Night Vision in Evrima ?

[GreenTea]

So hum, is there any night vision or setting i have to put to be able to see a thing in Evrima ? Don't tell me it's not implemented, I was crouched in pitchblack and a carno just charged my ass from 500 meters away and stoped directly on my crawling ass to eat me. I couldn't see the carno until he was too late. so there has to be a way.

There IS night vision....but it's not a thing you toggle and is more a how well you see at night by default system instead of something you can turn on and off. Basically, your character's night vision varies by a few factors. 1. What species you are. 2. How good your diet is. 3. Your screen.
Yes. The gamma exploit is still a thing some people do and some people just have lighter or darker screen settings and that can unintentionally lead to advantages and disadvantages.

Gamma exploit? You mean turning up your monitor brightness?

Yes. While it's not a hack or a classical cheat making it brighter then the devs intend you to see is an exploit. You're just exploiting a feature of your device instead of the game and in this case it is one I don't think will ever have anything done about because to do so would require some sort of thing that prevents you from changing while you play. If that is even possible, which I doubt, it probably would cause more trouble then it solves. Luckily, I'm not one of the people who cares. I just know there are a lot of people who do and get annoyed with players that do. They consider it just bad sportsmenship or something of similar nature.

If you can't see during the dark then turn up ur brightness your allowed to do it. Turning up your monitor brightness is allowed. Even mods and stuff on the isles discord have said that people are allowed to turn up the monitor brightness if you can't see.

A more natural night vision makes sense for the dinosaurs. A night vision toggle for the human mercs who do not have natural night vision, and rely on gadgets for it -yes.

Yes. But that doesn't mean a lot of the player base don't consider it bad sportsmenship to do it far enough that all the challenge of night time is removed. It doesn't have to be some big massive problem that demands a fix to be an exploit. Sometimes an exploit is harmless enough that it is not bothered with. It doesn't have to be inherently bad. It just has to be unintentional by the design of the game and allow you to do something you otherwise wouldn't.

^ as someone who literally can't see ♥♥♥♥ at night, i don't think it's "bad sportsmenship". at least in evrima due to the lack of nightvision. in legacy yes, very bad.

Yeah....I don't care if people do it. I think just some of the Legacy hate passed over in some people.

When the new night vision is implemented I think they may be trying to make it so that turning up the gamma won't help, but if we can see better I doubt that'll be an issue regardless. I think what we have now is meant for humans, but even then with the "visibility fading" they are tinkering with so that players can't "see" other players behind blind spots in corners or over hills night vision, or lack there of, may effect the draw distance of non-static entities.

All dinos may share the same level of night vision in regards to being able to see the land around them at night, but the varying levels of night vision and other senses may impact the draw distance. If this is true then turning up the gamma won't really do anything for you other than make it slightly easier to navigate the map at night.

That is very clever.

Maybe something like NVIDIA filters like how people used to do it way back on the game RUST during night times (before the new update disabling nvidia filters)

this comment is completely wrong lol, night vision hasn't been implemented yet at all since you know, the devs develop at a glacial pace

I gathered that from some of the other comments. I kind of thought it HAD been though because I have had a very strange experience with night time in Evirma. You see, some nights I could see and other nights it looked like Limbo with dinosaurs as the grass was jet black. I assumed this was some glitch in night vision since....I still don't understand why the heck that use to randomly happen. I use to think there was some difference there since night vision is listed in the diet buffs/debuffs. (I feel like maybe they shouldn't list the ones that aren't there yet. It's confusing)

Might have been a lighting error from an update tweak. The slightest change could look vastly different for someone on a different system, so you might wanna submit a bug report if it's still happening with your system specs.
