Note: when testing or setting up the mod, it is recommended to turn on debug mode for verbose log info. If you're updating from the previous version, you might need to delete your config file (in Data Files/MWSE/config).

Interior lighting values
Upon entering an interior cell, its lighting values are adjusted to TLaD or DL values if overrides are enabled, or set to a percentage of their base value (0 - 100%) if overrides are disabled or there is no override data for the cell. It is possible to whitelist cells, so that lighting changes apply only to them. By default, using a whitelist is disabled, but the MCM includes a pre-made whitelist with all vanilla interior cells, except of testing cells.

Lights without a mesh
Certain lights do not have a visible source (torch, lantern, etc.) in their mesh. This mod provides an option to extinguish them. It is also possible to apply this feature only to blacklisted lights.

Light radius scaling
The radius of all light sources can be scaled between 25 - 300%. Recommended values are between 80 - 120%. Lights with a radius greater than the cutoff value won't be scaled.

Dark light disabling
It's possible to remove negative (dark) lights.

Flicker removal
Many lights in Morrowind flicker or pulse. It's possible to remove that effect for all lights, or for all lights except ones that mimick flame (torches, braziers, etc).

Light object overrides
It's possible to use light color, time, and radius from TLaD (Necro edit), and/or radius, time, value, and weight from True Skyrimized Torches. If both are enabled, TST changes to carryable lights overwrite TLaD ones.

Level design lighting preview
When in an interior cell, press L to edit each lighting value separately. This can be useful for previewing desired lighting settings when making mods. Additionally, after each change, the values are printed into MWSE.log in a way that lets you import them into your preferred override list (if you wish to use these data, make sure to delete the default entry for that cell).

Currently working on making the lighting values change depending on the time of day and possibly the weather, and on adding light sources to GitD sunrays.
