notakidonsteam / blackout Goto Github PK

The blackout asset is viewable within mirrors that show default layer.

The solution may be to hide it for all but the active camera.

Makes sense as Automatic State Change is just the old Enabled button renamed. Was a last minute accidental feature as I forgor how monobehaviors worked.

Super simple to fix, just lazy rn.

Not sure why. It shifts to the right a bit when scaling...

Just gonna make it bigger.

Yeah I didn't think that far into it. Wanting to render black square with shader over camera to dim. Might be more optimal alternative.

Add manual control using UIExpansionKit so users can dim their screen in-game if they want.

tbh this entire mod makes more sense as a steamvr overlay, but eh...

Implement a VR-Only toggle so users can better control when they use Blackout.

Idea for a more responsive feel:

Vision in drowsy mode should blend based on head velocity. The faster you move the more vision you gain back, with a ceiling that will transition you to the Awake state.

This would mean users can kinda "edge" the detection and know if they'll switch to Awake a lot easier. In testing I wanted to move a bit, but would get scared because I couldn't tell if I was moving too fast to immediately enter Awake and blind myself.

It would also be nice for slow transitioning from Drowsy to Sleeping over time, so proper transitioning/blending should be looked into and customizable.

Allow users to change the update rate of the mod for a bit more responsiveness.

Should look into lowering FPS while sleep mode is activated, as we will be only rendering black/dimmed.

A potential idea to make it less likely for people to randomly blind themselves:

Entering drowsy mode should be as easy as moving the head, to not confuse the player if they wake up and just see the void. We've all had those moments waking up confused as hell, and I don't want to add to that.

Exiting drowsy mode should require intentional button presses, so users who move while sleeping or want to shift around don't completely blind themselves and have to wait down the long timer again. Drowsy mode already has a strength setting, so users can control this state too.

Implement default avatar paramaters for users to utilize.

BlackoutMode - int 0-2
SleepTimer - float 0-1...?
