Hey! Another plugin of yours that I love.  I was using Community Lighting but all of the extra features was just making it cumbersome so I went with yours but the only thing I liked about CL was that I was able to get lights brighter.  Is there any way to brighten the lights? Would it be just trying to brighten the lighting images?

And one thing I wanted to point out that isn't necessarily a bug but it can cause the game to 'crash' and there is no mention of the reason in the documentation or wiki to make sure that people know how to avoid it.  The first scene when I used it crashed the game the first time I loaded it.  The error was about not being able to get the _opacity of unnamed I think.  May not be exact wording as I don't want to make it crash to get the exact wording haha  For some reason I wanted to change the id/name of that Lighting Effect and then it worked.  Then a few maps later I made a new Lighting Effect and the same thing happened.  The only change I made that fixed it the first time was I went from House Fires to HouseFires.  Made it one word instead of two with a space.  On the second map when it crashed it was a map in the sewers and Sewer Lights was crashing but realizing that what fixed it the first time was the name change so I changed it the ID to SewerLights and no crash and was working again.   Shoot..I just realized that I have an ID of Night Vision Goggles...3 words with two spaces and that one doesn't crash.  I don't know if it would just be safest to make sure the ID is just one word even if you turn multiple words into one.  Or perhaps there is something else that caused the error and doing the same thing twice somehow fixed it.

Quick edit/update:  There is another difference I just realized when I checked to see why the ID with three words and two spaces worked.  I don't know if it would be the difference between working and not but Night Vision Goggles is used as a Player Light and therefore is initialized by the player light plugin command whereas the two that crashed were called through comment tag method.

Hi, yes the comment only looks at the first word after the text "CGMZ LE" you cannot use spaces in the comment.

Also, to make the images brighter you should import brighter images from your image editor. You could also try changing the Blend Mode of the light.
