Is it necessary to have one of these mods? Armor Pack / Paw Low Loot

I added this to my dedicated server and 2 nvgs are now working. AN PVS-15, and GPNVG-18 the rest don't hold batteries/turn on.

@John Doe, thanks, 2 other NVGs didn't seem to work with this patch + required eris NVGs mod, but the AN PVS-15 goggles did. The option to turn on worked, but had to use 'N' to turn on and see different filters and brightness.

anyone else with brita armor pack? tried this mod but doesnt seem to work, i still dont have any ability to add batteries nor have the option show up to change brightness?

is it because im trying to add it on an existing save?

would be amazing if this worked for all the newer NVGs as well. just looking at the new NVG mod compared to this just seems like a major downgrade with how its simply a bright green square thrown onto the screen

Thanks for your work on this. This wasn't super obvious at first, but for those having issues, this only works for the goggles that were in Britas previously (see the first picture above). I got it to work for those, but none of the newer nvgs.

Any way to adjust spawn rates?

Seems some people are having issues. :P

I'll go through and try and figure out why some folks can't get the battery option to come up.

:thumbsup

For those who can't seem to get the goggles to work, spawn in "AN PVS-15 Night Vision Goggles" using -debug mode or the mod: Itemlist(cheat).

The ones I tried lacked the battery option but these work fine.

need fixin

So, this seems to work fine for me - I can add a battery, I can power them on, change brightness, etc... But for some reason, my night vision filter is gray instead of green? I can't seem to figure out the cause.

Great mod though, and thank you for your work on it!

It would be awesome to add a key mapping option for turning on/off the NVG, such as "N"

I dont have the option to put a battery into nvgs from the britas armor pack and ive tried switching the wear settings between on and off. Dont know what to do

I'll have a fix out when I get the chance.
Error pertains to vehicle distro internal patches - NVGs should still spawn normally.

Yes.

Am I able to add this into a live map server?

Not sure if you are interested in updating this but there is likely a loot distro error as pertaining to the Bag_SurvivorBag no longer existing. Hope that helps

`attempted index: items of non-table: null
function: BAPNVFix_Distro.lua -- file: BAPNVFix_Distro.lua line # 159 | MOD: Brita's Armor Pack Night Vision Patch
error at start of the game

Getting this error on server startup, unclear if it's actually causing any impact though.

No.

would a MP server need to be wiped for this mod to take effect?

For what it's worth, this mod still works. However, Shark's patch might be a bit more comprehensive and it even covers his SMUI mod too.

It does work ;)

Finally. I hope it still works in current update (41.77).

Is there any key I can press to easily activate the nvg ?
I seem to only be able to activate it from inventory and it can be very long to do sometimes

@JonRedcorn: Glad you figured it out. Yeah, individual save games have their own mod list separate from the main list in the main menu.

Sorry for all the comments, but I didn't realize you had to go and enable the mods on the actual save file, so I thought I was enabling them but they weren't being enabled for my specific save file, so once I went in and did that everythings working just fine!! So awesome, thank you so much for this great mod.

I got it working you have to start a new game which sucks. But it does work. Thanks for the help. I wonder if there's anyway to get around that the mods usually work fine when I add them mid game.

I just don't have the context menu options for battery or brightness just the britas options for on/off

I have, do you need to start a new game maybe? I have been trying to get this working on a save file Ive been playing. I can't understand what I am doing wrong.

Try loading the patch after Brita and Eris?

I am just using the standard way of adding mods I think that might be the issue here.

Could it possibly be the load order?

I have the same issue as p6kocka, I have a battery in my inventory, and I have no option to place a battery in the nvgs, no option to turn off and on, or power settings, I have britas armor pack, eris, and your patch, I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.

this mod is much better than other nightvision mods ive seen, ty

Yeah, you need one of those. :P

Edit: It works now. There wasn´t any batery...ehm... after installing batery NVG works now.

Ha ve activated: Brita´s Armor pack Night Vision patch with Brita´s Armor pack
and SuppressErisNVGSpawning

This doesn´t seem to work for me. I have found NVG but it doesn´t work. I have no option for:
Turn off/on
Remove batery
What´s wrong pls?

Ah ok i understand now, at the time i did not realize it was a self enclosed compat. thanks for the quick reply though!

Paw Low Loot: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2279084780

That patch is disabled because you don't have Paw Low Loot. If you aren't using it, you do not need that patch and can disregard it.

Im not sure if this mod is broken or im maybe just not doing something right. when i go to activate this mod on my client, i get an X where you see enabled/disabled. the mod is telling me it requires PLLoot and PLLootF but they are not stated as a requirement on this steam page so im having issues now finding those mods.

You do know you can dial down the power on the NVGs right? They have variable settings accessible from the context menu. Refer to the screenshots above.

Thanks for reply, I understand the no light source thing, Having used NVGs in real life. I think it was cat eyes that made the cone to bright while aiming. I also have Darker nights on. My only other guess was that maybe brita's nvgs are brighter or something from code. Regardless thank you for work and reply.

Don't use the NVGs around light sources? They absolutely will blind you like the real deal will when used in a lit area. Also, I've found that Cat's Eyes (better night vision at night) kinda make NVGs a moot point, since the environment remains pretty lit unless it's very cloudy or moonless. Also having it set to bright at night in the game settings will render them unnecessary too.

Is there a good brightness setting to use, to get the most out of NVGs it seems to bright in my fame even at 50% especially when I aim somewhere and the cone that shows you where your looking lights up. Your screenshots look alot better.

It's not my fault. My last patch was a month ago, so this is some new behavior. AFAICT, Eris didn't update her mod either.

wait how come my nightvision is gray?

ok, it works.
BUT – why when i have activate nvg my screen turns into gray filter? not the classic green
