Thank you, sir. You are a prince among men.

Made an update of this:

Hope it helps anyone!

@Lives2DieAgain
Someone had better let Mlie know to get in touch with the mod creator, in case the original poster can't find the time to work on it anymore.

Still works in 1.4, but I'm hoping it gets updated to 1.5.

any update on that update? I love your work and my colonies just feel so dark without it. Hope that time is kind to youand looking forward to the release

Looking forward to the update.

Seems like there could be some cool tie-in with the xenome stuff from Biotech.

One of my must-haves, great mod especially with fog of war and silent raids.
Looking forward to hunting piggies in the dark with 1.4

Looking into it - not sure how long

Hi Drumad! Will you update this mod to 1.4?

found this after downloading realistic darkness... this will make my night battles way more interesting

After looking at it a bit more, I'm pretty sure it's because the darkvision psycast has no effect on the sight stat, and just removed the light effect

I don't see the Darkvision buff granted by the new psycasts in vanilla psycasts expanded in the health menu to set up night vision on it, is that normal? It still seems to apply a condition to eyes, so I'm not sure what the difference is on that compared to all the other health effects, and why it's not recognized, I'll probably ask on the VE discord about it.

I stand corrected. After discussing it with a member of the VE team on discord, they have fixed the conflict on their end as it was a quick/easy one to do. It should work fine now.

@Jet

Incompatibility with VFE Ancients. No fix as of yet AFAIK.

anything? https://gist.github.com/c38d81ff513b21f9ee4843bc9d5917c4

i think if there are weapon menu like apparel in setting would be great.

If you want the goggles to be wearable with an helmet (covering only the eyes), I made a patch: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2729258885

Don't know if it's been mentioned before, but the night vision goggles are categorized as headwear instead of eye wear for some reason, making it impossible to wear them with a hat for instance. Is this intentional?

On my favorite list for years. In my recent playthrough I noticed Tinted Goggles don't seem to be respected by Ideology.

With 'Tunnelers' meme and 'Darklight Preferred' you get a negative thought when in Bright or Indoor light.

Same thing with SOS2 EVA helmets even after I flagged them as 'protects from bright light' in the mod options.

"For bionic eyes and the like"
Does this also apply to bionics added with other mods like EPOE? Asking because of the "Tactical Bionic Eyes" in EPOE forked

WOAH UPDATE!
AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH!

A unexpected but very welcome update! Thank you!

Thanks for the update, love this mod!

Fate in humanity restored.
Thank you very much.

Thanks, mate! :-)

Updated for 1.3 - still some work to do but should be working
Let me know if there are any issues

This would be really useful for the Darkness meme, not gonna lie :D

I'm missing this mod, I really hope it gets updated to 1.3

it seems to be working fine with 1.2

It's working as far as I can see, I'm not sure if it will still work with other mods, but it works with normal bionics and archotech eyes

Is this working with 1.2?

update ?

I have been wanting to make a mole people tribe where they live in dark caves. Maybe you could add an opposite trait to make some people less functional in dark? Night Blind or something like that? Would be cool to have a colony entirely in darkness but outsiders have a bad time.

:+1: for Camo and Stealth compatibility, if you have the time! It's a perfect combination; and it looks like CAS's got a fairly simple XML tag you could add to night-vision goggles and archotech eyes.

update ?

I had given all hope.
Thank you very much for updating this!

Gotcha. Old configs. I'll remove the previous post so no one gets confused.

Alright, thank you.

Btw I just realized I'd linked the wrong version of CAS. Here's the 1.1 version:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2019776293

Hi all,
Dr Zhivago, those errors should only appear once when the mod is checking saved settings and removing entries related to mods that have been removed. Perfectly fine to ignore

Drift_91 & weregamer, I haven't checked compat with CAS - I will have a look

Hey, got the same question as weregamer, is this compatible with Camo and Stealth?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1925822368

Oh nvm, the example patches are for modders, I will just use in-game settings.

One question is that, the night vision feel/effect need to be manually patched to work for each alien races?

I think this may not be compatible with CE after some new features added in 1.1, need to do some tests to find out.

I don't suppose that this works with CAS - night vision would negate the "target in darkness" accuracy penalty, etc.

couldn't message ya with account private, so i started a thread on github with the player log

okay, tested a bit and couldn't replicate or find any obvious conflicts. Please feel free to message me the log and we can continue this either in the dicussion above or on github

ahh great, thank you. I'll take a look at level this and see what the issue is

apologies for all of this, been testing for a incompatibility all night, and also just tested it again on my pc and mac, and found out it's not a mac only issue, it's an issue with this mod and level this!

would you be okay if i messaged you the player log? would prefer not to give my name out to everyone. i can still send it here if you'd prefer
