Periscope at night

ANTARES · 05-10-10, 06:02 PM

Is there a mod to change the way the target view and alignment lines can be viewed at night? What I mean is is there a mod that changes the black markings to either green, yellow or any color that can seen at night time?

Unfortunatley there is no fix all mod...if they make it good for nite vision it is unviewable during the day. Does not appear as there is a way with the current coding to make it changable, it is either one or the other.

is there any way to change to colors to be visibily seen in both day and night time by editing a .dat file? And if so... what file would it be found under?

Fact interjection: periscopes were almost useless at night anyway. The night surface attack was the most common.

Very true Steve...unfortunatley in SH4 that is pretty impossible to do unless it is bad weather or very long range.

Also true. This actually worked way back in SH1, though the periscopes were also quite good at night in that one.

Agree....surprised no one has "modded" this, or have they? I have only been able to do one surface attack and then I couldnt see the pointy end of my sub.

Any other time you get spotted at silly ranges

In TMO the night scope (observation scope) has glowy marking stuff on it. And it's green.

That is my technical help
