Help me make it better!
Hi all,
As always, thanks for the support so far. I'm really thankful for all the nice comments.
Of course sorry for the delay with the updates, but unfortunately RL stuff gets me busy. Modding is a great hobby but doesn't pay the bills, so things get delayed at times.

Anyways!

One of the things I really want to support with this mod is different types of IR illumination. Therefore, I'm asking you all to help me figure this one out.

What do I need is...

Basically all the information you have about IR-related attachments for guns. I'm aware that different illuminators have different light focus angle, different spread, different modes, some of them have modes combined with and without lasers, etc. and I would like to have that in BettIR too. Naturally, I primarily want to focus on the attachments that are common - the vanilla IR illum/laser combo, RHS and CUP attachments.
Therefore all - possibly precise - information about these attachments that you can give me will be very much appreciate. Try to include the details such as mentioned above - and pictures are very helpful too.

Thanks in advance, operators!

My feedback is, the IR Light on the googles could be a little brighter.

I've tested a ton of different values. Make it too bright and you won't be able to see what's nearby because everything will be white. I'm planning to tweak the light in the next update still though

Is there a way the IR light brightness can be a setting?
Aside from the brightness slider suggestion, I think it is better if you create a button to switch brightness and modes, like how you change color in your headlamp mod.
The brightness & mode could be:
- Low brightness, short range mode, wider light spread.
- High brigtness, long range mode, tighter light spread, dense, but not denser than a laser.
- Medium, anything in between.

Something like in one of garand thumb's vid (18:35):

@aesand thanks for the suggestion, this is in fact already planned for the next update. I posted a clip a while back on my twitter.
