This is bright
AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!1

how to turn the mod on?

not only does this look significantly better than post-1.0's flashlight, but it makes the darker areas where you need to use a flashlight (like during Power Up) actually feel like a horror section

when i first played black mesa, I thought that the flashlight straight up wasn't there because of how bad it looks. this is so much nicer, thank you!

does this fix the flashlight not working as intended on surfaces except props and enemies?

the light is super laggy for me. how do fix?

i also agree

i agree it sucks

The default flashlight in Black Mesa f****** sucks.

it blinks

@1/4 Life

Agreed, even in vanilla, crawling trough vents with a headcrab dead in front of you somehow covers the entire flashlight lol

I get that "the HEV lamp is in the chest" and yada yada but dear lord make a compromise because it looked god awful and nowhere near realistic anyway.

There's way in the skill.cfg to control most aspects of the flashlight, but it's a huge undertaking to get it to do what you want.
Used to be 'static' flashlight mods on the workshop, and more, but most seem to have disappeared.

Note that while skill.cfg by default has a lot of commands for the flashlight, there are actually even more that aren't listed there, and need to be found navigating the console. Once you have what you want, save it to skill.cfg, and enjoy.

Is there a way to disable sway animation when you turn around and the flashlight kinda lags behind?

This mod actually make the game playable on the Steam Deck. This made my day. Every deck users should know ! It fixed the flashlight and texture glitch.

gb_flashlight_shadow_nearZ 6
gb_flashlight_PosY -18

I found adding these to your autoexec makes a huge improvement. NearZ so shadows are cast from objects further than 5 feet from your face, and PosY to make the flashlight usable while crawling through vents (Affects the stock one too)

i like the very slight hint of blue

There is a "Half-Life 2 Flashlight" mod on the workshop.

ohh, that's sad... I really want the old flashlight back :/

afaik there are no ways of restoring the old source flashlight system

@1v4n94 it's still the current bm system, I just made it look like the old one

HL2's flashlight is way better since it does not have a delay when moving the cursor, and the new has issues the old one does not.

Is the flashlight system the same that can be found in HL2? The flashlight in Black Mesa is currently not my preferred, since it works differently.
