Simulated Night Vision (ReShade Preset)

Inspired by experience with real night vision devices, this ReShade preset aims to simulate the effects and inherent limitations of binocular night vision devices (BNVDs) for a more immersive low-light experience.

Those familiar with Ground Branch will find this slightly familiar. BNVDs have a FOV of 40° - so if one is used to unrealistic portrayals of NVGs in other games, expect to bump into things and feel a bit claustrophobic when in close quarters.

Special thanks to Alepap for permitting the use of KSP True Night Vision as a foundation for this preset, and Opfor Night Solutions for consulting.

Features:

• []Faithfully colour-graded to match real-life image intensifier tubes

  []Limited field of view (intended to simulate 40° - but is subject to change depending on selected gameplay FOV)

  []Housing reflections/lens flares

  []Bloom effect from bright light sources

  []Optional Enhanced Clip-On Thermal Imager (ECOTI) overlay

  []THIS PRESET IS INTENDED TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE IN-GAME NIGHT VISION. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN NO LIGHT AMPLIFICATION EFFECT.

  Installation:

  • []Download and install ReShade by running the setup.exe. Select "ReadyOrNot-Win64-Shipping.exe" -> Next -> DirectX 10/11/12 -> Skip ->

    Select the following effect packages: Standard, qUINT, Color effects, fubax-shaders, FXShaders, and Legacy effects

    []Extract and copy the contents of the 7Zip file to "Steam\steamapps\common\Ready Or Not\ReadyOrNot\Binaries\Win64\"

    []Open the Reshade.ini located at "Steam\steamapps\common\Ready Or Not\ReadyOrNot\Binaries\Win64\" and ensure that this line is as follows: PreprocessorDefinitions=RESHADE_DEPTH_LINEARIZATION_FAR_PLANE=1000,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_UPSIDE_DOWN=0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=1,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_LOGARITHMIC=0

    []Activate ReShade in game, select the desired preset, make sure the effect is synchronized with the state of the in-game night vision goggles (if it is out of sync, you can press ESC to pause the game and press N to enable/disable the effect).

    If you're having difficulty or issues with shaders not compiling, try manually reinstalling the shaders from Reshade and/or follow the original KSP True Nightvision installation page.
