Let there be light

The game is so incredibly dark and torches and the lighter fail to remedy this. While I usually loathe when games make nights excessively light, Endnight went a little too hard on the night realism and at times it feels unplayable. This is intended to be a CAVE & NIGHT mod but it also looks fine for rummaging through the forest during the day. A bit drab, but that's intentional, so you don't sear your eyeballs if you forget to toggle it off while exiting a cave or opening your inventory. 

I personally recommend toggling it off during the day as the vanilla game looks quite nice and this will make it much more drab. 

My in-game brightness level is set to 75% and Gamma at 50%

My screens are Samsung Q60 55″ TV & an Acer Nitro 2022 and I have them set with mildly elevated contrast.
