Better FaceLight & Conversation
Redux

Purpose
What's the point of installing mods to make the game and NPCs more beautiful if you can't enjoy them?
Indoor conversations are often in the dark especially if you are using a lighting mod or ENB preset.
BDL Redux will help you get the most out of your mods by illuminating your character, your followers and even the NPCs you are chatting with.
Why
I always liked Face Light SE by tktk1 and the conversation auto toggle feature from Facelight Plus by gundershot but I was not satisfied. Even if Face light SE is a great mod, from my point of view it lacks of customization about light colors and Facelight Plus is well-known to often leads to CTD when conversation ends.
I redone my BFL mod because, even if it solved the CTD problems, I didn't like the result, especially the conversation mode and the face to face mode.
This new version uses less scripts to get the same result and looks better.
Features
- Choose between 4 Light tint (2600K, 3200K, 5400K and 7000K, reddish/warmer to bluesish/coldest ) configurable to match your enb / taste (all light share same tint as same time).
- Choose between 3 level of intensity independently for each type of Enlightenment (Followers, Player, conversation).
- Choose between two kind of lighting, direct like Face light SE, or undirect which is closer to photography technique (by default).
- Max light level setting to disable enlightenment in lighted area to avoid over lighted NPCs (150 is very bright day, 120 normal sunny day etc...)
- Conversation Auto-toggle with no CTD ;).
- Support until five followers (perfomance sake limitation), aim your follower, open the MCM, add it, done !
- Auto-sneak Auto-toggle (Player and follower)
- Auto light off in First PoV to avoid the lighthouse effect.
- Auto switch Between First person / Third person view ()
- Auto Zoom (toggleable and configurable) Mini-traveling to mimic old face to face mod effect, as I don't use SKSE plugin, it is very simple (no auto follow), should be compatible with everything (even with camera mod)
- Manual Zoom Use Left CTRL during dialogue to zoom and Left Alt to reset position (configurable in MCM)
I'm open to suggestion, if you ask kindly and if I can do it (will and time).
FAQ
Sometimes it doesn't zoom :
- If NPCs use a crafting furniture, it is normal, these one are ignored to avoid weird camera placement.
- NPCs can be too far from player, detection failed because it is capped to 300 for performance & stability sake
- Zoom can be blocked if an object interferes with it.
Sometimes during conversation NPCs are not lighted:
- In rare occasion, it fails to detect conversation start
- NPCs can be too far from player, detection failed because it is capped to 300 for performance & stability sake
- Often it is due to Max light level setting, you can check easily by opening console, click on NPC and type getlightlevel if it is superior to the settings set in MCM it is a normal behavior.
Notes
- Be wary when you play with followers settings, it is best to do that when they are not in same cell as you. Sadly, I can't totally avoid all CTDs in this situation.
- You can notice that your character light environment when you are close to it. It is unavoidable, all face lighting mods share this problem, I soften this problem as max I can do by reducing the radius of the light.
- When remove a NPCs from the list, his light effect will be removed at next cell load (Anti-ctd).
- Light effect is reapplied when you change Cell as followers could lost it.
- If you lose player control during the traveling, I included an option to restore your control, it happens only one time during my testing (alt-tabbed during the traveling). Player will be teleport where the conversation start, be wary when you use this.
- Nearly all my mods can be updated on the fly, no need of a new save.
- Old BFL user can update safely
