New NVGs idea

[HuNtA]

the reson why theres no change in the colour is becuase the NV class MUST be green. I think its hard coded into the engine. Cuz if U look at the nv optics, they dont contain a spec of green, at all

[DBR_ONIX]

I know that, but if you change the optika_nvg to something else, and it loses the green-ness, it's the optics file that links NVGs to the hard-coded green in OFP
If it still works, it will be it either the base class, or something else ( )
Hmm, should email BIS and ask them about it

So have you actually tried tinkering with NVG's or not? I tried making a new NVG's class that used an invisible model, so you couldn't see if a unit was wearing them (for my vamps addon). However, it wouldn't work, and after browsing the forums, I found that it was pretty much agreed that making new NVGs is impossible.

Impossible does not exist! theres only unbelievable  

[DBR_ONIX]

I tried the CPP :
class ONIX_NVG:NVGoggles
      {
      displayName="ONIX's NVGs";
      showEmpty=0;
      valueWeapon=5;
      opticsZoomMin=1.0;
      opticsZoomMax=1.0;
      modelOptics="optika_night";
      model="nvg_proxy";
      };

But it says "Undefined baseclass NVGoggles"...

Hmm........
class NVGoggles is derived from class Binocular.

Try:

Code: [Select]

class Binocular:Default {};
class NVGoggles:Binocular {};
class ONIX_NVG:NVGoggles
      {
      displayName="ONIX's NVGs";
      showEmpty=0;
      valueWeapon=5;
      opticsZoomMin=1.0;
      opticsZoomMax=1.0;
      modelOptics="optika_night";
      model="nvg_proxy";
      };

i dont think inherting from the nvgoggles class will work :-\

Possibly not, but he wanted to try.
