Thermal Overlay

Adds the ability to turn any weapon into a thermal weapon. NOTICE: This mod is currently in beta. You can expect configurations in the full release

How does it work?

• Adds a new shader, "Unlit/HolographicSight_ThermalOverlay.shader", or simply the "Thermal Overlay" shader.
• This works very similarly to the existing thermal shader, except it can be transparent
• By adding it ontop of existing scopes, you get thermal overlays that can highlight enemies without affecting the background
• For guns without scopes, a small square mesh is added with the overlay applied, granting a small area in which targets are highlighted while aiming down sights.

Changelog

Version 0.1.0

Beta release of ThermalOverlay.

• Only automatic conversions
• Very simple backend logic
• Configurations don't work

Version 1.0.0

Initial full release of ThermalOverlay

• FactoryManager is fully implemented
• JSON configs now work
• How-to articles added for usability
• Psuedo-random material generation added

Version 1.1.0

• Added in some default JSON configs to help make some vanilla weapons look better
• Added the ThermalOverlay shader's source to Github
• Fixed an issue where Vector2, 3, and 4's weren't being serialized/deserialized
• Corrected the placement logic in OverlayGenerator_Standard so that manual adjustments are more consistent

Version 1.2.0

• Added a default thermal config for spears
• Quaternions now serialize correctly
• Fixed version number on the Plugin class

Version 1.3.0

NOTICE: I made a mistake submitting this version. Thunderstore will call it 1.2.1; it is actually version 1.3.0

• Changed configs to use item names instead of using checksums. This is to improve consistency, but will likely cause issues during updates.
• SightConverter_Standard now sets default shader properties when converting vanilla thermal scopes.
• Fixed the Combat Shotgun's config

If you have issues:

• Delete BepInEx/GameData/ThermalOverlay/ThermalOverlayConfig.json to reset the config file, so it uses the new mode
• If you have custom configs, change it to use Items instead of IDs, and replace the ID numbers with the item names. Item names can be found in the config file; they're the gun's actual name, ie "Omenco exp1".

Version 1.3.1

• Fixed default config file not being generated
• Added warning about version 1.3.0 being misnamed
• Changed shape of diamond mesh to remove bugged halo effect
• Fixed a minor bug where FactoryManager.BaseName could incorrectly return the parameter list if only passed params and not a name

Version 1.3.2

• Fixed inter-mod support by moving thermal shader to the end of the material list (as opposed to the start)
• Added CleanScopes support, so dirt defaults to zero when the mod is installed
• Improved SightConverter_Standard(Thermal), so that non-thermal scopes can see shadows when converted
