POG BrightMod

POG BrightMod is a visibility and lighting enhancement mod for Pit of Goblin. It applies a high-priority HDRP volume profile, reduces dark scenes, and lets players toggle the effect in-game.

Install: Use Thunderstore Mod Manager / App, or place POGBrightMod.dll in the game Mods folder.

Features

Bright mode toggle in MOD SETTINGS.
Configurable hotkey (Toggle Key) in MOD SETTINGS.
Persistent settings with MelonPreferences.
Works with IL2CPP + MelonLoader runtime.
Keeps effect state synchronized between menu toggle and hotkey toggle.
Disables accidental hotkey switching while MOD SETTINGS is open.

What Bright Mode Changes

When enabled, the mod applies a global HDRP volume profile and quality override:

Exposure -> Fixed mode, fixedExposure = -0.5
IndirectLightingController -> indirectDiffuseLightingMultiplier = 6
ColorAdjustments -> postExposure = 2
Fog -> forced disabled
Vignette -> intensity = 0
QualitySettings.shadows -> ShadowQuality.Disable

When disabled:

The created override volume is turned off.
Original shadow quality is restored.

Runtime behavior

Main behavior lives in BrightModBehaviour and is injected as an Il2Cpp MonoBehaviour.
A global Volume with high priority is created once and reused.
Apply() updates:
- _overrideVolume.enabled for post-processing state
- QualitySettings.shadows to disable/restore shadows when bright mode changes

Config integration

Config entries are registered through POGConfig.Register(...).
ToggleEntry controls bright mode state.
KeyEntry controls the runtime hotkey and persists as int in preferences.

Safety / UX notes

Hotkey toggle is intentionally blocked while MOD SETTINGS is open to prevent accidental changes while editing config.
On first launch, default bright mode is enabled unless user preferences override it.

Extending the mod

Add more visual presets by extending Initialize() volume setup.
Add additional config rows in TryRegisterConfig().
Keep heavy scene scanning out of Update(); use cached references and preference-backed values.
