BetterLanternsAndLights

Adds lantern and island street light improvements.

Features

• Lanterns, stoves, smokers, market stove stalls, candles in buildings, braziers, and island street lights flicker in the light they produce as if they have a flame inside of them.

• Lights and lanters that are covered with a shade also visually flicker as if they have a flame in them.

• Wind affects the flicker speed for lanterns, stoves, and smokers. Wind does not affect the flicker speed if the item is considered inside.

• Lights added to the gate to Dragon Cliffs.

• The ability to deactivate ambient player light.

• The ability to activate a lantern when it is in the players inventory.

• All of the above features can be enabled/disabled from the BepInEx configuration manager in game without the need to restart. If the lantern/street light flicker is disabled while the light is currently flickering, turn off the lantern/wait for the street light to turn off and it will not flicker again until re-enabled.
