Description
Dynamic System Lighting

Starlight is a small and rather simple mod I created as a little experiment with stellaris' lighting engine. It makes system stars actually emit light, rather than light being "emitted" from the dead centre of the system, which looks rather odd.

This mod fixes that by having stars each emit their own coloured light using pointlights, and adds a rather nice atmosphere to multi-star systems, and makes black hole systems rather ominous.

Now Real Space compatible!

ALSO IRONMAN COMPATIBLE

I think this breaks the Toxic Star from The Toxic God Origin. CTD on upon viewing the system,.

I've done just as TheGrandN suggested and made a Toxoids compatible version of this mod. It's uploaded here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2891787560 . @AryxCami, Please let me know if you have any issue with this and I'll happily take down my version or add you as a contributor. Just happy to be keeping your work alive.

Toxoids adds a new star to the mix. That accounts for the CTD on -that- system. A quick fix:
--Add the toxoid star to the gfx/models/planets/_star_entities.asset file.
-- Add the toxoid light to the gfx/lights/star_lights.asset file.

You can find the new entries you need to add in the same folders in your Stellaris install.

If somebody wants to get enterprising, add a slight green light to it as well. (At least, I think green. Haven't seen -that- star system myself beyond the initializer! :lunar2019crylaughingpig: )
Incompatible with 3.5 & 3.6 due to the new star added in the Toxic God origin.

So far with the new "Knights of The Toxic God" Origin, the system that shows up when you find the Toxic God will CTD when you view it with this mod enabled.
