Been trying to work on a night vision sniper. (yes, similar to the one already made.) As i look through the forums, alot of people have asked about it but no ones been able to get an answer to how to do it. Maybe someone will answer my posts.

is there night vision in halo 2 like halo 1

somewhat. It's in the modded map cassopia if you want to see what it looks like. When you pick it up, you get a green screen that looks like nightvision.

It's an awesome mod. I figure the green screen can't be too difficult, but how do you make everything brighter so it's actually night vision... not just a green filter?

My best guess of making everything brighter is to just up the light intensity.
Here's my theory on how it was done. I think he added the light from the plasma pistol someway (because its always on) and uped the light intensity to make it stong enough to turn everything green when the weapon was picked up. Of course there's much more to it than that. If it was that simple i would of figured it out already.
Anyways, thats why i posted this message, so we can try to find out together how it was done.

what you do is add a green light as an attachment thats only viewable in first person

How would you go about doing that.

hey you need plugins for DotHalo so you can go in to the Weapon hud setings and set the green from 0 to 1 so all of them look like this
R: 0
B: 0
G: 1

Once you've done that, is there any way to make it so other lights will be unusually bright on your screen? It would help balance out the night vision advantage if other people's flashlights blinded you.
