I hated the default alien vision, and I was unsatisfied with the selection of custom alien vision mods available. I was fairly happy using Uke's AV, but there were a few things I wanted to improve.

So improve I did, and I was extremely happy with the result, and have been using it ever since.
Now, I wanted to share it with everyone.
This is an AV you can leave on all game.

Some people (and server operators) feel this mod gives aliens too much of an advantage due to the excellent contrast (easily visible marines and mines) and as a result I have increased the magnitude of the fog to reduce the effectiveness of aliens at range, thereby increasing the already huge advantage of marines at a distance, and I will remind everyone that the AV does not activate and deactivate immediately, meaning that its use has to be premeditated.

I would also note that this is a well laid out and well commented mod, so I invite any aspiring modders to come have a look and learn something in the process. (:

Another note is that this mod was created and fine tuned working casually in less than a week, and its current state was not planned and is exclusively a result of its evolution over time.

Let me know what you think, what you like about it, and what you dislike about it, and anything else you would like to see added to it.

Additionally, due to popular requests for stylistic modifications or things that I really didn't want to add to the main version, I have created a bunch of subversions to suit people's individual desires.

Features:
Color fades over distance to aid depth perception
Object colors are the inverse of environment for easy contrast
Colors "breathe" over time, just as an alien would
Environment colors are a bit darker to boost object contrast
Wave front while effect activating
Retracting wave front while deactivating
Echolocation type pulsation
Subtractive volumetric fog

Planned:
Mild refract effect to simulate alien vision
Depth of field focus

Removed:
Changed standard hive vision from yellow to white - it seems most servers check this file ):
Depth based effect to simulate alien vision - can not be implemented properly and detracts from the aesthetic

Bugs:
None
