[Flashlight Buttons] Battery drain

Description
An addon to Flashlight buttons that enables the newly added battery drain system and adds a method for replacing the spent battery.

The flashlights will start to dim & flicker when they get close to running out


Current capacities:
>All flashlights : 5h
>Crappy flashlight(FU) : 4h
>Explorer's lantern : 4h

You shift-click to replace the battery
All flashlights require an AA battery in your inventory and won't let you change it untill atleast 1/4 of the internal one gets depleted
The mining lantern uses a fuel system, where 1 oil refills 10% of it's capacity


For now, the battery level will be displayed as a damage bar, I'm still thinking about that menu idea but haven't decided yet if it's worth the time to program in.


Required mods:
You don't actually need both, just one or the other will do.
Flashlight Buttons (item)
Flashlight Buttons (replacer)

Addons:
[Flashlight Buttons] Quarter Capacity
[Flashlight Buttons] Half capacity
[Flashlight Buttons] Double capacity


I recommend also installing either of the following mods as the MM's built-in flashlight kinda spoils this mod's challenge.
Weaker MM Flashlight
Disable MM Flashlight

or if it's a lot easier, at least make the bar green instead of red ♥

Please make that icon displayed on your thumbnail... It will be awesome ♥
And thanks for the mod. It's so much more immersive.

If you have the replacer version of the base mod then yes it replaces the existing flashlights.

does it replace normal flashlights or is it it's own item

combine this with the ammo guns mod to really feel the realism

Does this work with the flashlight added by Elithian races?

Yes, if you also have the replacer version of FB installed.
Also works with the wide beamed one.

Does this work with the Faulty Flashlight from FU that you get at the start?
