@Jibbles yeah, anytime they update the sounds and add new ones I'll probably have to update it. If you notice anything else just let me know. I haven't played much recently, I'm really into X4 Foundations atm and working on a big Trek mod for it hehe

Awesome! Thanks for the quick update!
I guess it might have to be done again soon if they also add more tracks from the recent music contest.

@Jibbles it should be updated now, the klaxon part was the first sound block I've messed with and it seems to require the SoundCategories sbc, they've updated and added some more sounds to that over time and I've honestly just forgot to update the list for the mod. it should be fine now though.

@Jibbles no problem, give me a bit and I'll let u know when I have an update.

Thanks for the quick reply! Looks like everything after "Timeless Space" is missing

@Jibbles It could be somehow, when I first made the Klaxon part of the street lights it had some issues with sounds. I can have a look at it soon and see. Do you know what's being excluded? I may just need to add the newer tracks to it.

So I noticed a while ago that some music was missing from the entertainment corner with the mod set I was using. I ran a 50-50 test to see which mod was causing the conflict... and somehow it's this one? I'm not sure how a lighting mod interacts with the game's music, but I tested it more than once, and there it is.

Well, I added your spotlights to my small ship and now I can't even look at it when the spotlights are on. xD I had to add an event controller to auto on and off those lights.

@Vas I'm not sure honestly, I haven't messed with the glare. I do usually use a lighting mod so I haven't really been bothered by it though either. It's one of them that makes shadows darker and lighting brighter, idk the name though.

Its the spotlights I was talking about, by the way. Forgot to mention that.

Is there a way to remove the glare from these? I mean damn its bright as hell. I think I have a mod that removes it from regular spotlights but these add it back in basically.

They were off for 3 of us in a MP server. It's probably the texture being different - like heavy armour and light armour painted the same look different. Any chance you'd consider making the half blocks the same as light armour, considering light/heavy armour are the only other half blocks out there?

@a.mcbob What graphic setting do u play on? I just tested them on high and they seem fine. The textures aren't the same as vanilla light armor though no, I'm using PaintedMetal_Recolorable for them while armor uses Armor_Light or LightArmor.

@Elachi Didn't check the others, but the one I saw it on last night was the Ceiling Light V4 HB. I tried several different skins and it always came out different. Up close, it looked like the material properties weren't the same, if that even makes sense in this context.

@a.mcbob on which one(s)?

The new blocks are great for adding extra light in places the vanilla blocks don't fit. Just one complaint: they don't paint properly. There's always a slight difference between them and the vanilla blocks around them, leaving an unsightly seam that's visible from quite a distance.

@Federation Cosmic-Bolt I could sometime yeah, I'm a bit busy with college at the moment and haven't had time to do so much lately. I have a few other projects to do first also but at some time they'll get added :)

just a thought, but would it be possible for you to make add half blocked Navigation Lights?

@Raynor I will update that soon, I don't know why I didn't include it but the spotlights are further range than the vanilla ones, area light was around 250m-300m, the searchlight was around 1km

What's the range on the lights? I didn't see it in the description.

@Elachi Dance Party, I'll look forward to it. Thanks for reply and thanks again for all your hard and badass work)

@Seyha Thanks mate, I would like to have a master pack once I've covered a majority of items, I have some weapons, thrusters, and power blocks in the works atm. I want to finish those and my survival overhaul for a master pack release :)

@Elachi Dance Party, you have made awesome mods. but can you make one modpack of all your works?

Huh, odd. I could swear the extra lights at the end there were from a DLC. I dunno, ah well.

@Vas nothing from this pack is from the DLC so that's all good mate, DLC tags are only required if models or textures exclusive to a DLC were used. Everything in this was directly modeled by me and textures are the same as vanilla blocks, the searchlights are not restricted either, within code they're basically interior turrets so there really shouldn't be any issues with anything. Thanks for the concern though, I hope you enjoy the pack :)

The spotlights from Warfare 2 need to have the DLC tag included in their cube block files, otherwise the mod would get taken down from the workshop. This is just a heads up, as it was brought up somewhere and I wanted to give you a notification on that before someone takes action.

Just add;
<DLC>Warfare2</DLC>
to the end of the cube block files related to the search lights from that DLC and you should be fine.

Otherwise, you're effectively giving people DLC for free which is a big nono from Keen. I don't want to see you get in any trouble.

@Phenix85 Fixed it, I think it may have been a change due to them also being airtight on their sides, I will update that with the next update but for now they'll be airtight on the sides also.

@Phenix85 Let me have a look at it

Hey I've noticed a problem that the sloped block spotlights aren't airtight, so If I just replace a sloped block with a light, my ship is no longer airtight

These are great! I've some on my atmos. ship, base, and an outpost interior.

@VHS can u upload a copy of the world? I'll see if i can find the issue

Also every other sound loads okay with or without mod just the custom sound

I'm not using any specific sound mod it's just a custom sound that i put in myself but with the light mod loaded my custom sound doesn't load, but without the mod it loads just fine.

@VHS I just tested with 2 different sound mods on and they worked fine, if u could link me the sound mod u are trying to use I can test it and see what the problem could be.

@VHS I'll have a look at it today and see if I can fix it, I did have an issue with sounds when I first released them, it may not have been fully fixed. Have u done any testing to see if it is from this mod? It may be another sound block mod if u have any on.

I discovered a bug where for some reason when the mod is loaded my custom sounds on sound blocks are non existent.

Wasnt sure what to expect since had searchlights in this mod. And thank you for reply Elachi, I really need a brighter rotating one but cant find any mod that touches them :-( They all do spotlights and normal lights but none of these. Guess Ill just have to add some sort of siren so I know when warning lights go off lol

WC doesn't muck with spotlights, only searchlights. The searchlight Multispectral Sensor will likely have no AI with WC. Should still work as a spotlight and controllable "turret" light, and spotlights are just entirely unaffected.

@dragonsphotoworks no idea, I don't use WC atm. I do wanna add at least 1 rotating light yeah, it will be a bit before I work on them though.

Does this work with weapon core? And do you plan to add rotating lights? Been trying to find brighter rotating lights as vanilla barely visible in my ship.

@Kaedys I still use the vanilla ones in places too. I will be adding 2 more types of nav lights in the near future (akin to the styles u see on boats and planes today), I also plan to add another area light that will be a full 1x1x1 block in size, and at least 1 more type of ceiling light. I would like to make a few modular traffic intersection lights at some point but I think they would be better within a city themed pack.

You betcha, adore this mod, so glad it's still getting attention. The vanilla lighting options are just sooo limited. The new nav lights are awesome, I'd actually fallen back to using the standard vanilla interior lights for my "position lights" and similar blinkers, because I felt they looked better than the flat panels (which are otherwise better for ambient lighting and such), but the new nav lights are awesome for that use-case.

@Kaedys Ok, they should be fine now. I'm glad you noticed it, there was a minor mistake within the build state models also that had to be fixed. I left the light dome there and hide it, I thought it was deleted so I didn't notice it on export hehe. Thanks again mate :)

@Kaedys Oh, give me 5 to 15 mins and I'll have an update for that. Thanks for the alert mate

Believe the build state for some of the new lights is screwed up. Both small grid nav lights show up as a square frame 90-degrees rotated off the light, and the regular-sized (non-Large) V2 large-grid one shows up as a similar small (0.5m) square frame 90 degrees rotated. Looking at the files, all 3 are still set to use `\LightingOptions\LightV2_BS1.mwm` as their build state model, I suspect they were supposed to be `\EDPNavLights\SG_NavLightV1_BS1.mwm`, `\EDPNavLights\SG_NavLightV2_BS1.mwm, and `\EDPNavLights\LG_NavLightV2_BS1.mwm`, respectively.

oh, that would be nice! :)

@MedvePapus Build states for now, if at some point I can make it retractable then it will be

is the 2nd picture a like... "grinding level", or it is retractable? :o

hey there sorry to bother but there is currently an issue regarding adjusting spotlight range not syncing / saving on servers which also affects this mod here.
