Better Fire Barrels

BeforeAfter
     




This mod makes all Fire Barrels in the game have better effects, look nicer and give more accurate lighting, as well as reaction to day , night, and rain.


At Day all fire barrels (Outside) will extinguish, and then at Night they will all be Ignited. Indoors/Interior Fire Barrels will be exempt from any change, and should be on at all times.


Fire Barrels during the day will be empty, but when lit, at night, will have Wood and Ash inside them so as to give a nicer look as if there's something actually burning within them.


NOTE:
All Fire Barrels have been replaced (Using Base Object Swapper) to use the same radius, for consistency. Some barrels previously emit massive, or tiny radius, which i think is a bit pointless, except for some minor areas.


An alternate version is uploaded for those that just want the effects, and not the day/night/rain changes.


KNOWN ISSUES:
Not specifically related to the mod, but many Outdoor fire barrels have a smoke effect manually placed above them - This mod doesn't remove those.
It can easily be done, either through Base Object Swapper but these smoke effects are used elsewhere in the game, and i can't find a way to target only specific references to remove, so for now, day time extinguished fire barrels still have some smoke plumes (not super noticeable, and not all of them)



Please report any issues in Bugs section.



If you enjoy my mods, please endorse and drop me a Kudos. :)


Special thanks
A big thanks to dlpnd, who spent a long time helping me with this. I've been trying to make something like this for years and he helped a lot.
And lastly to ebizoe, whose wizardry with scripting has finally brought this project to life.


I don't really care about DP, so i'll be splitting this mod 50/50 between ebizoe and dlpnd who helped make this mod possible.
