HotVision

MPNumB · **Plugin Info:**

Description:
This plugin gives some use for nightvision. Normally nightvision only helps in case if players are close enough. This plugin makes all players visible in the dark, plus it includes support for infrared (ability to see through some walls/objects), heart-beat device (radar showing enemies with 1024 units range by default) what refreshes every 2 seconds, advanced hotvision (not only players are fully visible in dark places, but also other objects like hostages, weapons...). Also this plugin includes a fix for switching off nightvision by "fullupdate" command or and when starting to record a demo.

Engine

Additional info:
Tested in Counter-Strike 1.6 with amxmodx 1.8.2 (dev build hg21). You can disable/edit some features via cvars. Features like infrared (can be disabled/enabled), advanced hotvision (disabled/enabled), heart-beat device (disable/enable and set range). You may find servers what are using this plugin by following this link: http://www.game-monitor.com/search.p...=&game=cstrike

Notes:
- Cvar changes take effect only at round start.
- Brightness negative effect is largest in dark areas.
- Using only custom nightvision effect makes radar more clear and improves client FPS massively.

Warnings:
- Some maps may have sky glitches when infrared is enabled ("hotvision_walls" cvar).
- Using custom nightvision effect will not allow usage of flishlight while nightvision is active.
