GETTING STARTED
After installing the mod and loading the game open up IED's UI and navigate to "View>Display manager" and then "View>Custom items".
Choose the player/NPC and apply the preset you want to use.
Hotkey functionality, by default, works this way.
- One press to force enable the lights.
- Two presses to force disable the lights.
- One more press to revert back to default conditions.
To use a hotkey, go to "Tools>Key bindings" and apply the preset below:

Wearable lantern on horseback: By default, the lantern display is set up to be disabled when riding, but there's a display for horses too.
In the UI, apply the preset "LOn - Wearable Lantern (Horse)" to the horse.
Then, navigate "View>Variables" and apply the preset "LOn - Lantern".
This is necessary to load items from the player's inventory in another actor, the horse in this case.
