage Peanut  [author] 29 Jul, 2024 @ 3:07pm 
Only the host requires it so that everyone can have it.
RoséSquid94 29 Jul, 2024 @ 2:54pm 
Let's say hypothetically that myself and my 2 partners have this addon installed when playing on a Local Server, I only have the Vanilla flashlight. Is only the host required to have the addon for everybody to have the better flashlight, or does the host and client(s) need to have the mod installed? Just curious
smuggy 29 Jul, 2024 @ 6:09am 
i think it was on crash course
Pwnage Peanut  [author] 28 Jul, 2024 @ 11:20am 
The scripts are what make the Better Flashlight addon possible.

Without them, there's no way to make the flashlight bigger and brighter.
Crishan 28 Jul, 2024 @ 7:54am 
Quita los scripts para q funcione en dedicado más porfa o haz otra versión sin scripts para q funcione en dedicado más plis :(
Crishan 28 Jul, 2024 @ 7:52am 
Does it work for local and dedicated servers?
Rezz-Kujo 28 Jul, 2024 @ 7:15am 
perfect :steamthumbsup:
Bubblysugar 28 Jul, 2024 @ 1:59am 
Is it just me or why when i turn my flashlight on do i see this annoying white light in the middle of my screen go up and down, tf did i do to my game, any fixes?
Pwnage Peanut  [author] 27 Jul, 2024 @ 2:21am 
Nope.
The † Faith † 26 Jul, 2024 @ 11:34pm 
does this work with different flashlights?
Pwnage Peanut  [author] 26 Jul, 2024 @ 11:30am 
I'll probably make and link the collection when everything is done
Ely 26 Jul, 2024 @ 6:07am 
will you ever make a version that include all of your "better items and weapons" iscripts nto one of two mods
StalderS 25 Jul, 2024 @ 6:17pm
