On-Together: Day and Night

Version 1.0.1 for On-Together.

What it adds

• A configurable real-time day and night cycle. The default is 60 minutes; 1440 minutes synchronizes a full game day with a real day.
• Directional shadows for world scenery, characters, lamps, and water surfaces.
• Smooth dawn, dusk, moon, stars, clouds, rain, and a sea that takes its colour from the sky it is under.
• Warm lighting for scene lamps, campfires, hanging lanterns, decorative bulbs, and desk lamps.
• Subtle self-lit phone, laptop, and handheld game-console screens. The console screen gently changes colour with occasional game-like jumps.
• Cicada and night-insect ambience with separate volume controls.
• A Chinese, English, and Japanese live settings menu, opened with F11.

Installation

1. Install BepInEx for On-Together.
2. With a mod manager, install this package normally; no files need to be moved afterwards. For manual installation, copy the included BepInEx folder into the game folder and merge it with the one already there.
3. Start the game. Press F11 for live settings; press F4 to reload the configuration file.

The mod uses the plugin folder On-Together_Day_and_Night and creates the configuration file cn.ontogether.dayandnight.cfg.

Troubleshooting

• If an ID-card portrait was saved at night by the original 1.0.0 build, open avatar customization, make any harmless change, and save once. The game stores IDPhoto.png, so uninstalling a mod does not regenerate an already saved portrait; the fixed build keeps future portrait captures in neutral daytime lighting.
• Thunder chance per minute = 0 disables Day and Night's lightning flash and thunder clip. The game's separate Storm ambience toggle has its own rain/thunder effect and is not controlled by this setting.
• The default 4096 shadow atlas and four cascades keep nearby shadows clear across the long world view. If a GPU cannot sustain them, lower these two settings from F11; cloud shadows remain off by default.
