The difference is night and day, Central Park vs Chernobyl.

Are you sure this is able to be done whilst on Limelight? As far as I'm aware, enabling post processing effects isn't do-able once your in-game however do correct me if I'm wrong.

I have figured out how to make "Nightvision" the range you can see is less then usually but at some spots it even works.. mostly not. But here you go!

Dont use the one for Outside on the Inside. Bad Results will happen:

Now for the Inside:

Like i mentioned earlier, use the wrong "Night Vision" for the wrong area and this happens:

They do indeed work, as all screenshots are taken on the Build & the normal server.

I cant see Good looking 4

You are supposed to copy the settings just below that.

"Good Looking" does not exist ingame. You have to enter the Numbers manually and then click on the small wrench -> enter the name you would like to have & then add preset.

Couldn't nightvision be classed as exploits?

It's an unfair advantage in some cases.

That's a good question.. But considering that the flashlight does have nearly the same effect.. I dont really think so. Its only better in very rare cases. But of course, it might be.. I havent really thought about that. I will ask tomorrow, because its nearly midnight for me.

What do you think, is this is an exploit ?

No. It's not. It's a modification anyone can make and it doesn't contradict the rules. You could just simply raise your monitor brightness and that would not be seen as exploiting. This is completely within the rules.

Going to have to use some of these tweaks, because there's always been a voice in my head saying "this game looks dull" when playing for a while. It just doesn't pop. Let's see how it turns out...
