Sun & Moon Beams - 动态光束

制作这个模组的初衷是满足我个人的审美需求，我觉得环世界的光影表现不够理想，利用游戏现有资源做美化优化，不知不觉就打磨出了现在的光源效果 —— 虽然细节上还有点粗糙，但整体已经基本完工，现在分享出来给大伙看看吧。

如果出现光束突然不见了或频繁报错，可以下了模组加载一会游戏再上看看，或者把模组排序改一改，比如把本模组的排序往前放一放，本人的存档过了十年才发生了这个问题，不是能很好的修复，抱歉。

The original intention behind creating this mod was to meet my personal aesthetic needs. I felt that the lighting and shadow effects in RimWorld were not ideal, so I started working on visual enhancements by utilizing the game's existing resources. Unconsciously, I refined and polished it into the current lighting effect—though it may still be a bit rough in details, the overall work is basically complete. Now, I'd like to share it with everyone.

If the beam suddenly disappears or frequent errors occur, you can try unloading the mod, playing the game for a while, and then loading it again, or adjust the mod order, for example, move this mod's order forward a bit. In my case, this problem only occurred after more than ten years of my save file, and it cannot be well fixed, sorry.

主要特性： • 动态日月光束：太阳和月亮在天空移动时，光束角度与强度实时变化 • 新版光束（以下为Rimiris Beta兼容的新内容）：安装 RimIris 后自动启用基于后处理的新版光束，替代原版粒子光束，画质更细腻、性能影响较大（后续等待rimiris更新gpu渲染会好些。） • 光源接入（性能影响大，默认关闭，不建议开启）：游戏中的人造光源（灯、火把、篝火等）也能投射出光束，不再只有日月能发光 • 落点光晕：光束在地面形成柔和的圆形光晕，可调节半径与亮度 • 尘埃粒子：光束中漂浮的可见尘埃，增强体积感与空气感 • 天气耦合：雨天、雾天等天气会自然影响光束的可见度与强度 • 夜间光束：夜晚月光束独立开关与调节 • 32 项参数自由调节：分为「日月光束」「落点光晕」「尘埃」「光源接入」四个页面，强度、密度、柔和度到颜色染色，均可自定义

白天效果： 光束呈现温暖的色调，与阳光相得益彰，角度随时间从东向西自然移动

夜晚效果： 光束变为冷色调，如月光般柔和，延续白天的角度变化逻辑

兼容性：

• 纯视觉模组，不影响游戏机制
• 兼容Tilt the Planet! - Realism Overhaul
• 兼容Rimiris Beta（新版带尘埃光束）

注意事项：

• 光束为视觉效果，不提供实际照明，没有亮度
• 工坊图片和第一张图片皆为适配Rimiris的新版光束（图片中只有光束部分是本模组内容），第二张图片才是原版Fleck光束
• 接入光源会很影响性能，默认关闭

版本历史： v1.0.0 - 初始发布

• 从Aurora Lights重命名为Sun & Moon Beams （此版本为模拟极光效果，而如今的版本是模拟太阳与月亮的光线，虽然是同一种光线，偷笑<：）

未来计划：

• 让光束长时间存在，而不是短时间内一瞬而过（已完成）
• 早中晚颜色变化（完成）
• 高度角更加显眼智能
• 等待rimiris出云影再让落点不随机，有参考物

Key Features

• Dynamic Sun & Moon Beams: Beam angle and intensity shift in real time as the sun and moon travel across the sky. • New Beam (compatible with Rimiris Beta): Installing RimIris automatically enables the new post-processing beam, replacing the original particle beam. It looks nicer, but hits performance harder (future RimIris updates should make GPU rendering run smoother). • Light Source Integration(Big hit on performance, off by default, not recommended to turn on): Artificial light sources in-game (lamps, torches, campfires, and more) can cast beams too; the sun and moon are no longer the only ones that shine. • Light Pool: Beams leave soft circular glows on the ground, with adjustable radius and brightness. • Dust Particles: Visible dust drifting within the beams, adding volume and atmosphere. • Weather Coupling: Conditions like rain and fog naturally affect beam visibility and intensity. • Night Beams: Independent toggle and controls for moon beams after dark. 32 Fully Adjustable Parameters: Organized across four pages — Sun Beams, Light Pool, Dust, and Light Sources — everything from intensity, density, and softness to color tinting is fully customizable.

Daytime Effect: Beams display warm tones, complementing sunlight, with angles naturally shifting from east to west over time

Nighttime Effect: Beams shift to cool tones, soft like moonlight, following the same angular variation logic as daytime

Compatibility:

• Purely visual mod, does not affect game mechanics

• Compatible with Tilt the Planet! - Realism Overhaul

• Compatible with Rimiris Beta（The new version with dust beams）

Notes:

• The beams are just for visual effect, they don't actually light up anything and have no brightness
• The workshop pic and the first image both show the new Rimiris beam (only the beam part in the pic is from this mod), the second image is the original Fleck beam
• Light Source Integration can really affect performance, so it's off by default

Version History: v1.0.0 - Initial release

• Renamed from Aurora Lights to Sun & Moon Beams (This version simulated the aurora effect, while the current version simulates sunlight and moonlight, though it's the same kind of light, hehe <:)

Future plans:

• Make the beams last a long time instead of disappearing in an instant (done)
• Change colors in the morning, noon, and evening (done)
• Make the elevation angle more noticeable and smart
• Wait for Rimiris to produce a cloud shadow before making the landing point non-random, with a reference object
