NVG Mod

[PhoenixBvo]

Mr_mojo97, your problem were the curled braces {}. They need to enclose both lines. However, in your graphics.cfg the lines were outside the braces:

PrecompiledEffects
{
}    //mode = "USE_PRECOMPILED_EFFECTS_FOR_UNCHANGED_FILES";
    //mode = "USE_PRECOMPILED_EFFECTS_ONLY";

 

It should be:

 

PrecompiledEffects
{
     mode = "USE_PRECOMPILED_EFFECTS_FOR_UNCHANGED_FILES";
   //mode = "USE_PRECOMPILED_EFFECTS_ONLY";
}

 

The double slashes // are the block comment symbol for this file type. It means the program disregards any code after that on the same line.

The curled braces signify a grouping, so the program knows that mode belongs to PrecompiledEffects.

 

I can confirm the mod works exactly the same in 1.2.3

[Direwolf]

Thanks, man. I´ll try to set this new mod this afternoon.

 

Here you are:

Sizes:

const float2 EYE_SIZE = float2(0.31091f,1.03636f);
const float2 MASK_SIZE = float2(0.58295f,1.03636f);

 

Centers:

const float2 EYE_CENTER = float2(0.26667f,0.55250f);
const float2 MASK_CENTER = float2(0.50000f,0.55250f);

 

Blurred Rim:

const float INNER_RANGE_MIN = 0.825f;
const float INNER_RANGE_MAX = 0.883f;
const float OUTTER_RANGE_MIN = 0.927f;
const float OUTTER_RANGE_MAX = 1.000f;
const float INNER_RANGE_DIST_MIN = 0.869f;
const float INNER_RANGE_DIST_MAX = 0.927f;

 

You must decide for yourself if you want a zoomed NVG

const int RENDER_MODE = 1;

or one without zoom

const int RENDER_MODE = 0;

and if you like the lens distortion effect:

const bool ENABLE_RIM_DISTORT = true; // (false to disable) 

 

The rest (color and noise) you can leave as they are. Have fun!

 

It didn´t work! Attached there is a picture of the results.

The NVG is too big, off to the left, and there is a NVG mask in the HUD (I believe some remainings from PeterP´s mod).

Another thing: You tell me to set some config to MASK_SIZE and MASK_CENTER, but I didn´t find it in the file nvg_mod.hlsl. Where are these lines?

SO, can you tell me what is wrong and how to get rid of this NVG mask?

Just for remember: my monitors are a 1920 x 1080 and a 1680 x 1050, so I believe my config is 3600 x 1080, right?

[PhoenixBvo]

For the other NVG mask in the HUD look for all files associated with PeterP's mod and return them to their original (unmodded) version. If problems remain run "repair DCS World" in the start menu, but be sure to backup any other mods you have installed.

 

For this NVG mod, try this version. You'll find the MASK_SIZE and MASK_CENTER lines in there.

 

I can't explain the off-center placement. Perhaps it had to do with the version you're using. Try these values for a smaller goggle:

 

Sizes:

const float2 EYE_SIZE = float2(0.29075f,0.96915f);
const float2 MASK_SIZE = float2(0.54515f,0.96915f);

 

Centers:

const float2 EYE_CENTER = float2(0.26667f,0.59719f);
const float2 MASK_CENTER = float2(0.50000f,0.59719f);

 

Blurred Rim:

const float INNER_RANGE_MIN = 0.790f;
const float INNER_RANGE_MAX = 0.860f;
const float OUTTER_RANGE_MIN = 0.912f;
const float OUTTER_RANGE_MAX = 1.000f;
const float INNER_RANGE_DIST_MIN = 0.843f;
const float INNER_RANGE_DIST_MAX = 0.912f;

You´re right about the version. I was using the previous one. I did like you told me to, and everything is working like a charm (so far)! My mods (Helios and TARS) are working well. You´re the man!

[Stuka]

I think I'm to stupid to figure the nrs out.

 

I have a 1920*1680 game resolution, with a 1920*1080 main viewport... (have some small LCD screens under the main monitors with the MFD's)

 

Help !

Use this version and try these settings:

 

Sizes:

const float2 EYE_SIZE = float2(0.57722f,0.65967f);
const float2 MASK_SIZE = float2(0.57722f,1.02616f);

 

Centers:

const float2 EYE_CENTER = float2(0.50000f,0.71943f);
const float2 MASK_CENTER = float2(0.50000f,0.57467f);

 

Blurred Rim:

const float INNER_RANGE_MIN = 0.790f;
const float INNER_RANGE_MAX = 0.860f;
const float OUTTER_RANGE_MIN = 0.912f;
const float OUTTER_RANGE_MAX = 1.000f;
const float INNER_RANGE_DIST_MIN = 0.843f;
const float INNER_RANGE_DIST_MAX = 0.912f;

yup, that did it.

Thanks !

Any idea how to get this working for a 1920*1200 res? There was me thinking it'd just work as I only use a single monitor.

Perfect, cheers.

[Home Fries]

Absolutely brilliant and immersive mod. Thank you.

[Talon-X-]

I'm a fool who can't figure this out. Can you hook a brother up with those mumbo jumbo numbers? :) I have two monitors. The left one(main) is 1920x1080. The right one is 1440x900. Combined resolution is 3360x1080. I don't have any other night vision mod installed but I edited the focus.png file awhile back. At the time it was off center to the right because of Helios for some reason. Would I have to put the original focus.png back in its place before I do this mod?

Thanks a great deal for any help.

[MTFDarkEagle]

Hi!

 

First off: love the mod, well done!! However found 1 thing (might be operator error, don't know :) ):

The "clickzones" in the NVG sight are offset so to speak. What I mean is that when I try to click a button, my mouse isn't "on the switch" if you know what I mean.. Not sure if I'm explaining myself properly :D

Leave focus.png as is, this mod doesn't use it.

 

Use this version of the mod and try these (copy - paste into nvg_mod.hlsl to replace the existing lines):

 

Sizes:

const float2 EYE_SIZE = float2(0.32984f,1.02616f);
const float2 MASK_SIZE = float2(0.57722f,1.02616f);

 

Centers:

const float2 EYE_CENTER = float2(0.28571f,0.57467f);
const float2 MASK_CENTER = float2(0.50000f,0.57467f);

 

Blurred Rim:

const float INNER_RANGE_MIN = 0.790f;
const float INNER_RANGE_MAX = 0.860f;
const float OUTTER_RANGE_MIN = 0.912f;
const float OUTTER_RANGE_MAX = 1.000f;
const float INNER_RANGE_DIST_MIN = 0.843f;

Hey DarkEagle,

 

you have Matlab as well, don't you? ;)

 

The problem you describe is quite simply due to the zoom effect of the NVG. You'll notice that the cursor position matches the buttons in the center of the goggle field of view and the offset becomes larger towards the edges.

The only workaround is to choose RENDER_MODE = 0 (without zoom). This isn't unrealistic either since the real ANVIS-9 and OVN-1 have no noticeable zoom themselves.

Open nvg_mod.hlsl in notepad++

go to line 75, change value from 1 to 0

const int RENDER_MODE = 0;

Yes, I do have matlab :)

 

The zoom-effect is one of the great features I think :pilotfly:

Will try the alteration. But seeing it's "known" I will try to live as is, untill a fix is made for this. Will see.

 

Thanks!

[JaBoG32_Prinzartus]

Cool Mod!

 

Are you guys seeing the IR-pointer in the NVG without issues?

 

I can hardly see it with my current MOD configuration.

[PeterP]

replace your

...\DCS World\Bazar\Effects\PostMotionEffect\NightVisionGoogle\focus.png

with the attached one , and your IR problems should be gone.

[Ranger79]

Anyway to make this a modman file?

[johnv2pt0]

Just a suggestion, but I used to fly on these all the time and the bezel is a bit too small. Double what it is now would be closer to actual imo.

 

Great mod! I'm going to try it out tonight.

Hi johnv2pt0

Yes the bezel is to small in the nvg_mod_1.0v4b2.zip.

 

If you download and use the ver of Peterp nrgized nvgmod_1.0v3 with Ka-50.zip

It's simply perfect!!!! If you have a 1920x1200 monitor i send you my modify file for improve realism like true FOV tube and reduced Noise.

 

Bye Bye

[mr_mojo97]

Hi all, having an issue. I've just installed another monitor for use with iControl only to get my CDU on my iPad but now the nvg mod has stretched. The new resolution is 1920 (left and main monitor) x 2104, it has an aspect ration of 0.91 if that's any use. Could anyone please tell me how to fix this. Ta

[mr_mojo97]

Anyone help at all? I understand the numbers game now but I can't see where to change them! Which file am I supposed to be looking in with Notepad++ - nvd.fx or nvg_mod.hlsl? Either way I can't find the sections I'm supposed to edit. Cheers
