Hi

Nice mod, I was wondering why BIS left out FLIR from future Rangefinders.

By the way...

I'm working on simple NVG+Thermal vision mod. (Basicly my first real try in arma modding)

I'm able to add ppEffects to night vision but not the thermal vision view.

Could you share me the trick?

Here is a part of my code (My starting point was HAFM_NVG mod by Aplion):

if ( currentVisionMode player != 0) then 
		{
			FG = ppEffectCreate ["FilmGrain", 2051];
			FG ppEffectEnable true;
			FG ppEffectAdjust[0.8, 1, 8, 0.1, 0.1, true];
			FG ppEffectCommit 0;

			DB = ppEffectCreate ["DynamicBlur", 451];
			DB ppEffectEnable true;
			DB ppEffectAdjust[0.42];
			DB ppEffectCommit 0;				
		} else
		{
			ppEffectDestroy FG;
			ppEffectDestroy DB;
			setAperture -1;
		};

As I know

currentVisionMode 0=normal

currentVisionMode 1=NVG

currentVisionMode 2=FLIR

But nothing happens to Thermal vision...

Thanks.

Hi

Thanks !! :p

It seems, that you script some *.sqf, right ?? If you want Thermal View (TI) in your optics you have to create a seperate config with all the things you need inside...

In config needed:

visionMode[] = {"Normal","NVG","TI"};
thermalMode[] = {0,1};

The different modes:

0: Black / White (White = Hot)

1: Black / White (Black = Hot)

2: Green / White (White = Hot)

3: Green / Black (Black = Hot)

4: Red / White (White = Hot)

5: Red / Black (Black = Hot)

Maybe that help you !!

Greets, MrF

Thanks for help!

Yes it is a script. But my knowledge in arma modding and scripting is very very very limited, and I am experiencingwith the mentioned NVG mod, and changed the effect, I dont even know what is in my config.bin...

What i want to do is a global/general modification of all NV and TI devices.

In first step I want to add some blur and a little bit of noise, to make it less clear and differ more from the plain eye view.

It is already working for NV but not for TI as I mentioned.

My main problem is that I dont know how to force ppEffects on TI mode.

Do you use ppEffects for the red and green color overlay?

Thanks!

[MrF 10]

nope... no ppEffects used yet, only the config-tweak is done !! I think it's not possible to add NVG/TI via scripting, you must change this in a config, but im new in modding too, maybe there is an scripting-solution for this ?! Don't know...

Open my Addon and take a look inside, this should help you on your project. ;)

I posted this on the Addon Requests Thread, but thought it would be rather unseen by the popularity of the thread.

Anyways, is it possible to make a thermal goggles mod?
