Doom 3 Flares mod (Windows)

This Doom 3 mod addresses the lighting issue not with flashlights, but by turning grenades into throwable flares. Once thrown, the flares glow and light up the surrounding area for a short period of time, allowing you to see what might be lurking in the shadows just ahead.
