SFM Light Limit Patch

This is a patch for the shadowed light limit in Source Filmmaker.

It allows you to have more than 8 shadowed lights in a scene.

Installation

Choose one of the following methods:

• Install from the Steam Workshop.
• Clone the GitHub repository into your SourceFilmmaker/game/ directory and add the folder to your gameinfo.txt file.
• Download the script as a raw *.py file and place it into SourceFilmmaker/game/usermod/scripts/sfm/mainmenu/KiwifruitDev/ (create the folders if they don't exist).

Usage

• Launch Source Filmmaker.
• At the top, click Scripts > KiwifruitDev > Light Limit Patch.
• When the dialog appears, enter the desired light limit.
• Please read the warning before clicking OK.
• Once applied, your new limit will be active.

Known Issues

Using high -sfm_shadowmapres values such as 8192 can cause SFM to crash with a high amount of lights.

This can be mitigated by using a lower -sfm_shadowmapres value when increasing the light limit.

Testing is very limited, so if you encounter any issues, please report them on the issues page.
