Torch

Fixed flickering of reflections when using Screen Space Reflections

Added a Shadowmap Caching system
Improved accuracy for Occlusion Culling of Spotlights
Added new console commands for Torch and removed some that are no longer used

Fixed a few null pointers
Fixed a memory leak

Fixed some console errors due to being near Trader Jen's POI
Fixed console errors when using Alter's Picture in Picture Scope mod
Fixed flashing when within a light and something causes the light's cached shadowmap requiring an update

Torch should be more robust when it comes to dealing with light that get destroyed or lights that aren't actually lights
Fixes for console errors due to Cop Cars and their lights

Removed pointlights that cast no shadows from having their shadows cached, this lowers VRAM usage. Do note that this does mean that light leakage for these lights can happen due to the Specular Highlight with reflections on
Fixed rare occurrences where lights cached shadowmaps would be improperly rendered
Fixed crashing if Torch is installed on the server accidently. Remember Torch only needs to be installed on the client

Grass and other plants now will be lit by Torch when the player is outside a point light's range
Gears Support has been added to enable Mod settings for Torch

Adds a new Shadow Cascade setting so you limit how many Shadow Cascades there are(currently the options are 2 and 4).  Requires Gears to access this setting
Further refinement of the Plant and Grass shaders, they now are affected by the light source's cookie, leading to less light bleed through
Fixed a bug that caused lights to cast the wrong color on Plants and Grasses

Cached Shadowmap Lights will now be affected by subsurface scattering on plants and grass
Implemented a more advance light culling algorithm for the Forward Plus rendering
Optimized the Grass and Plant shaders a bit
Fixed Specular Highlights not showing on lights using cached shadow maps
Added support for OpenGL(GLCore) and Vulkan. It is recommended to use DX11 still

Added support for multi camera rendering. This means support for Alter's Picture in Picture Scope mod and support for turret, motion cameras, etc, camera view
Added a distance based priority for determining which shadow maps to use for Torch rendered lights on Grass and Plants
Added a Pixel Light Count setting for the unity real time rendered lights on Grass and Plants
Fixed some of the light bleeding from the unity real time rendered lights. If you notice any light bleeding, it is suggested to increase the Pixel Light Count setting if you don't want any light bleeding.
Fixed an issue for the Torch rendered Pixel Light shadow count setting not properly updating in game. You no longer need to restart the game for the new setting to take affect
Fixed an issue for the Torch rendered Pixel Light shadow count setting not properly updating in game. You no longer need to restart the game for the new setting to take affect

Added Screen Space Real Time Global Illumination with 3 quality settings - By default Real Time Global Illumination is turned off. Gears is required for the settings
Fixed an issue causing lights to be considered occluded when they are visible and should be considered visible
Fixed Torch rendered lights having a larger radius than their vanilla counter parts. There should be almost no difference in the frame if Torch is on or off
Fixed Torch rendered lights edges rendering as hard edges instead of soft

Updated to work with the 1.0 Release of 7 Days to Die

Fixed Screen Space Real Time Global Illumination is not being off by default if Gears is not installed. To turn it on, Gears is required.
Fixed console error if using the Torch Shadowmap res command and not including a resolution size
Fixed the Torch Shadowmap res command being case sensitive

Fixed issues with FSR
Fixed some lights not properly lighting up their environment when rendering the cached shadow maps

Updated to work with 7 Days to Die v1.2
Fixed an issue where the shadowmap caching wouldn't work if the client was not the host in multiplayer

Fixed FSR not properly upscaling with Torch installed
Improved ghosting on grass when FSR is enabled

Fixed ghosting on Grass when FSR is enabled or DLSS is enabled (via the DLSS mod)
Added support for OCBPrettyGrass

Fixed lights not being on if vanilla occlusion culling setting is turned off if outside of range of the light

Updated to 7 Days to Die v2.0

Added a new way to render the lights with shadowmaps, it is labeled as the deferred plus in the settings. It might increase performance when there are many cached shadowmap lights on screen.

Fixed lights not rendering correctly if Deferred+ is enabled and ADSing
Fixed lights not rendering on secondary cameras if Deferred+ is enabled

Fixed an issue with rendering the shadowmaps on the deferred+ if you changed the shadowmap resolutions in game
Fixed an issue with shadowmaps weren't be cached with the light shadows being on
Lowered the amount of priority lights, so there should be less light change updates per frame
Changed the default shadowmap resolution from medium to low. There shouldn't be a noticable change in image quality
A few shader optimizations for the deferred+ render pass

Fluctuating and Pulsing Point lights are now supported by the shadowmap caching system
Changed the Max Pixel Light Shadowmaps setting to be a slider instead of a selector in Gears
Fixed some lights not casting shadows if players got up close to them
