Q: How different is it from other night vision scripts?
A: Unlike most scripts, this script actually illuminates the area around you instead of simply modifying on-screen colors
Q: How customizable is it?
A: You can: - Modify the illumination radius - Modify the brightness of the illumination - Modify the speed of how fast the night vision turns on - Modify the needed darkness level for ID work (described below) - Modify the reaction time of ID - Modify the range at which ETISD works (described below) - Modify the sensitivity of ISIB - Modify the range at which AIM works - Switch between FLIR thermal vision and the regular night vision - Toggle on/off a distortion effect - Toggle on/off a blur effect - Modify the intensity of the blur effect - Toggle on/off a green overlay effect - Toggle on/off a goggle effect - Toggle on/off a bloom effect - Toggle on/off a grain effect - Customize the amount of alpha passes - Easily reset everything
Q: I bet it works only on console commands
A: Yes, and no. You can access an in-game menu by going to Q > Options > NVScript > Client. You can also control everything using the console commands (command names are below)
Q: Do I need any additional games for this to work?
A: No, all the needed materials are included. (5 materials)
Q: My night vision goes all crazy when I have ETISD turned on!
A: Turn it off or decrease the range at which it works.
Q: ETISD doesn't seem to work.
A: ETISD only works with ID turned on.
Q: I've been playing around with the controls, and was writing in numbers instead of using the slider, and now the night-vision is messed up!
A: You should only use values within the slider limits. Press the "Reset Settings" button.
Q: I'm having performance issues.
A: Reduce Illumination range, increase Brightness to 1.0 (100%), turn OFF the Distort effect, turn OFF the Bloom effect, turn OFF the Goggle effect, turn OFF Blur, turn ON ISIB. The recommended settings of the night-vision are set when you reset the settings.
Q: The menu looks complicated, and I don't even know what does stuff like ID or ETISD do!
A: Read below.
Q: Can I get banned for using this?
A: If you run around the server and scream "I'M USING A NIGHT-VISION SCRIPT", then maybe. Although you shouldn't get banned unless you're using this in a gamemode where the enemy needs to be lurking in the shadows and you openly brag about using a night-vision script. And no, you can't get VAC banned for this either.
