Nicer Flashlights and Headlamps Addon v1.7  

Nicer Flashlights and Headlamps Addon v1.7

Heavily inspired by the Pip-Boy Flashlight mod for Fallout 4 by AKcelsior. The name says it all, a simple modification that makes the flashlight and headlamps nicer by increasing the radius and range along with some new textures I've included. Pictures for showcasing each variants are now in their respective folders. There are 41 different variants:

Alex - this is just my own little preset. not that interesting really.

Blair Witch 2019 - inspired by the flashlight from the 2019 Blair Witch game made by Bloober Team, for those who like to get lost in the Red Forest.

Blood - inspired by an old CS:S mod i saw on Gamebanana back in the day, your light sources have been given a good showering of human and mutant blood. for those who prefer the ol... ultra violent.

Broken 1 - 2 - your light sources have seen better days, yet it still chugs on like a champion. for those who will not give up no matter the circumstances.

Clean 1 - 5 - spotless and unobstructed textures for those who scrub their equipment too often.

DL2 - short for Dying Light 2, this is a recreation of the flashlight seen in footage of the game taken around 2021 (this game literally went through 4-5 different iterations of the flashlight so i just ended up using the nicest looking one.)

FC6 - short for Far Cry 6, this is yet another recreation of the flashlight seen in the game, especially inside caves.

Fringe - replicates the look of much more older and flawed flashlights where they would have very subtle red, green and maybe blue fringing on the edges.

Imperfect 1 - 11 - messy and flawed textures for those who just absolutely despise the clean look on literally anything.

Isolation - uses Alien: Isolation's headlamp texture as a base and remixes it to something familiar yet new. for those who seek the thrill of getting chased by a Xenomorph again in Sevastopol again except its actually a Bloodsucker in X-19

KEKW - you know who this is.

LED - replicates the look of LED flashlights when they have a focused beam of light, especially ones with focusing rings. for those who dig the look of the square light.

Maglite - based off of the real life maglite flashlights, or as i like to call them: "a beating stick that lights up".

Misery - the headlamp and flashlight texture from S.T.A.L.K.E.R Misery, a Call of Pripyat mod thats now discontinued. this texture has also appeared several times in other STALKER mods. for those who miss the mod and would like to bring a piece of it to Anomaly.

Original - the original Anomaly flashlight and headlamp textures for those who prefer it.

Police - based off of the many flashlights and headlamps used by law enforcement all over the world, for those who are police officers or those who like to be one, either in the game or in real life.

"Realistic" - these textures were originally made for GMOD to replace the stock flashlight texture with something nicer and higher resolution, then i decided to bring them to this addon. for those who like a dash of realism in their lights.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 1 & 2- the headlamp texture from the original 3 S.T.A.L.K.E.R games for those who are nostalgic and want a piece of history with them.

Source - a pretty recognizable flashlight texture that has been used in some Source Engine games and mods before (most notably is Half Life 2, Insurgency, CS:S, etc). for those who like to add a bit of Source Engine flair to it.

Square 1 - 2 (Headlamp Only): replaces the headlamp texture with a more rectangular shaped one, for those who like to square up for a fight with the mutants.

Taclight - based on the many tactical light attachments for guns in real life, for those who like to get a bit tacticool in the Zone.

Unity - arguably one of the most used and most iconic texture used in the Unity 3D Game Engine. it can be seen in a plethora of games made on it over the last few years, it's found most often in horror games. for those who somehow love the texture a lot.

Vintage - replicates the look of old 40s - 50s vintage flashlights, before they started much more modern bulbs.

Weird - a rather odd texture to say the least, i really dont recommend this at all for normal gameplay since its too distracting unless you want to get... funky. you'll know soon enough.

Troubleshooting:

- When using a mod that overwrites the flashlight config file, always make sure NFHA goes first before the mod.

- Additionally, when using an addon, always make sure it goes first and the variant of your choice second.

- If you encountered any problems using the mod with BaS or Stealth, I recommend checking mortymere's guide linked right here: Link to Drive
