[RELEASE] Black and white fatigue effect

[RCA3 581]

Description:

• Script that turns your screen black & white gradually as you get fatigued, and returns color as you recover.

 

Long description:

Spoiler

It always bothered me the lack of tiredness feeling given to the player, besides some dark spots on the screen, inability to sprint and weapon sway there's nothing else (there's a brief slight desaturation).

ACE3 came along with scientific fatigue calculations and added heavy breathing and inability to jog, but still is not enough as far as effects go.
This very simple code uses the respective (ACE if present or vanilla) fatigue values to turn your screen gradually black and white as your character gets tired and obviously restore it as your character recovers.
The ACE3 effect is way superior to the vanilla one, so you should try it if you're into this.
This is for the ultra hardcore milsim fans so if you wanna jog all day this is not for you (softened with minimum 0.1 instead of too agressive 0 color). I guarantee  you'll think twice before any sprint after a few test runs 🙂 and you'll appreciate a lot more a good vehicle ride (instead of having the feeling your character is a limitless vehicle).
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this as an overall tired effect and why any game never applied this as it seems so intuitive to me. (I've seen a game recently using this technique actually (forgot the name though)).
Thanks.

 

Notes:

• Works with ACE and Vanilla.
• It does not affect ACE3 values.
• It's not configured to run on respawn.

PS: If there's problems with the ACE code being used please delete this thread.

PS2: If you wanna help and get values directly from ACE3 addon (#include "\z\ace\addons\advanced_fatigue\script_component.hpp"), i'd appreciate it. Thanks.
