No muzzle flash

[DigitalHuman]

I need a mod that will reduce or completely eliminate the muzzle flash. I am a bit photosensitive. I am ok as long as I do not have flashing lights such as muzzle flashing.

You can do that in the weapon '.meta' files. Search them for 'FlashFx' & you'll find various values to edit:

Example:

          <Fx>
            <EffectGroup>WEAPON_EFFECT_GROUP_SHOTGUN</EffectGroup>
            <FlashFx>muz_shotgun</FlashFx>
            <FlashFxAlt />
            <MuzzleSmokeFx>muz_smoking_barrel_shotgun</MuzzleSmokeFx>
			<MuzzleSmokeFxFP>muz_smoking_barrel_fp</MuzzleSmokeFxFP>
            <MuzzleSmokeFxMinLevel value="0.300000" />
            <MuzzleSmokeFxIncPerShot value="0.100000" />
            <MuzzleSmokeFxDecPerSec value="0.200000" />
            <ShellFx>eject_shotgun</ShellFx>
			<ShellFxFP>eject_shotgun_fp</ShellFxFP>
            <TracerFx>bullet_shotgun_tracer</TracerFx>
            <PedDamageHash>ShotgunLarge</PedDamageHash>
            <TracerFxChanceSP value="1.000000" /> 
            <TracerFxChanceMP value="0.750000" />
            <FlashFxChanceSP value="1.000000" /> <!-- try set to 0.000000 -->

            <FlashFxLightCastsShadows value="false" />
            <FlashFxLightOffsetDist value="0.000000" />

            <FlashFxLightFalloffMinMax x="1024.000000" y="1536.000000" />

Most original non-dlc weapons (including some vehicle weapons, Lazer, Buzzard, Hunter, Rhino etc) are in a 'weapons.meta' here:

...\mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\ai\weapons.meta

There are also other dlc & such weapon data files dotted about the game (use OpenIV's Ctrl+F3 Search to find them by name):
