[REL] Observation Periscope Color Filter

[Sledgehammer427]

my guess is proly not.

i change skins mid patrol (because grey looks great one session, and black the next..im eclectic)
and i think its basically changing a skin. so why not

You should be able to change it whenever. It does not affect any game mechanics or mission layers, just a small change to a texture.

Tested it in a single mission. Started with the mod enabled, saved, closed the game, disabled the mod, started back up and loaded the game without issues.

Any possibility of getting a version for TMO?

[Rockin Robbins]

I like it! Looking forward to using the yellow filter during the daytime to see if I can squeeze out a little more contrast.

[Arclight]

I think the yellow one serves you best at night, but it's all up to user preference.

To be honest, I haven't really found the red one usefull yet, but the subs had a red filter, so I made a red filter.

Absolutely, I'd be happy to. I'll download that mod tonight to get the files I need to work with, release should be 1 or 2 hours after that.



I've got a 1.1 version ready, where the green one is a little more opaque ("more green") and the red one a lot more. Yellow stayed the same. I think the new set is closer to what you see in the title-picture. I'm curious what people think about the current version; whether they think it needs changes and which?

I can't find any information about how clear the filters should be. Nor can I find anything to suggest which filter was suitable for what conditions. I'm thinking yellow for low-light, red in bright conditions and green as an intermediate, but it's all unfounded/unconfirmed.

Nice work

Some time ago I found that I could also add one for SH3 by simply adding a draggable colour filter with an Alpha channel. I have it showing only the bottom part over my scope and thus I can enable it while playing by simply dragging it down

If you like the idea, it's all yours

Thanks for sharing

Version 1 for TMO 1.52 is up and running, link is at the top with the others. Confirmed to work as intended... on my end anyway.

That was my first experience with TMO, and I must say I'm impressed. Looks and feels solid, nice button on the interface for deep dive, scopes look excellent, sounds are good, nice loading screens, cool movie in the background at the main menu, etc. Too bad Ducimus isn't around anymore to thank and compliment him on a job well done.

* Hitman, that sounds completely awesome and approaches how it was way better than this. I'd like to incorporate it, but I haven't got a clue where to start.

[Nisgeis]

Having it draggable sounds interesting Hitman, could it also be set up as a new 'view' in menu_blah_blah.ini? That way you could have each colour filter as an icon on the button bar.

Is there something like this for the TBT?

[Arclight]

Nope, technically not, though I could whip up a custom one.

I made one a few months back for Bubblehead1980.
Give me an hour and I'll track down the files, I have no idea where I left them, they're on my PC somewhere!
I'll upload them to subsim when I find them and post a link.

[Bubblehead1980]

I am currently out of town, will get home tomorrow, where the TBT color filter files are and get them to sergei.

BTW, any chance someone could whip up a green and red filter for RFB 2.0 TBT?
