@Jon I think it's not possible

@franzeusq yes, why not? Nothing has changed in vanilla code that could break it.

Do you know if its possible to do this but for prop illumination? Some workshop props are illuminated during the day

Does this work 2025?

Very good for testing out lighting without the need to force night and mess up the public transit. I wish there were a button in the game to toggle instead of going to the menu each time.

Further developement:

- I would love a button to toggle this in game, like an on/off switch.
- and if you have districts, a master on/off, and one seperately for each district

@Krzychu1245 I think the same as the person below. I hope you or other modders can find out a way to modify lights randomization. I have no idea why this stupid game is programmed to randomize lights per building, not per window.

@Krzychu1245 so can you modify it?

@邸晓宇 I doubt it's possible. Building windows are handled by the building shader and shaders in general are pretty limited when it comes to tweaking how they work.

@Krzychu1245 please

hi，please.
Is there a way to override the game random 'lights on' per building?

i really want to screenshot the night city, but i want to screen all the building when they light up.

but in the game, the light of the windows of the building is light up random.

can you make it stop working for screenshot?

oh awesome. Thanks for taking the time to look into that I really appreciate it! @Krzychu1245

@ACanadianMoose_ I'm not sure how street lights are enabled. Will take a look, if it's as simple as one switch then I'll release an update.

out of curiosity is there any chance making a option or potential sister mod to this that allows buildings lights on but streetlights off?

Oh hell yes, this is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

Would it be possible to implement the ability to select which entities have their lights turned on, by any chance (certain props, buildings, etc)?

And another idea for this mod : force turn on the lights even when there's no electricity

I agree with @LemonsterOG, because of randomization on 'lights on per building', half of the building's lights will be completly off. It would be great if you could solve this problem with your amazing modding skills!

@Krzychu1245 -- Thanks so much.

@LemonsterOG
I'm not sure how that process works, it might be randomized in the shader with help of "randomization" texture (similar to simulation of waving trees/tree leafs).
I'll take a look into it if I find some free time.

@Krzychu1245 -- Is there a way to override the game random 'lights on' per building? I understand why the game randomizes this, but for something like an airport, I want all the building lights to be on, while still allowing the randomization throughout the rest of the city.

This mod is fantastic, I've been waiting for something like this! I do think there needs to be an option to make vehicle lights independent from street/building lights so achieving a "blackout" effect at night would be more realistic. Amazing that someone's finally done this though, great work!

How can you find where to turn the lights off?

Describing this mod , I still can't turn all the lights when the night comes,some Ploppable buildings ' lights are still off .

Little update: fixed problem with saving/loading settings

thank you

@unforgiven3091 I'm not 100% sure if I actually added it to required items. It's very popular dependency (>0.5 Million subs), so it is possible that all subscribers already subscribe it and no one noticed that.

i thought i didnt need it anymore

ohh i know what it is, i uninstall the mod depenency: Harmony

okay, ill just uninstall it and install it because the name isnt even displaying. its name just says 2336182914

I need output_log.txt but there is no code in the mod which can cause that error just by enabling it in content manager.

yes, it only appears when i have it enabled and when i enable it in content manager it says that.

@unforgiven3091 are you sure that error was caused by this mod? Do you have dependency subscribed and enabled? If so please share output_log.txt file (you can create thread in Discussion section)

this mod gave me this error when turning it on:

A Mod caused an error [ModException]

System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range.

Hello,can you make a mod to solve out-of-sync problem of interior lights?
When a building is light on, the building next to it may be completely dark, which is not realistic.

@Stormy Kara I used to have the same problem with some of OWL'S themes. I no longer have this problem now though. Do you have one of his themes enabled?

I subbed to this mod and it works as intended, but when I zoom in on buildings I get a weird light flicker effect that I didn't get before using this mod. I'm not sure if it's due to this mod or something else, has anyone else had this issue?

@dylan.wagemans: I think kittenville just wanted to express his joy at having his hopes fulfilled. The mod works perfectly.

Well, Kittenville commented that he is hoping that someone would make this mod. So I was wondering if the mod was broken?

@dylan.wagemans what do you mean?

Is it broken?

Is this compatible with Real Time?

Thanks so much for this awesome mod man! Now I'm able to create perfect scenes in my citadel series! And thanls for the shoutout as well!!

What a nice idea to turn this into a little mod of its own! This has always been one of Realtime's most appealing features to me and it's great to have it at my fingertips without the massive overhead of Realtime now. Thanks!
By the by, I second Blood-PawWerewolf's idea. It would be wonderful if we could create a config file determining which buildings should turn off and which won't when we hit the switch.

can there be an option to have it so i can turn off lights per building/prop? like a checkbox on the building/prop's info box?

Dunno if you take suggestions from comments, but I also don't know if there is another place where I can request this, reaching out to more mod creators at the same time.

Basically it would be cool with a draw bridge mod, maybe you can contact boformer to get his code as he doesn't seem to be working on it anymore and hasn't for quite some time

Thanks

Nice

Damn, Redstone came first (as always haha). Anyway, thanks a lot, now I don't have to check electricity to see my building's illumination, which speeds up testing significantly....

This'll be so useful for checking out an asset's illumination map in action and much more. Thank you so much!
