So I've been toying around with an idea to do night-vision for a while. I looked around in the sniper.weapon_hud_interface and saw that it was as simple as "connect to flashlight" so I just set that, and turned off "only when zoomed' but it still only works when zoomed
Any ideas?
Seriously, who the hell ever uses the snipers night-vision? Its rubbish and doesnt help.
I was trying to get it working for Gridlock so people can see somewhat better. You can change the tint and stuff. Also, night vision in a dark map is cool
Disagree.Quote:

So you unchecked the mask flag's, night-vision flag's and desaturation flag's "only when zoomed" and the screen effect still doesn't render when you turn on your "flashlight"?
basically.Quote:

As far as I have been able to tell, night vision cannot be linked to the flashlight and appear when unzoomed. I've tried on multiple occasions.

+rep to any one (part from skyline) who guesses what map that is.
I remember me and you tried to get this to work a while ago, and you said you couldnt get it to work.Quote:

@limited
wtf? Shouldn't look like that at all.. Should be green in the snipers zoom mask.
Nightcamp CE ? :)
~No its not Nightcamp CE.
Heres a picture of the same place without "night-vision" turned on.

Heres a clue, I'm moving in the shot (both shots actually), and yes its a custom map.
+rep to the one who pm´s me the answer:D
Also its probably something with blood gulch in it.

E: Wow, props to Horns for getting it correct, it was Yoyorast...but what part?? :D
Secret room
Ding ding, we have a winner...
But yeah, as you can see it demonstrates how crap night-vision is on the sniper. Any dark place (like the fall to secret room in yoyo) and you cant see a thing, it just makes it slightly green.
I stole yer rep Horns:D:D
Thats because there isnt anything to see. all you have is a wall. (at least from what i can tell)Quote:

It seems to get slightly easier to see. Maybe it doesn't work when it's 100% dark, but it helps in not-so-dark situations.
Just use (without spaces) [shot ] [/shot ]Quote:

see how it looks way different and it is grealy helpful :D
Night vision amplifies visible light, but in the absence of light, there is only darkness.
Thats not an emo poem, its tha truth.
This is a video game, sir.
Which is why you carry a flashlight. :realsmug:Quote:

if you guys picked up on those texture terms koorn was saying... it basically implys that there actually needs to be a texture visible to amplify... by the looks of it... its just a flat black image... which is why it doesn't work on that map...
