RELit is a powerful tool to create spotlight and pointlights in RE powered games. Please read the requirements and how to install it.
RELit was written by Originalnicodr and Otis_inf.
Special thanks go to alphaZomega for the assistance and praydog for REFramework.
At the time of writing the supported games are Devil May Cry 5, Monster Hunter Rise, Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village, but we would expect future Capcom games that run on the RE Engine and are supported by REFramework to work as well.
RELit depends on the REFramework by praydog. You need to download the REFramework version for your game, here (currently using the nightly builds, for a stable version go here). Go to the latest release and then click the .zip file for the game you want to use RELit with. For more information about REFramework, visit the project repository.
Please visit the Releases to get the latest release.
After downloading the REFramework zip for your game, unpack that zip into a folder. Then copy only the dinput8.dll file and place
it in the game's folder, where the exe is. So e.g. in the case of DMC5, you download the DMC5.zip from the REFramework releases,
unpack it into a folder, and then copy the dinput8.dll file to the DMC5 game folder, which is <steam folder>\common\Devil May Cry 5
After you've installed the REFramework dll (the dinput8.dll), you can install the RELit mod into the game folder.
Simply copy the reframework folder from the RELit zip into the game's folder (the same one into which you placed the dinput8.dll).
The default key to open the REFramework gui is the Insert key. If you use the Otis_Inf cameras you'd like to rebind this key in REFramework
to another key, e.g. scroll lock. When the REFramework GUI is open, go to configuration and rebind the menu key there, by clicking Menu key
and then press the key you want to use, e.g. scroll lock, to open the REFramework gui.
When the REFramework GUI is open, click on Script Generated UI, and you'll see the Show RELit UI checkbox. Checking it will open the
RELit window. It has an initial width and height, you can resize it which will be remembered for the next sessions.
After you've opened the RELit GUI, you can create lights, manage scene lights and use the tonemapper features.
In the RELit GUI, click open Lights to create custom lights. To create a light, click on the Add new spotlight or Add new pointlight buttons to create
a light of that type. The light is created at the position of the camera. To edit light characteristics, click on the Edit button next to the light in the
list of lights, which appears after creating a light. To delete a light, click on the Delete button.
You can also disable the light by clicking the checkbox next to its name.
The lights can also be moved to the camera position again by clicking Move to camera, or be tied to the camera by checking the Attach to camera checkbox.
You can also copy a light's property into another light by clicking the Copy button.
When you click to open the Scene Lights header, you can obtain the current scene lights by clicking the Update scene lights button. After you've done that
you can switch the currently switched on lights off with the new Switch off scene lights button. After you've done that you have to switch the lights
back on with the Switch scene lights back on button before you can obtain the scene lights again.
Do take in mind that, at least the way we manage to make this work for now, if you turn off the lights and turn them on again, their intensity will increase.
Also, not all emitting lights are lights we can control. So the elements that are left that emit lights are elements that are other elements than lights and we can't control them being switched on/off, sadly.
To work with lights in a more consistent way you can turn off the Auto exposure and edit it yourself by going to the Tonemapping section in RELit and using the relevant setting there.
For detailed information about the function of each light parameter and visual comparisons using sliders when modifying them, please refer to the guide available on the framed site.
