QuoteMinor Update
- New option: Camera Throttling (default off)
- Experimental. As an attempt to reduce fps impact of Brightness in day raids, when the ambience is bright, the That's Lit camera is only enabled every some other frames.
- Theoretically, it lowers the accuracy of measurement against light sources, but maybe it's not much of a difference when the environment is bright enough.
- Reminder: Brightness fps cost varies a lot from machine to machine. Some say 3 fps, while some say 20 which would clearly benefit from this option.

Announcement
The next SPT update (3.10) will be the last version where That's Lit gets updated with best effort.
That's Lit won't go away, and it may still receive updates, just not at the same pace as usual.
That wraps up the announcement. Below is just me blabbering a textwall (as usual), nothing important for using the mod.
What happened?
Since the first day of That's Lit back in SPT 3.6 days, updates and fixes were usually delivered within days or hours. I also answer almost every question. (For compliments and appreciation, though, I usually only emote, just because I'm very socially awkward).
It's fair to say I worked hard on it, there were days I just don't sleep at all (Willingly. I had fun for sure).
Apparently this costs a lot of time and effort...
As I've mentioned a bit before, I'm a Jobless Tarnished (or Unemployed Dude, if you don't speak Elden Ring). Since being burnt out in my previous job I've been enjoying my time playing and creating, while assisting with taking care of my grandma who has severe Dementia.
Besides That's Lit, I've created a bunch of smaller mods for The Long Dark and some minor or private projects.
It's a fun time, and it's only possible because I have savings to burn and plenty of time to spare. Unfortunately this can't go on forever.
Blatantly speaking, I merely own about 1500 USD now, not like I'm going to starve tomorrow but it's fair to say I'm broke as an adult.
For my projects, I always feel the responsibility to be as transparent as possible, so here we go:
I started to accept donations in April, and received in total of about 240 USD from 14 people. The last donation was in July. There's 1 active subscription (Man, if you see this, consider canceling it for now).
240 is a generous amount! There are many developers doing respectable stuff and don't get anything in return. I'm super lucky to have people donating for That's Lit, and I'm super grateful.
The amount really is HUGE. It's just that life costs more
Gotta move on, get a job, maybe start a new chapter in life!
What's next?
To be honest, I'm not very confident!
I've worked as a generalist, like... I participated in tech evaluation & prototyping, Unity development, backend server development, and even blockchain stuff.
Like... my previous upper management really wanted me to stay, so I'm at least somewhat useful, right?
But that's about it, I am probably a good junior but hardly to be qualified as a senior.
The good news is I recently acquired JLPT N1... hope that I can get a go(lang) or .NET developer job and move to Japan, which is somewhere I've really wanted to go and stay.
And... I guess that's it, thanks for reading all this awkward nonsense.
I happened to be listening to my favorite music in the meantime, so why wouldn't I share it?
It's toe - Goodbye. I've listened to the song for many many times. Hope you like it too.
Is a new "lit sync" plugin also needed?
No. Don't need to worry about this until something does not work.
6B47 Ratnik-BSh helmet i think this one, i can go test them all if you want.
Should be fixed now. Thanks for the heads up. This is a very important find!

QuoteImportant Bugfixs
- Fix devices attached on helmets are ignored
- Fix devices detection does not work without an active weapon
- Fix invalid content in default.thatslitcompat.json which has been stopping most of the devices from being loaded for months
- Fix reversed brightness scaling by distance (it was the 100%->50% from 100m to 10m, should be 100%->50% from 10m to 100m)
- Add toggles for individual mechanics. These were made for debugging, usually you don't touch these
- Minor changes and improvements
Notes (Regular)
- If you are new to the mod, at least read "Recommend Mods" for proper setup.
- That's Lit is not a No Bush ESP mod. It works with any No Bush ESP. It does not interact with any No Bush ESP. When in doubt, read the mod explanation.
- Performance cost mainly comes from the Brightness module. The mod still do a lot of stuff even if you turn off Brightness for performance.
- If bots are acting blind when blocked or touched by any bush, even if you are like 2 meters away, that comes from SAIN. SAIN's new No Bush ESP is very aggressive by design. (Read Recommended Mods - SAIN to partially solve this)
Hello, i tested bots in night time factory and i found that, flashlights mounted on helmets doesn't affect bots. I can run with flashlight on and they don't see me at all. I tested it with Xc1, X400, LAS/tac.
What helmet?

Thank You
If something is free yet you still pay for it, it gotta be valuable for you, isn't it?
Since April, I've received several donations, including the first ever of my life. Every time it happens I still feels very lucky and surprised that people are willing to donate for my creation.
The money is indeed very helpful, yet to think about the fact people donated because they think That's Lit deserves it... This feeling, is SWEET. It's all I've been wanted to do but failed, to actually make somethings that actually make a good difference for its users.
For everyone who donated and also anyone gave kind words, thank you very much

3371 added a new version:
QuoteRegular Update
- New: Force Look (Experimental, Enabled by default)
- Tell the nearest bot to look around when conditions met.
- Bots are quite vulnerable around corners, because they don't clear corners before moving out. It's usually very easy to wait and take down bots behind corners, as most bots just look straight forward while moving. SAIN can't fix this entirely because it only takes over when bots are in combat.
- This is technically an ESP, but with strict conditions, in hope so they would look to player when it makes sense, to fake smarter bots.
- For example, one of the scenario is:
- The bot have seen the player in the last 10 second and is trying to get the player
- The bot is moving but not sprinting
- The bot is inside
- The bot is very close (1~5m)
- 5% chance check passed
- A special scenario that is not telling the bot to look at the player, but to look to random direction, and then turn back after seconds:
- The bot is not sprinting
- The bot hasn't seen its enemy for 10 seconds
- These conditions are checked on FixedUpdate, which is every 0.0167 second.
- Due to how SAIN constantly steer bots, when SAIN is in control, this feature at most add noises to the nearest bots steering.
- Fix dodgy issues that have been stopping That's Lit to load for some users.
- Fix not nerfing Encountering Patch when the player is already the bot's goal enemy.
- Fix nearest bot variable shared by all players which may leads to issues.
- Fix Streets ambience factor by time.
- Use semi-random angles for Simulated Focus, so all angles between +-90 degree are possible (all angles stepped by 3, shuffled).
- Use caution in Encountering Patch and Simulated Focus so impacts are varied from bot to bot.
- SAINNoBushOverride: Use cubed chance instead of squared chance so it's less likely to trigger from further.
- New PMC Only Mode option. The requested option makes That's Lit only modify vision/reaction of PMCs.
- Fix detecting XHP35's 2nd visible light.
- Minor fixes, changes, improvements.

- Start using Update Notifier
- New: (Optional) Interrupt SAIN's No Bush ESP, disabled by default.
- Interrupts No Bush ESP for bots close to the player by a chance based on the distance, so bots are less likely to be blind when you are right in front of them just because you are touching leaves
- It has its limits, expect sometimes get shoot through bushes (at close range).
- DO NOT REPORT BUSH ESP ISSUE TO SAIN IF YOU HAVE THIS ON
- New: Randomize blind fire target points for bots at 15+m away. Strength scaled by distance.
- Because I got shot in the face at RUAF Gate by a bot BLIND FIRING at the sawmill. It's very rare bots blind fire at this distance, I just want to make sure no bullshit when they do.
- Nerf bush ratting in winter raids
- Revert actual ADS check to simulated bot ADS as bots don't aim around like players
- Minor tweaks
Notes
Just want to share my Death Wish + Realism experience:
With Bot Hard Cap enabled (DONUTS), It's doable. Bot Hard Cap allows bots to be randomly distributed across the map, thus hot or chill raid is totally determined by your luck and decision.
Of course, every encounter is a showdown. If I don't dash to covers immediately when I am shot at, I die. If I linger around open spots, I die. If I don't stay alerted about any sounds, I die. If I recklessly move out of cover, I die.
It's very interesting because the experience varies a lot and is quite dynamic. Super chill sometimes when everyone is somewhere else, but very intense when I encounter anyone.Notes (Regular)

Update Notifier
A minimal plugin that allow modders to remind players to update.
The mod does nothing on its own. It won't automatically check updates for all your mods.
The mod does not download mods for you. I don't want any possibility it downloads a virus for you.
For Players
- The mod is disabled by default, please read the options before enable it.
- When a mod request to check update, A dialog pops out asking you to permit Update Notifier to download version info from a url provided by the mod.
- For you own safety, please carefully read the dialog, it clearly tells you which mod is requesting what URL.
- If you agree, the mod+url combination will be added to whitelist, as long as it's the same mod requesting the same url, Update Notifier won't bother you again.
- Then, Update Notifier will download from the url and read the version string in it, and tells you when it's newer than what you got.
- (While the version file is unlikely to harm you because Update Notifier only reads text, malicious servers can collect your IP like how ad company or sort do in web pages)
For Modders
Client Mods
Check how That's Lit call Update Notifier with Reflection to use it while being not depending on it.
You need to provide the .update_notifier file somewhere on the internet. It's recommended to included it in your project repo and use the raw file link.
Server Mods
You need to place an .update_notifier_source file next to your package.json. The content is simply the url to the online .update_notifier file.
Notes
- Content of the .update_notifier file must be smaller than 16 bytes. This is more than enough for any semantic version string.
- Url must starts with "https://" and ends with ".update_notifier".

QuoteDisplay MoreRegular Update
ThatsLit-Release.dll is recently renamed to ThatsLit.Core.dll. You may want to clean up the old ThatsLit-Release.dll. (SPT always load latest dll it found, but why not?)
- New: Simulated Vision Focus for bots.
- I was quite worried the new Peripheral Vision thing in SAIN will makes bots super dumb when stacked with That's Lit. It turns out not so bad, as That's Lit does not directly scale SeenCoef by angles like SAIN does, so there's no direct overlap.
- However, bots are indeed a bit too focused looking ahead. As an alternative balanced approach to address this, That's Lit now simulate bots eyeballing around without actual turning. Let's just say now they periodically look into a random angle and perform small scan near that angle.
- Depends on the difference of angle to you in the vision and their focus angle, their reaction is modified by +-25%.
- Hopefully, this allows bots to react to players in peripheral vision, while limiting them to only pay attention to one angle at a time.
- Angle is now factored in the impact of "Distance to Last Seen Position". If you run straight away in a bot's vision, it won't provide benefits because it's still at a same angle. Similar change is applied to Encountering Patch.
- Raise base darkness in winter outdoor.
- Fix terrain details decreasing Brightness score too much in very dense grasses.
- Fix WF-501B modes.
- Calibration works (Reserve, Interchange, Shoreline).
- Minor changes and balancing.
Notes
- Recommended Mods - SWAG+DONUTS is updated. I wasn't aware of the mentioned options, thus as a full Realism user I had trouble keeping up with frequent engagements. With the options ticked it's much better now.
- I'm trying out Death Wish (SAIN), it seems like if I don't do any stupid shit, I can survive. (Note: It still make sure I gets destroyed in no time if I make wrong decision)
