Quoted from MikeS:The mod looks really cool and appears to be well made but isn't anyone else concerned about how it effects gameplay and your ability to quickly determine what is lit? My eyes are trained on the colors of the current sign and I can tell what is lit on a quick glance. This might be too distracting or require you to actually stare at the sign to determine what is lit or unlit because of all of the lighting effects taking place. Cosmetically the mod looks great but I'd be interested more in the usability.
Great feedback, and I 100 percent agree!
What I would say is that the neon animation was designed so that it only fires when there is a change in state, meaning that it should actually alert you only when something needs to be done. Each of the characters can also be configured to whatever color you like, so if you're used to the existing colors, you can reproduce that. I've really tried to think about these details. I definitely don't want there to be a loss in gameplay. That's not what I'm about.
Just out to dinner with my family so will respond properly soon. Thanks so much for the overwhelming response, I'm humbled!
