This mod’s development was driven by desperation: with the apparent end of ThatsLit support, I felt there was a serious gap in the SPT mod array. For many, ThatsLit was a core mod, its absence leaving SPT somewhat unplayable. So I did a little research and undertook to try and throw something together.
What results is a much different mod, far less complex and professional, and containing far fewer features – I am not the guy who can remake ThatsLit, nor have I tried to. Instead I’ve attempted to produce something that works pretty well most of the time. I basically assume that everybody playing SPT has SAIN installed, and some of the gaps in this mod can be plugged with SAIN presets (eg. detection times affected by indoor/outdoor, weather, etc).
Ombarella functions like this: a camera is constantly circling your player at random positions, essentially taking photos of you at fixed intervals. Each ‘photo’ is analyzed to determine how light or dark it is, and contributes to a running score of how much light is emitted from your character. This score is then pushed to the bots, and entered into the value of the time it takes for bots to identify you as a target.
One of the nice upsides of this method is that your gear color is inherently calculated into your visibility factor: darker and grayer clothes and kit will result in a lower visibility score, especially at night and in dark places.
AFAIK this doesn’t work with Fika.
For now?

Small polish update, mainly fixed the pretty glaring bug that caused huge stutters if you changed the update rate.
Future plans:
It seems as if ThatsLit is finally being successfully adapted for 3.11. Being an essentially better mod than this one (at least at present), the utility of Omb is diminished.
Further, I’ve noticed that my mod really does have some bad stuttering, for those not using frame generation especially. A lot of the calculations accrete, bunch up inside single frames and cause stutters even if the fps is nominally fine. I haven’t been able to find a fix for this.
So this patch is an effort to just tidy up the mod as it is for whomever finds it useful because, ultimately, it does work.
What I am doing instead is researching using compute shaders, in an effort to do these calculations in the GPU rather than CPU. If I can figure that out, it will open completely new possibilities for what I can do.
For example, I would be really interested in focusing on camouflage analysis, in additional to the brightness analysis; this way, the mod could even work in tandem with TL, or, indeed, replace it for those who struggle with TL’s performance.
So until and unless I find a way to make use of compute shaders, I don’t foresee any further updates to the mod. (Possible exception would be a Fika plugin.) It’s there for those who can make use of it.

- Split texture analysis into two parts:
- Focused the luminance analysis on the center part of the texture in effort to exclude environmental color info.
- Added color breadth analysis, essentially camouflage analysis; however much the colors in the scanned texture are similar (ie you are blending with your environment), you get a buff.
- Changed color detection values slightly and added config entries to change them in real time.

Just a quick question, how do I instal this please….?
will 0.4.0 be for 3.11? i see from the commits that you did tests with fika. are you planning to make it compatible? youre basically my only hope for this, since that’s lit is defunct.
does it make bots not 360 u when u shoot them while ur inside building covering folliage in night
With FIKA it works, at least the bots see me. Thanks for the mod.
I’m already using this with ThatsLit. I not seeing too much performance impact. Thought I would mention that I would really love to see the camouflage thing take off. we have all these diffferen clothes and armor colours that really make no difference to game unless using 3rd person cam, so yeah. i hope you do continue developing mod. thanks for all the effort and sharing so far. Wait how do you add smilies and hearts on Forge??👍❤️😁 ok right click
does this work with realism?
I love how creative coders can get. Good work man.
Just came by to say thank you for your effort. I really miss that’s lit, so any help to close the gap is greatly appreciated!
So this does or does not work with FIKA with headless clients?
Sounds amazing, but I feel like that camera method kills fps
