¶ INSTALLATION
Open the downloaded ZIP product file and drop the folder in it somewhere in your resources folder. Add your product key (get it here) to the settings.ini file and add start BigDaddy-Blackout to your server.cfg.
DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER.
If you change the name of the folder it will not function correctly so leave the name as it is.
If you are using vMenu, you must disable dynamic weather and blackouts because they will interfere with this script and cause it to only flicker and not actually go black.
This blackout script DOES NOT blackout vehicle lights or emergency lights. They will still continue to function. The glow around them is lessened just because of the game, but the lights still work on vehicles.
¶ CONFIGURATION
There are only a few settings.
