NVG Mod

[doveman]

Actually I didn't need to comment mine out either this time. It was correct as it was.

 

Me too, just updated to the latest 1.2.5 patch and didn't touch it and it looked like that.

That is interesting maybe my file was corrupted or something

Hello,

 

I have just a little question, the Mod "nrgized nvgmod_1.0v3 with Ka-50" is not available to download because I do not found this file...

 

A great thanks in advance for your help, Skull.

[Spetz]

Thanks all for this. Works perfect (including the setup utility) with 1.2.6.

 

Looks great!

[seikdel]

Thank you SO MUCH for the setup utility!

[mr_mojo97]

Tis ok, I found it

[starsky396]

Is there any chance to add some blur to the outside of the NV area? I saw a video on youtube with this, but I cannot find it.

Hello dear,

Please anybody can help me for found and install correctly this awesome Mod ?

 

There's two version for the NVG Mod, one for the A-10C and other Mod for KA-50, right ?

 

After all these month I'm very lost, please can you give me the good link for the NVG Mod for the A-10C and other modules and also for the KA-50 ?

 

Because this Mod was enough complex for me I had stoped to use this Mod but today I fly by night with my modules and with the NVG Mod of DCS it's not good, your Mod it's better !!!

Alrighty, lets roll our sleeves up:

 

First download the nvg_mod_1.0v4b3.zip found in post #147 of page 5 on this thread. It is the latest version and should be sufficient to use for both the A-10C and Ka-50 modules. You will need Notepad++ for part of this mod installation. If you don't have it, you can find it here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org

 

Second, unzip the nvg_mod_1.0v4b3.zip to a location of your choice, the resulting folder has the following sub-folder structure:

 

nvg_mod_1.0v4b3\DCS World\Bazar\shaders\PostMotionEffect\NightVisionGoogle

nvg_mod_1.0v4b3\DCS World\Bazar\shaders\MaterialFactory

 

The NightVisionGoogle sub-folder contains the nvg_mod.hlsl and nvd.fx files.

The MaterialFactory sub-folder contains the laserbeam.hlsl file.

 

It also has the NVG Mod Setup.exe program. This utility will calculate the Size, Centers, and Blurred Rim values for you to replace in the nvg_mod.hlsl file in this extracted nvg_mod_1.0v4b3 folder.

 

As with other mods, it's always good to backup these folders found in your main dcs world folder.

 

Third, we will use the NVG Mod Setup.exe program that was extracted. Run the program, and input in your desktop resolution (1920x1080) into the Total Render and Main Device fields beneath the Monitor Setup label in the utility. Then auto calculate the values by clicking on Calculate.

 

Next copy the resulting following line from the Centers field:

 

const float2 EYE_CENTER = float2(0.50000f,0.55000f);

const float2 MASK_CENTER = float2(0.50000f,0.55000f);

 

Run Notepad++, and use it to open the nvg_mod.hlsl file found in the nvg_mod_1.0v4b3 folder you extracted earlier.

 

Go to lines 18 and 19, and select the following:

 

const float2 EYE_CENTER = float2(0.25000f,0.55000f);

const float2 MASK_CENTER = float2(0.50000f,0.55000f);

 

replace it by pasting the Center lines that you copied above.

 

Then we do a similar procedure with the following lines copied from the Output field:

 

const float2 EYE_SIZE = float2(0.63281f,1.12500f);

const float2 MASK_SIZE = float2(0.63281f,1.12500f);

 

Go to lines 39 and 40 and select the following:

 

const float2 EYE_SIZE = float2(0.29779f,1.05882f);

const float2 MASK_SIZE = float2(0.59559f,1.05882f);

 

and replace by pasting with the Output lines copied above.

 

Now comes the last part, similarly we copy the following lines from the Blurred Rim field:

const float INNER_RANGE_MIN = 0.800f;

const float INNER_RANGE_MAX = 0.867f;

const float OUTTER_RANGE_MIN = 0.917f;

const float OUTTER_RANGE_MAX = 1.000f;

const float INNER_RANGE_DIST_MIN = 0.850f;

const float INNER_RANGE_DIST_MAX = 0.917f;

 

Go to lines 114 to 119 and select the following:

 

const float INNER_RANGE_MIN = 0.850f;

const float INNER_RANGE_MAX = 0.900f;

const float OUTTER_RANGE_MIN = 0.938f;

const float OUTTER_RANGE_MAX = 1.000f;

const float INNER_RANGE_DIST_MIN = 0.887f;

const float INNER_RANGE_DIST_MAX = 0.938f;

 

and replace by pasting with the Blurred Rim lines copied above.

 

Then save the nvg_mod.hlsl file in Notepad++ and that is it. Take the Bazar folder containing the sub-folders with the modded files and replace in your DCS world folder. :)

Hi, is still good this mod for 1.2.7 version ?

[Highwayman-Ed]

Yep, working well

[hannibal]

does this mod work for flaming cliffs3 AIRCRAFT?

Edited January 31, 2014 by hannibal

[Harnis]

yeah, I just had an idea that kinda is a variation of this mod. Well, fighter pilot helmets always have a shaded visor, like sunglasses. Many times in game, if it's really bright, I find myself wishing I could lower a visor to get some better visibility. I realized that there's already the mechanics there to do it, all you'd need to do is rework the NVG mod for all other aircraft, leaving the NVG's for ground attack aircraft and visor for other fighters, and then reword the effect to be a darker tint rather than a bright green filter

[NRG-Vampire]

iirc i saw a su-25 nvg mod somewhere but cant remember where :doh: :(

[Brisafresca]

A-10A

 

Su-25A

 

Su-25T

 

First install: Realistic NVG Mod by nrgized

 

For work , use Notepad++ and add the follow lines in:

 

A-10A: Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\a-10a\keyboard -

 

Su-25A: Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\su-25\keyboard -

 

Su-25T: Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\su-25T\keyboard -

 

 

A-10A

 

{combos = {{key = "H", reformers = {"RShift"}}}, down = iCommandViewNightVisionGogglesOn, name = "Toggle goggles", category = "Sensors"},

 

{combos = {{key = "H", reformers = {"RAlt", "RShift"}}}, pressed = iCommandPlane_Helmet_Brightess_Down, name = "Gain goggles down", category = "Sensors"},

 

{combos = {{key = "H", reformers = {"RCtrl", "RShift"}}}, pressed = iCommandPlane_Helmet_Brightess_Up, name = "Gain goggles up", category = "Sensors"},

 

 

Su-25A and Su-25T

 

{combos = {{key = '5'}}, down = iCommandPlaneModeHelmet, name = '(5) Close Air Combat HMD Helmet Mode', category = 'Modes'},

 

{combos = {{key = "H", reformers = {"RAlt", "RShift"}}}, pressed = iCommandPlane_Helmet_Brightess_Down, name = "Gain goggles down", category = "Sensors"},

 

{combos = {{key = "H", reformers = {"RCtrl", "RShift"}}}, pressed = iCommandPlane_Helmet_Brightess_Up, name = "Gain goggles up", category = "Sensors"},

 

Don´t work in A2A aircrafts.

 

All credits NVG mod are for nrgized, the only thing I've done is integrate in FC3 A2G aircrafts.

[hannibal]

thanks for making the setup clearer than clear... :)

[GeorgeLKMT]

Using LCtrl/LAlt/LShift + N is IMHO less complicated. LShift+N is on/off, that's pretty straightforward when Shift is usually the biggest key from those three. LCtrl+N/LAlt+N for intentisity. N because Nightvision.

[Brisafresca]

Of course, use the keys that you see fit

[SynisterSpence]

Cannot press buttons...

 

While using the nvg mod, the zoom feature makes it nearly impossible to press buttons unless they are in the very middle of the nvg circle. Is there an easy fix to this problem?

[SynisterSpence]

How do you push the buttons on the cockpit with the nvgs on? im having trouble because of the distortion.

Hi there.

 

Open up the following file in the NVG Mod package ...Bazar\shaders\PostMotionEffect\NightVisionGoogle\nvg_mod.hlsl

 

Use Notepad++ preferably but Notepad may suffice.

 

Look at lines 84 to 93:

 

// Changes the Circle rendering mode.

//

// 0 = Circle without zoom

// 1 = Circle with zoom

// 2 = Fullscreen without zoom.

//

const int RENDER_MODE = 0;

 

// Enables a slight distortion along the edges of the NVG glass.

const bool ENABLE_RIM_DISTORT = true;

 

Make sure that the RENDER MODE is 0 and ENABLE RIM DISTORT is false (mine says true above, but I don't mind it.

 

That should do the trick, hopefully.

 

Regards,

Milli

Is there a way to add blur to the night vision? I wanted to add something like this:
