Better Lighting - Full Fog Version

Updated thanks to PGI being amazing developers who support us modders! Fixed a bunch of stuff and added some new lights based on the new hangar lighting in DLC2.

Original text:

Because the developers of Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries had to make the game perform well on the outdated Xbox One consoles, they (understandably) had to downgrade the original lighting of the mech hangar and the operations office to make the game less taxing. This resulted in fewer light sources and many more global and intense lights that give the whole game a flat image. And to make up for the flat lighting, the new version introduces a bunch of nice fog cards.

For PC users, this was unfortunately a big step down from the original Epic Game Store release in December 2019 that had many more light sources and shadowing that gave depth to the image, especially when looking at your big beautiful mechs.

This mod restores the original lighting with some tweaks here and there. In case people like the fog in the new version, I have made four different versions:

1. Improved lighting with minimal fog (my personal preference): Restores original PC lighting and little fog remains. https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2508754148
2. Improved lighting with light fog: Restores original PC lighting and retains a light amount of fog from the new version https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2508752829
3. Improved lighting with medium fog: Restores original PC lighting and retains a medium amount of fog from the new version https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2508751606
4. Improved lighting with full fog: Restores original PC lighting and retains all of the fog from the new version https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2508746528&tscn=1622936860


This mod was made possible thanks to the amazing Commander Hunter who was so nice to back up the old mod tools that allowed me to export the original lighting by Piranha Games Interactive. And of course PGI themselves who've made a hell of an entertaining game. Thanks to LT-47, Bolter, and yrrot (as always) for helping out with my cadet questions.
