Lighting + HDRI LightAssistant

Hey better late than never right! LOL. Love that you did get around to adding more disco customization! I will say a bit of it is still kinda confusing in the new UI, I'm not sure if there's like... a way to control how intense the brightness of the disco lights are? None of the four sliders seem to affect brightness and the disco lights also seem to ignore any settings from the other tab such as the global brightness slider. The neon color palette also seems to ignore the color saturation slider for some reason.

Speaking of color pallete's, would be awesome too to have the ability to make our own color palettes, noticed how there's a strobe effect in those that's only available in white, and again would be nice to maybe adjust it so that it's not entirely pitch black to full bright but maybe something in between and also changing the color of the white strobe to maybe red, green or blue.

Anyways an amazing and long awaited update that already opens up a lot more fun lighting options and look forward to using this more!

Edit: also is there a way to disable the plugin from affecting specific lights on scene load? It seems that in a scene I just made, where I have a volumetric ambient light, when the scene loads it appears to rescan the scene for all lights including that one and adds it to the controlled lights and overrides its settings.

Hey Charlestone :
thank you so much yeah for some reason several messages hadnt popped up(in the alerts section.) and i had been so focused on Animatis and the other plugins. but now im at it again and im already working on an update for this that will be released shortly, thanks too your feedback and im testing it now. if everything is stable il release it soon as possible.

Does this plugin still reposition Directional Lights along with all other scene lighting?

For the most part I quite like the direction of this plugin, but this one thing bothers me and makes it such that I can't leave it loaded in Scene Plugins for a saved scene; if I do, then upon reload my "sun" light is suddenly out of position due to the plugin forcing it somewhere. Not to mention it does that anyways if I simply hit the "reposition" button. Directionals obviously make really big changes on a scene's overall lighting in any outdoor case, and can affect things indoors too, so I feel like they should be intentional excluded from auto-adjustment.

This was a problem on the prior version and the patch notes weren't clear enough to me on if this changed or not, although obviously I'd find out if I started up VaM for myself shortly.
