bad benson 1733 Posted March 16, 2017 Enhanced Visuals this is just the NVG (updated) and laser feature from "Enhanced Movement" seperated into a seperate addon. i will probably add the 3d/pip scopes to this later on once i updated them. also in general any visual feature i might come up with in the future.

Bamse 223 Posted March 16, 2017 Thanks for bringing the NVG visuals back :D After playing with your addons for quite some time you quickly realize how boring the the vanilla superduper-NVGs are. Thanks for the release! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TechThings 22 Posted March 17, 2017 thank you for this amazing mod. I have come across a small issue whilst in game which turns the Blacn and Green NVGs into Binoculars. They are able to be put in the NVG slot but the night vision does not work. The tool tip for the two NVGs are also the same as a binocular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad benson 1733 Posted March 18, 2017 hm. thx for the report. i just copied some config code from somewhere to remove the default NVG overlay. must've broken some classes. will look into it asap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad benson 1733 Posted July 20, 2017 update tomight. good news is that thx to a nice code experiment by killzonekid which i have been made aware of by Das Attorney i managed to keep the optional overlay intact while also having you be able to use the action/scroll menu (or rather see it). i also found the issue with the config i used to removed the vanilla overlay that broke opfor NVGs. was just an inheritance issue. same issue that john doe reported btw. i also experimented with new ways to do thee pip scope thing. won't be in this update but i think i'll use this mod as a home for it in the future since it's a visual enhancement thingy. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bad benson 1733 Posted July 21, 2017 this'll get anotehr update very soon. the laser colors i added last minute. still need to make them be saved on the profile so you don't have to switch every time you restart. and the dot is still off near water. i think i'll jsut rewrite it and optimize it a little while i'm at it. should be useable for the most part though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad benson 1733 Posted July 24, 2017 i realised that the way i designed the framewrok it actually already DOES save the laser color settings. thx past me. you're always watching out for me apparently i forgot how it works lol. i found out that the new approach for the NVG overlays breaks with mission restarts (using hte ESC menu restart button) eventhoguh it only very slightly differs from before. gotta love arma and it's restarts and savegame loads. when i say love i mean hate. anyways. here's a little teaser on the update PIP scope concept. it is now done via a world object instead just through optics model 3d dialog stuff. that allows to overlay some post processing to get rid of the pixelation in the pip a little. don't get too excited yet though. this is very early and still has many problems. mainly it still needs away to intelligently adapt to any scope with any zoom level. that way i can avoid the need to set up every single scope seperatedly. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappihuan 178 Posted July 24, 2017 does this also consider how track ir and 3D scopes work together? basically that you can turn your head while in scope. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love what you are doing here. The way to go is inner scope real and outer scope PiP. It looks so nice. I really hope you can keep this project up and it takes off to insane places. I do enjoy pretty visuals a lot. Keep it real, thanks for your mods :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bad benson 1733 Posted July 29, 2017 hm. i took a quick glance and first thing that comes to mind is the NVG goggles config that removes the vanilla overlay. that might cause it. since most units you place will have NVGs on them. not 100% sure yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crielaard 435 Posted August 7, 2017 It will take some time before I can try this... Are you saying you have created an Izlid like laser which is visible from faaaaaar away? unlike the weapon laser, which is only going out 1km max? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kroky 1 Posted September 27, 2017 Hi, I really like your take on the NVG bloom and filmgrain. I've run into a small problem though. Using EV with ACE3 when enabling the NVG's (hearing the sound only when I apply the NVG's the second time, during the first time there is no sound....) I have full screen NVG's. Not the "binocular" style of vision with restricted edges. Can you fix this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 14, 2021 Hey is there any word on the pip scope, its been years and I've been curious, if anything could you share the way you did it with the community so someone else can finish and make mods with them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
