There are maps (especially the new ones) that have a lot of lights and worsen performance like:
The White House, Henry's **Cock**, Black cat, etc...
Well this is where this mod comes in, it reduces the lights on various maps **WITHOUT losing much quality**.
(literally on some maps I got a boost of 10-15 fps)
Being a person who has a terrible pc since 2012 this helps a lot. (**Intel HD 4000** xd)
-----
Here is the list of maps that this mod touches
**Silk Road (Mex):**
||* Border Crossing
* San Martin Bank
* ~~Breakfast in Tijuana~~ (I had to remove it because it is broken)
* Buluc's Mansion||
**City of Gold (SF):**
||* Dragon heist
* Ukrainian Prisoner
* Black Cat
* Mountain Master||
**Payday 2 Legacy Collection:**
||* ~~Alesso Heist~~ (I had to remove it because it is broken)
* Reservoir Dogs (I'm still not sure if it affects day 1)
* Brooklyn Bank
* Brooklyn 10-10
**(Honestly I have no idea if it gives anything in performance, I don't see the difference)**
* Beneath the Mountain
* Shacklethorne Auction
* Henry's Rock
* The White House **(Install [Celer](https://pd2mods.z77.fr/celer.html) and activate this map in options, it should help a lot)**
* Golden Grin Casino
* The Diamond
* Hoxton Revenge **(Same as b10-10)**
* Diamond Heist
* No Mercy||

And in case anyone asks, this mod is partially compatible with [DX11 Shaders Fix SuperBLT Edition](https://modworkshop.net/mod/14938). __Read known issues for more information.__
Also if you don't like the lighting of X map you can simply remove the lines in the **Core.lua** file. (There is a comment so you know how to identify it)
**Known issues (09/02/23):**
|| * [DX11 Shaders Fix SuperBLT Edition](https://modworkshop.net/mod/14938) generates some darkness in some specific areas, like the part of **Shacklethorne's vault**,
**The Diamond** puzzle area,
**Ukrainian Prisoner** some areas when you escort vlad,
**Black Cat** casino area.
* Certain props do **not load/half load** because the file that manages the lights also contains models of headlights or similar things.
**Maps where it shows a lot: Dragon Heist alley, Black Cat escape heliport ladder, bathroom doors**
* **"Black Cat"** some stretched or deformed textures in various areas
__(I have not been able to verify this if it is due to the mod or my graphic driver)__

The reason this mod exists is that I don't want my game to look like a **PS game** for more performance.
Finally thanks to [Dr_Newbie](https://modworkshop.net/user/7573) for making the code I only adapted it to these maps and this is the reason why I didn't include **Hell's Island**, if you want a mod that optimizes that map use [Hell's Island Less Light](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29454) or [Hell's Island Disable Light / No Light](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29451)
**__v1.01__ I'm dumb and forgot to test if it worked on some maps... bruh**
* Removed code from **The Alesso Heist** and **Breakfast in Tijuana** maps because they are broken. ~~I'll see if I can fix that.~~
* Fix the description a bit
* **Added Hoxton Revenge**
* **Added Brooklyn 10-10**
