Vehicle Headlights?

[Bluedrake42]

Working on the Shadowspear mod, and was wondering... if we can implement working flare guns, would it also be possible to make working headlights for vehicles?

It's possible, yes. I believe EOD had a jeep with headlights that were always on as far as I know. XWW2 also had a jeep with headlights, which you could activate by "firing". What it did was fire very fast and each project was a lightsource. FH2 has searchlights which work a bit similar I think.

Dynamic lights in the refractor engine is really troublesome. All the issues with headlights would just not be worth it I think

iirc this method resulted in massive server lag if there were multiple vehicles

figuring out a way to implement NVGs would be better imo

[Bluedrake42]

atm we're looking at a combination of thermal vision and NVGs. Still going through all the pro's and con's though.

Thermals are better for contrast and for more accurate differentiation between a bush and a ghillie suit.

Si I think perhaps we should focus on getting as meany thermal assets to as many players as would be realistically applied.

Download battleracer and see how Elxx did them.
