West Tek Tactical Optics - Thermal Vision Goggles and more

WEST TEK TACTICAL OPTICS adds new tactical glasses and eyepieces with new meshes and textures that are fully modular, crafted and modernized on the workbench, with 3 primary visual effects with different brightness options, 2 secondary improvements and 8 colors. Base points give a +1 perception, and any combination of mods can be added to them to customize them to suit your style of play or appearance. All mods can be changed between glasses and eyepiece. When you unlock the craft, you will also be able to create large posters with diagrams for each item, which look pretty cute in your workbench (see images).

Version 2.0 implements a switch, and adds a mode of multivision with visual cycles. In addition, ALL vision modes are available on powerful weapons! Finally, glasses can be animated to the forehead position when switching! See more in this article or in the video!

Night vision glasses are 100% new mesh and textures that I made from scratch, and I am very happy with how they turned out. I cut an eyepiece out of the suit of a worker of the institute, added a few things, cleaned it, corrected the UV and made new textures.

Visual modes were designed for dark environments and are therefore highly recommended when paired with mods such as Darker Nights and Interiors Enhanced. I'm open to creating brightness level options, but please understand that I can't meet all the requests, since the brightness of the monitor and the viewing situation is different for everyone.

The following modes are available for both optics:

INSTALL / UNINSTALL

The installation should be simple. Use NMM or extract the files to /DATA/.

BASIC VISION MODES

None (cosmetic)

Night vision - three levels of brightness are available. Designed for the darkest places and to some extent imitate real night vision. The lenses glow green.

Thermal - two levels of brightness, but all living creatures glow red. Dead bodies turn blue and remain visible for 15 minutes after death, making it easier to loot in the dark. The lenses also glow red.

Targeting HUD is the same mode as Power Armor. It does not amplify the light, but highlights the targets. The lenses glow white.

New MULTI-VISION modes allow you to apply several effects to one eyepiece and to go through them! READ MORE IN THIS ARTICLE

Each mode of vision has a "cosmetic" version that does not apply the effect of vision, but simply makes the lens glow with the appropriate color.

All visual modes can now be installed on Power Armor helmets

SECONDARY EFFECTS

VATS aiming matrix - increases VATS accuracy by 10%.

Sensors Scout - enemy sightings are marked (effect is similar to Scout sights)

COLORS

Default (Gray)

Black

HOW TO GET ITEMS

To make or upgrade these items, you need to find the schematics that can be found in the Med Tek Research lobby under the table in the entrance/reception area along with the delivery letter. Reading these schemes will permanently unlock the craft at the chemical station in the Utility section, or if you download the patch, the craft will be moved to the AWKCR craft table in the ACCESSORIES - CYBERTECH section. You will also need the first level of the Armory and Science Perks.

High-tech, low-chance glasses will spin on high-level Armory, and low-tech glasses will spin on Raiders and Super Mutants. They will also be sold by Lucas Miller, Cricket, KLE-O and Proctor Tigan starting at 16th level, so there is a chance to find them in nature. However, you will not be able to modify the found optics until you read the diagrams and get the necessary perches. There are two versions of the lists: the standard one (it will have to be entered into the patch manually, which I like better) or the Script-Injected, which connects and works.

HISTORY

West Tek was a pre-war defense contractor working for the United States government, which developed the T-45d and T-51b armor, as well as the FEV virus. If you read the delivery letter, you'll find out a little more about where the optics came from.

COMPATIBILITY

Version 2.0 is compatible with Customizable Targeting HUD if you use basic backlight. However, if you're using a version where enemies and friends are highlighted separately, you'll have to work a little bit.
