Tactical Goggles

(still beta but usable)

Flashlight, Night Vision & Thermal Goggles mod for Minetest. Features automated power drain mechanics and target radar systems.

Features

• Three Vision Modes: Switch effortlessly between an automated Flashlight Beam (Mode 1), light-amplified Night Vision (Mode 2), and object-tracking Thermal Vision Radar (Mode 3).
• Delayed Activation Queue: Real-time boot mechanics delay mode-swapping safely during technical cooling cycles without buffering extra inputs.
• Smart Equipment Integration: Integrates directly with 3d_armor headwear slots. Can operate out of bags if an auxiliary base helmet is already equipped.
• Independent Energy Grid: Each mode consumes power uniquely based on your configured slider ranges. Active item runtimes are displayed dynamically inside the configuration window.
• Dynamic Light Beam System: Projects full maximum light where you look across all three active vision modes without flashing or blinking.
• Smart Raycast Fallbacks: If looking straight down or standing directly against a wall, the light beam targets your body space instead of shutting down.
• Mob-Lock Targeting: Striking a monster or passive creature locks the light block to that mob's position for three complete calculation loops.
• Administrative Calibration: Built-in formspec matrix allowing server hosts to tweak hue hexadecimal overlays, lighting ratios, and global raycast update intervals instantly.

Dependencies

• /nvtweak -w - Administrative workspace window for live-tuning visual overlays and global server light beam tracking intervals. (Requires server privileges).
