Perceptive
A module to add a few loosely related vision based features.
A tutorial for some of the features can be found here:
Currently implemented features are:
Door lock peeking:
Allows doors to be set a lock peekable. When a player ctrl+right-clicks a lock peekable door they can see through a small hole in the door until they ctrl+right-clicks it again or move out of the interaction distance. Only one lock can be peeked at a time.
Settings:
World:

Languages:
The module contains an English, a German, a Chinese (thanks to Thousand (_thousand@Discord)), a Japanese (thanks to doumoku), and a Polish (thanks to Lioheart), and a Portuguese Brazil (thanks to Andersants) translation. If you want additional languages to be supported let me know.
