**MORE LIGHTS**  
_…Because there is never enough of the stuff._

My first try at MagicaVoxel so _critisize the crap out of it_.  
It’s also lore-friendly! At least I hope it is. :merry:

See refs. - Bioluminescence lamps (firefly? jellyfish? luminiscent mushrooms?) for both Rayyas and Ascendants. - Ideally, modify SHED to support light editing

PS. Some links to make me feel comfortable being alone and all. Also someone might find this useful.  
[Reference for positioning](https://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/reference-positioning-placeable-items/14858) applies mostly to Qubicle, but can also be useful for Magica (axis system is the same). Note to self: Magica places model origin in the corner of the model. Hadn’t found how to change that so json shifting to the rescue.  
[SHED viewer](https://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/shed-1-3-2-unofficial-effect-editor/10015) for quick viewing of cubemitters. Note to self: accepts only unpacked smods as valid paths. Throws an error if you try to reference an effect inside a packed smod. Works normal in the game though.

**DOWNLOAD**  
Suddenly [Praise](http://praisedb.x10.bz/mod.php?id=121). (outdated)  
Also [GitHubbed](https://github.com/Kilkenni/lodewall_lights). (updates first)

On GitHub click “Clone or download”, then download as ZIP. Unpack the only folder in the ZIP archive (lodewall\_lights-master), rename it to lodewall\_lights and drop into your SH mods folder.

* * *

In case anyone’s gonna use MagicaVoxel for models, here’s the **palette** I used. All the colors are picked from existing SH vanilla models (order, right to left: steel, iron, clay, weapon/armor wood, copper, tin, bronze, silver, gold, some more wood (not all, there are too much colors), glass, cloth and some stone in the end).

the most common way to share mods are with places like dropbox and googledrive, and then prviding a link to the download, though there is also [praiseDB](http://praisedb.x10.bz/index.php?page=mods) by @Shizuyori, which is another good method for sharing mods

Seems like I’m too lazy to register 🙄  
[GitHub link](https://github.com/Kilkenni/lodewall-lights) - zip download works, but the folder inside needs to be renamed to “lodewalllights”. And the zip itself changed to smod. I tested it when unpacked but suppose this should work just as well.

Time and level requirement are random, just wanted to make sure it works.  
Oh. And it’s perma-on. For the same reason. I like lights.

Not really happy with how it turned out. When under cubemitter it gets more orange-ish, and that doesn’t feel right. Tried tinkering with the emitter, seems like I got it right (not sure about the curves - I suppose it’s about bezier curves but I can’t pop the right numbers out of my mind, so any guide would be helpful). The glass still needs a more appropriate coloring. Gonna meditate on the palette, maybe that’ll fix it.  
Also I don’t think coal is appropriate in the recipe. Yet I don’t like leaving lights without fuel. Got to think about that.

For this time when you _really_ want grilled sausages\*.

 ![](https://i.imgur.com/DDq2BLE.png)  
Iron brazier is more economical in that it doesn’t require a skilled blacksmith and steel.  
Also inspired by Portal Knights.

\*doesn’t do grilled sausages.

Note to self: the coloring is not good. Make border brighter?

Oh. Right. There was this story with the password.  
🙃  
Will upload to Praise as soon as I’m more or less satisfied with the models and balance. It’s a hard challenge to be a perfectionist 😕

Edit: not so hard after all. Bumped the first post with Praise and GH links in case anyone needs this. Any feedback?

Edit2: Oh. And lantern now requires 1 clay for the glass (since there’s no quartz).

Glad to see it’s still useful. I haven’t touched it in months but unless they radically change the Cubemitters I imagine it should continue to function.

It is. I currently only used it for color-picking but it’s not limited to that. Of course, it’s technically more a real-time viewer than an editor, but still it’s quite useful. Not to say it’s the only existent cubemitter tool I know of.  
Though there is always something more to wish for, like supporting light emitters (at least emitter positioning) or voxel reference grid or-  
Sorry, got carried away 🙃

Steel carbide lamp. Not really interesting cause I didn’t paint a reflector. And I didn’t do it cuz I don’t know if I can make a directional lighting in Stonehearth. And having a non-working reflector is plain stupid.

 ![](https://i.imgur.com/oXtnCZM.png)  
Iron oil lamp. Like the previous iron lantern but without the air tubes. Has a wide base to put it on a table.

 ![](https://i.imgur.com/6i1aA0G.png)  
Clayware candle. Inspired by the game of all times. In case you don’t know what game is the game of all times, it is Morrowind. Guess I’ll add it when I beat my indolence.  
It would be cool to have Hearthlings carry these. Bummer.

I hadn’t thought about adding lights to it but it wouldn’t be that hard to add. I really wanted to add the ability to import entire models that were generated out of Qubicle. Then you could have reference items or see how your effect looks on your model, etc. One day I might revisit it and clean it up as just a generalized effect editor/viewer. 🙂

What is better than lights? More lights. Because Stonehearth can _always_ use more lights.  
Version 1.1 with candles and cookies. I’m somewhat proud of the torch since I managed to squeeze sound, glow, fire **and** smoke in a single item.  
…still don’t know how will it behave under heavy load. My SH doesn’t show nice framerate in well-lit areas anyway.

Just pretend it’s made of clay or stone. Because it totally is. The crafting sheet cannot lie!

Under Stonehearth/lib there is a loot table folder, however inside of it is a lua file, might be there? It is Lua though…

loving the looks of this mod so far, i might have to test it out…

just wondering, does the skull light burn with green flames or just normal flames?
