[Request] Is it possible to have the flashlight always on? (Anywhere to Donate?)

[tsr22]

I know this is more of a game issue, but is there anyway to add an option where the flashlight is always on? You guys have done an amazing job, anywhere to donate?

use console command flashlight_batteryDrainTimeMS -1

flashlight will never run out of power

[tsr22]

For me it seems to reset its state when I interact with buttons etc. Then I have to turn it back on. I didn't even notice that power was an issue with the BFG version - will check into that, thanks!

[tsr22]

Won't come on at all with that setting :/

[AerowynX]

Try like 999999 instead of -1

Rgr -- I ended up doing:

flashlight_batteryChargeTimeMS "1"  //Longer time to simulate battery changes
flashlight_batteryDrainTimeMS "9999999999999999"    //More realistic flashlight_batteryChargeTimeMS

Seems to be working well - thanks for pointing me in the right direction :) Though I realize that may be ridiculously long, was being careful heh

Still occasionally seems to turn off on its own when focus is taken away from the weapon (I am using the flashlight on the weapon). I.E. interacting with consoles, buttons etc.

Does it do it if you mount it on your head?

I'll try here in a bit, though it takes a while sometimes to happen on the gun, so maybe the same for the head. Will update when I have something.

[tsr22]

Update: Head is doing the trick, hasn't turned off yet on its own.

*I guess cutscenes seem to turn off the flashlight in general. Not sure if fixable or not :/

cool deal

I've been trying to avoid options that completely change gameplay from the way it was originally intended - I'll think about this a little bit. Anyone else have any thoughts?
