A great mod, but there's a bug. whenever the campaign reaches it's nightfall, the next chapter goes completely dark, even the flashlight aren't working either

Noticed everything is black except the view model if I am the local host and waiting for other players to load in.

In my case, this only affects the host, not the clients.

unfortunate this is super buggy for me. flashlight not working on some level. lighting shader flicker on certain corner
펀미 5 Apr, 2023 @ 7:22am 
In the precinct, there is a bug where the light does not come out despite shining a flashlight in the last chapter. Please fix it.
Shad3rEVO 16 Mar, 2023 @ 6:48pm 
I'm having the same bug as outta gas...
Grizz 14 Sep, 2022 @ 11:15am 
With some of the mods I have, this makes it scary
Khalil 13 Sep, 2022 @ 7:21pm 
I thought No Mercy was always night-time??
conqueefsimo 28 May, 2022 @ 10:48am 
this for some reason disables the fog on maps, and also sometimes the lighting flickers on maps
@J7kson 13 Apr, 2022 @ 7:53am 
goooooooooooooooooood
Pepe on my Balls 16 Feb, 2022 @ 8:02am 
to specify my problem: im running it through console without any other clashing script and all of campaigns are black and white
Pepe on my Balls 16 Feb, 2022 @ 8:01am 
every campaign is full black
ChapCanai 2 Feb, 2022 @ 6:11am 
I just wanna say that Swamp Fever looks real nice at night

this addon is needed to be able to see the skies on low graphics https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=759399233&searchtext=skybox+fix

啥意思啊
zzombhunter 28 May, 2021 @ 7:29pm 
could you make it so that in no mercy it replaces the moon as the sun in no mercy i see the moon in day time

Will this work for games started using the console?
c 16 May, 2021 @ 3:44pm 
black screen sometimes appears for a milisecond and sometimes after map change, whole map is black. unable to see anything even after respawn\death.

amazing addon though, don't let this discourage you from updating it. it's amazing and it works wonders. I just don't want to change maps because of pitch dark enviroment(no exaggeration) while there's people connected because they can disconnect during map change.
Hye yip 12 May, 2021 @ 1:56am 
can it work on singleplayer?
Ãpolloseuz 5 Apr, 2021 @ 11:32pm 
the only bugs that i have to report is the constan crashing on third mission from the parish, haven found any issues on othe campains, you should remind people that this might not work correctly on other dinamic light mods
Ãpolloseuz 5 Apr, 2021 @ 9:50pm 
this is so great, makes this game feel diferent, some flickery here and there and i crashed 1 time but i love your idea
妖の夢[Yume] 2 Apr, 2021 @ 11:09am 
Why does the light of my flashlight turn black?this make me cant see anything,i became blind
Shadowysn 26 Mar, 2021 @ 11:42pm 
I'm not sure if there is actually client-side VScript in L4D2, last time I checked...
〆 - ﻌ-ゝDoge... herr Doge 25 Mar, 2021 @ 3:32am 
looks like the brightness option is disabled and blurred out

When I entered the bridge at night, after the map was loaded, my scene was dark. I couldn't see anything, even the flashlight. I had to climb up the ladder in the dark until I listened to the walkie talkie, and the world had light.
DieKaiserschlacht 18 Mar, 2021 @ 11:29pm 
it's too bad he couldn't get this to work on dedicated servers, great idea nonetheless
ImaBeANinja 18 Mar, 2021 @ 3:05pm 
bro it gets so dark inside houses
DieKaiserschlacht 18 Mar, 2021 @ 10:26am 
so wait did you update this mod or is it the broken mod that we're supposed to get, cuz all i'm concerned about is getting this to work on dedicated servers
devlos  [author] 18 Mar, 2021 @ 5:07am 
@Moonraker Elite , It should be fixed hopefully.
devlos  [author] 18 Mar, 2021 @ 4:05am 
@Everyone

I am Discontinouing a different version off this mod that should have worked non-client side , being able to use it on dedicated servers and all players in a server. Unfortunately i had to abandon the project because off source-code & AI implementation and other methods that just don't seem to work or get the desired result.

You can find it at the bottom off the description.

The biggest issue with this is after a map transition, the whole map either is super dark or completely pitched black. Any chance to diagnose this and fix this issue?
DieKaiserschlacht 17 Mar, 2021 @ 4:36pm 
I read in one of your update notes that you did in fact make night time a little bit longer but I think that it's still pretty unbalanced and that night time really doesn't last very long compared to the absurdly long time to wait for night time to return after a cycle.

I propose you either give us the ability to tweak these settings on our own or you really just need to make it shorter
DieKaiserschlacht 17 Mar, 2021 @ 4:36pm 
so I went ahead and timed it, and from midnight to midnight it clocks in at a little over an hour. Now I get that having the game running at 16x speed this would make sense, but like I said before nobody is actually gonna be playing the game at 16x speed and we're just here for the novelty of a day night cycle in the game. It makes me wonder what you’re actual intentions are with this mod, because who is actually making time lapses of l4d2?

I also noticed that the actual night time only lasts for like 10 - 15 minutes at most, while the other 45 minutes is pretty much just vanilla lighting with maybe 10 minutes of slightly darker lighting on each side of dawn and dusk. and like some others have pointed out, some people may actually finish playing maps before your lighting even presents itself.
DieKaiserschlacht 17 Mar, 2021 @ 2:22pm 
I do get that this is supposed to be a "time lapse" kind of mod, but honestly I think 99% of us just want that day night cycle feature which does do its job well in that regard. dynamically changing the way we play levels so familiar to us is such a breath of fresh air. seeing the usually lit hallways of the dead center hotel now being pitch black is a thrill to play through as with all the other maps, and the fact that this can work on ANY map including custom ones is just fantastic
DieKaiserschlacht 17 Mar, 2021 @ 2:18pm 
I do agree that it does go on for far too long, if there would be a way for us to change how long it takes for night time to actually start settling in that would be great
Proaxel 17 Mar, 2021 @ 1:15pm 
I'm not sure why my comments reporting problems with dedicated servers were deleted but whatever, if you can fix this to work properly on Dedicated Servers, and if it works for clients without needing them needing to download it, then this would be an awesome mod to have.
Altair 17 Mar, 2021 @ 1:03pm 
everything in the map just turns black except for the sky and that's it...
DieKaiserschlacht 17 Mar, 2021 @ 10:56am 
thank god, cuz this mod is fucking amazing man. can't wait to be able to play it with friends
devlos  [author] 17 Mar, 2021 @ 5:46am 
@7cyantropican I am aware , i have been working on a fix for a couple days. I got a breakthrough luckily and i am working on finalising and testing. This will fix the dedicated server problem & the issues helrika has presented.
Axel 16 Mar, 2021 @ 9:15pm 
In the map "The Sacrifice" there is a bug, the atmosphere looks strange
TheGamingVoid 16 Mar, 2021 @ 8:25pm 
awezome:steamhappy:

on dedicated server PLS
DieKaiserschlacht 16 Mar, 2021 @ 4:31pm 
not much of a "server" mod if it doesn't work on servers
DieKaiserschlacht 16 Mar, 2021 @ 4:28pm 
any update on getting this to work on dedicated servers
Phoenix‎ Rose 16 Mar, 2021 @ 3:54pm 
wait, 25 minutes? not gonna lie i finish most maps on Normal diff in like 12 to 15 minutes sometimes. so i feel like it should be reduced but maybe that's just me lol. i don't speedrun either, i take the time to make sure the survivor bots follow me nicely
