Description
Achievments
Working just fine. A lot of workarounds was needed and a lot of bugs was fixed, but its there!
Flashlight Beam
Now has diffusion. No more looking through a spyglass.
You can even get up close and won’t need a microscope to see the flashlight’s light.
Switching between different flashlights
Now exists, not just a swap of color and properties.
Powerful flashlight
Now a rare item, but at least it’s finally justifies its bulk.
Configurable Particle and Fog systems
Are in config file.

Presets
Five presets are available, selectable in the config:
| Preset Name |
Description |
MINIMAL |
(Default) For a vanilla-like experience. Just a clean inner beam and a soft outer glow, nothing extra. |
CASUAL |
Pretty much realistic, but makes game easier sometimes |
VERY_CASUAL |
Slightly wider and longer reach than CASUAL |
ITS_2050_BRUH |
Sleepers can hear you, but probably won't see you anymore. Shine! |
VANILLA |
Disables all changes entirely |

Changelog
v2.0.0
- Fixed [CRITICAL]: Fixed a critical bug where sleepers completely ignored the custom flashlight beam and would not wake up, restoring correct player detection.
- Fixed [CRITICAL]: Fixed an annoying co-op glitch where another player's actions or weapon swaps would cause your own flashlight to flicker, glitch, or temporarily "drop" its state.
- Fixed [CRITICAL]: The mod now instantly detects your equipped weapon right at the start of a level, completely removing the need to cycle through your weapons on spawn to make the flashlight work.
- Added: Volumetric atmospheric fog inside the beam. Tuned per-rundown — shallow expeditions are nearly haze-free, deeper ones get more fog. Toggle/strength in the config.
- Added: In-beam dust particles now vary in tint (warm-light vs darker-gray).
- Added: Hard density cap on our fog so it can't stack on top of GTFO's level fog.
- Changed: Made
MINIMAL the default preset, providing a cleaner vanilla-like experience out of the box.
- Changed: Renamed
DEFAULT preset to CASUAL (the balanced baseline).
- Changed: Renamed the old
CASUAL preset to VERY CASUAL (balanced baseline with small range and angle offsets).
- Changed: Ranged Fall layer intensity 0.25 → 0.45 across all presets — the cone boundary no longer reads as a moving silhouette during reload / aim-sweep.
- Changed: Dust pool grown from 180 → 365 motes; per-mote alpha reduced ~25 %.
- Changed: Tier bands shifted one slot lower — what previously appeared at tier C now appears at tier E; new C is roughly the old A. Tier values are now individually exposed as config knobs.
- Fixed: Dust particles now fade in smoothly when respawning so motes no longer "pop in" while running.
- Fixed: Pickable flashlight visual occasionally being stamped with the previous ranged weapon's preset for one frame after the F-toggle.
- Other minor tweaks and fixes.
v1.2.0
- Added: New preset[MINIMAL] for vanilla-like expirience.
- Added: Dust particle system.(Can be turned off in the config.).
- Changed: Helmet Light logic. Now works like regular Flashlight with unique properties.
- Changed: Helmet synth falloff cone is now significantly stronger (×2.5 intensity).
- Changed: Rewrote configuration comments to be more user-friendly.
- Fixed: Various beam sync, swap-gap, and preset-resolution issues.
v1.1.0
- Added: Weapon bone attachment for dynamic flashlight tracking.
v1.0
- Initial release of Flashlight Overhaul.
