NVGs that dont suck!

YOU NEED AMAND'S GRAPHICS INSTALLED IF YOU WANT YOUR GAME TO LOOK BETTER WITH MY MOD AND CONFIG

DON'T BITCH AT ME IF Y'AINT GOT IT INSTALLED AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT
Because I keep forgetting that Thermals are changed with this mod,

ANY MOD THAT FUCKS WITH THERMALS WILL NOT WORK WITH SBNV

YES, YOU CAN TURN THE MOTION BLUR OFF, READ THE BLUE TEXT BELOW
YES, THIS IS TARKIE MENU AND KMC GEAR COMPATIBLE
Shoutout to SSH for helping out with bundle work! :D
Shoutout to Borkel for his code to change the masks!

Enjoy Night Raids? Dont enjoy BSG nods? Say less.

I use motion blur enabled with my Amand's Setup. Cry about it. In my opinion, Amand's Motion Blur makes Tarkov look way better since it runs like ass for most people, but since opinions aren't facts, you can turn it off by ticking the Advanced Options checkbox in your F12 Menu and turning the instances of it off in the 'Graphics' Tab in the same menu.

This is just a tweak of Props' reupload of JC980s mod, found here.
Mask code generously borrowed from Borkel's mod of this mod, found here.

  • Version 1.0.5

    THIS THE BIG ONE!! animehandrolldance
    In my infinite wisdom I realized that y'all's games arent gonna look like mine 1:1 because I run Amand's Graphics and i tweaked the fuck out of it to make the NVGs look better, so alongside the listed changes below, I am now including my Amand's Graphics Config file as an optional install if you want you game to look something like this:

    I use motion blur enabled with my Amand's Setup. Cry about it. In my opinion, Amand's Motion Blur makes Tarkov look way better since it runs like ass for most people, but since opinions aren't facts, you can turn it off by ticking the Advanced Options checkbox in your F12 Menu and turning the instances of it off in the 'Graphics' Tab in the same menu.

    so for the people in the back,
    -YOU NEED AMAND'S GRAPHICS IF YOU WANT YOUR GAME TO LOOK BETTER WITH MY MOD AND CONFIG
    -DON'T BITCH AT ME IF Y'AINT GOT IT INSTALLED AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT
    -YES, YOU CAN TURN THE MOTION BLUR OFF

    anyways, some patch notes y'all're not gonna read:
    -made the higher end NVGs (PVS-14, GPNVG) less susceptible to being blown out by light
    -made the lower end NVGs (N15, PNV10T) more susceptible to being blown out by light
    -edited the GPNVGs color to be less babyshit green and more blue/white
    -included my Amand's Graphic's file so your game and NVGs can look way better if you want

    -T7 should work now

  • Do you know what setting to turn down the brightness in the moonlight. Every Night raid is still lit up in the nvgs.

    • sorry for the incredibly late reply, but you should be able to tweak that in the night brightness settings in Amand's Graphics. i dont know off the top of my head if it's an advanced mode setting in BepInEx so make sure to tick that too :thumbup:

  • Issue with the Armasight Zeus thermal. There's no 8x fusion mode, but 2 8x white-hot modes. Also, there's a hard cutoff of vision, maybe ~100 meters away. Using Amand's graphics with the included SBNV config.

  • So I only have one question about the settings; How do I adjust the light sensitivity of my NODs? I hate having a clear evening with the moon shining, and it basically makes any surface bathed in moonlight the brightness of the sun. Even the clear evening sky looks like I am seeing the setting sun through Night vision. If I could have someone point out how I keep my NVG's from mistaking the moon for the sun, please let me know

  • 3.5.8 file has been removed.

  • i loved reading the overview XD

  • Just downloaded this roughly half an hour ago and I got the exact same issue listed below while using a Spectre DR. I also had an issue where whenever I come out of some kind of inventory, the world would go black for a second similar to how it looks in scopes.

    • The issue might actually be linked with SurroundDepthofField being hold breath only. I turned it off and it seemed to fix it.

  • The amands cfg file seems to mess the vision you can see through the scope while holding breath. Happens only with variable zoom optics.

    I have no problems using SVNG without the cfg file. Would be extremely happy if you can fix this.

    Thx in advance.

  • @Snofielf, thanks for the update. You updated to version 1.0.7, "it works with 3.5.8 too"? What other reason was this updated for from the previous version other than to support the current 3.5.8 SPT-AKI version? Thanks

  • Needs permission from google drive ;(

  • do you know what thermal palette the flir is, I really like the green background with white/red signatures and wanted to swap the T-7's palette to it

    • No clue, but I do plan to update the thermals eventually to make them moreorless equivalent to their IRL counterparts eventually once I figure out how.

    • Sounds cool, looking forward to it. Does that also entail increasing the thermal's range, the flir says sighting range ingame says it has a sighting of 500 but seems to be maybe <200 in actuality?

  • Im not sure if its Amand's graphics mod or this one but i have a problem with my game. Whenever i go into my inventory whether or not its looting a body, chest or just pressing tab. Whenever i exit my inventory the screen goes black for like 2 seconds and then goes back to normal. Do you have any idea either what is causing it or how i could fix it?


    Otherwise great mod man!

    • That would most likely be the Amand's Graphics blur settings that you can turn off with Advanced Settings.

    • hi, amazing work, but i'm having the same issue even after modifying the motion blur of amand's graphic mod in the F12 menu. Does anybody else still suffer from this glitch ? Amazing mod either way :)

    • Love the mod, i'ts literally a must-have.


      Angler from the future here: I can confirm the statement below was accurate.

      Turn UIDepthOfField - Off ; It will resolve the issue with the black screen after toggling UI.


      Once again, I have literally no idea what is causing it. And I am about as bright as a broken lamp post. So, not like I could even begin to understand how I mucked it up.

  • is this compatible with the realism mod?

  • I'm new to modding SPT, so please forgive me if this is a dumb comment.


    Firstly, instead of green toned, my night vision is white. Is that intended or is something wrong with my files or settings?


    Follow up, if it's intended to be white, is there a way I can make it green again in a config but keep your incredible cleanup of the view overall?


    Thank you!

    • Apologies on the late reply, but I changed the PVS-14s and GPNVGs to be White Phosphor Tubes instead. This is intended, and the PVS-14s are way less shit then they were in vanilla since they are damn good night vision IRL.

  • whoever thinks flir can look through glass please look at the information we all have access to before typing anything

  • 1KB readme file. Is our children learning, indeed.


    Anyway, thanks for continuing to perfect this mod when I was already very happy with it (big fan of the improved high end nods!)

    • no prob! the readmes are there for the surprising amount of illiterate people who install mods without reading the instructions how to.

      Happy 1

  • Hello. I just tried to redownload the previous version 1.0.2, and noticed none of the previous versions are available. I accidentally deleted it, and still run SPT-AKI 3.4.1 (for performance reasons - potato laptop). Is it possible to have the older previous listed versions accessible so I can regrab it? Thanks in advance.

    • It should (dont quote me on it) still work as intended as long as you aren't running Amand's. You should update to 3.5.5 though. I do not keep older versions as they are moreorless the same between eachother.

    • Thanks. I'll try version 1.0.5 (without using Amand's Graphics) on SPT-AKI 3.4.1.

  • cum about it

  • where is the cry about it option.

  • How do i dissable the thermal changes?!?

    • if you still havent figured it out you delete the bundles folder and the bundles json files

  • Would it be possible for you to include a preview of the T-7 like the rest of the goggles?

    Otherwise nice mod, looks highly promising, even as someone who very rarely dabbles in night raiding.

    • The T-7 looks the same as it does in vanilla, just with a view thats slightly bigger than how I have the PVS-14 set up. <3

  • This mod is by far one of the best qol mods i have ever downloaded, and an insanely speedy update to 3.5, Bravo sir

    • thank you so much! and no problem!

  • Ayy, would you be willing to up the distance cap of the thermal scopes? After a certain range they just don't render anything anymore. I know there is another mod with this functionality, but I'm pretty sure there would be conflicts if I used both at the same time.

  • any way to make this work with

    LUKEWARMPUDDING'S BLACKGEAR

    hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/743/

    • This is out of my skill level, unless the author has their NVGs modifiable as well.

  • Can I share it with the ODDBA community?

    • Sure, just make sure to credit me and the original mod authors in the description please.

    • Of course, this is the most basic, thanks for permission.
