Small update to fix rain still effecting glasses even though the player is inside a vehicle.
-
I hereby present version 1.0 of ZAM Glasses.
Please let me know of any bugs, I'll continue work on this, improving the overlays, adding in various things that I have considered.
-
With rain back in I decided to start adding in rain effects. Currently there is only one texture but I hope to have a couple to simulate glasses/goggles getting progressively more wet. Rain Image

Did some work on the Diving Goggles overlay, looks a lot smoother now.
I have a question though, has anyone come across this error when packing a mod and how does one solve it? I've had it a couple times and mostly fixed it by luck.
Creating texture headers file...6 texture headers saved to file "p:\zam_glasses\texHeaders.bin"

Once you play with it for a while you realise, yeah it's still really seriously confusing.

-
For the multiplayer, look into
setVariable, specifically the third parameter of making it public (sharing it across the network)
getVariable, for getting the ammo value.
-
Just ran your mod and mine at the same time and it didn't seem to cause any issues. I'll add in a global scope boolean variable anyway, to completely disable my ppEffect stuff, the overlays don't use the ppEffect obviously so they will continue to work regardless.
-
After giving it some thought, my mod only adjusts the first colour one to give the subtle tint using config entries to get the colour. The mods might be able to work together without any changes or we/I might need to put some checks around my ppEffect applying, looking for some variable of yours then simply hand that off to you. Or I might even put in a generic controller variable that disables my ppEffect so any other glasses mod that might show up can also take over that part by setting it to false.
-
Turns out it wasn't too difficult to get it working or rather not working with 3rd person. Eye damaged effect still occurs and all things that happen in third person get applied to first person when switched.
-
I was unable to download your mod, but I have just one question. Do you adjust the brightness and so forth on your ppEffect? Or just the first colour one?
-
LordHeart ZAM Glasses, are cool, and i even like better the subtlety of the tinting he chose in his mod for the different glasses. I might adjust mine too.I started off with a much higher tint, not as high as yours though. But adjusted it down because it felt too overbearing. As you can see in an earlier version of the system here
It will certainly be interesting to see which direction you take your mod :)
-
I like it ... but it just doesn't look right in 3rd person. I would recommend removing the goggle overlay in 3rd person.I play with a group where 3rd person is usually disabled, so not much focus has been put into ensuring that 3rd person looks correct. I will certainly look into making the goggles overlay hidden when in 3rd person while still maintaining the effect of wearing goggles for the explosion handling.

Indeed, diving goggles haven't gotten the same amount of love that the combat goggles have gotten. Something that needs to be fixed before releasing.

LHM Glasses
I thought I would share some of the mod I am currently working on. It has gone through several iterations since I started working on it, from a simple screen tinting based on the glasses worn to overlays for combat/diving goggles to the possibility of explosions cracking glasses.
Install Instructions:
- Unzip
- Place with your other mods
- Move the folders/files within the userconfig folder within @LHM to the userconfig folder in the root of Arma 3
- Add @LHM to your mod line using your favourite launcher (or the manual way)
Current features:
- Provides a visual screen tinting based on the glasses/goggles being worn, also effects the brightness of the sun as glasses should.
- Provides a visual overlay for goggles (Combat Goggles/Diving Goggles)
- Provides an improved goggles/glasses experience, where the item worn has the potential to break from explosions.
- Dirt from explosions linger on glasses with the ability to clean them.
- Dust from firing a weapon while prone appears on screen for a short period of time
- Rain appears on glasses/goggles
- Cleaning glasses animation
- Ability to clean glasses via keys (shift + t by default) see notes.
- Rotor wash effects
Current Known Issues:
- UI gets hidden by goggles overlay (http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=13846)
- No animation when prone (disabled to back breaking)
Notes:
- Move the userconfig folder to the root of your Arma 3 install
- Shift + T anywhere to wipe glasses changeable via Configure Addon in controls (thanks CBA)

The menu checks at the beginning of a mission for the keys, so if you were in a mission when you set the keys they wouldn't have been setup. However, if you restart the mission it should work. I am working on a solution that will set default keys if Custom Action 3 and 4 aren't set.
