IR Goggles – homebrew night vision

7 days to die ir goggles homebrew night vision

Overview:

This mod adds an armor mod to the game called ‘infravision goggles’, which are based on civilian infra-red devices. This item and its recipe appear at traders and as rewards by Tier 2, and provides an alternative to the game’s military-grade night vision, which is a Tier 4 item.

These goggles provide a direct beam of light that is identical to the helmet light, except for the notable difference that it is invisible to zombies and NPCs, and has no impact on your stealth meter.

Compatibility:

This mod works in both Alpha 21 and 1.0, and 1.1.
I have not tested it in later version, but I don’t expect there would be any issues.

Installation:

Extract the zipped contents into your game’s \7 days to die\Mods\ folder.

Future plans:

This mod is an attempt at emulating the infra-red optical devices that are publicly available – if we ever get the ability to create custom light shaders for 7dtd, I will change the lighting effect to monochrome for extra realism.

It didn’t work here in the most current version 1.4, at least here for me.

I think the xml data was slightly changed in 1.3 for items. If I upgrade before 2.0 comes out, I will update the mod sooner than later, but it will get an update soon either way.
