I had some expirience with this (see pic below).
As I understand in CG (not only D3) it is not "true" technique when used some special texture which depends on players view (can be brighter for the same lighting).
Now I think about 'spectrum' material keyword and 'glow' Q4 technique.
Is anyone know how can this (night/thermal vision) be implemented?
Oneofthe8devils did that in his Predator mod I believe.

Thanks, great modification indeed.
Seeing at screenshots I belive that it was realized via ARB shader (when current render was processed with green filter and/or some lookup texture).
This technique has one problem - night vision as well as default view based on same lighting. In really dark places it tends to look bad.
Let say we stand in fully dark place. By default we don't see anything but with NV we do.
Just thinking.
I think the issue (and it's not really an issue, just the way the game works) is that you can't separate entities from the world via lighting. Old non-unified lighting games (Quake, etc) this was easily achieved by having the entities a different visual color then the world.
Real night vision doesn't work that way. check out pics of military night vision: https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A0LEViwObrxZSf4AaFEnnIlQ?p=military+night+vision&fr=yhs-mozilla-001&fr2=piv-web&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-001
It doesn't do it like older video games do, it actually amplifies the light & makes dark things brighter, bright stuff blinding.
If you could make the screen grey scale you could then apply a green hue to it & up the brightness+gamma and get the same effect.
Is it closer?
Can you up the gamma and brightness?
Done.
P.S. Hmmm, FPS is down.
Wonder why the fps is down.
Looks cool. You should try it in a doom 3 map to see how it looks.

You mean
Bladeghost... I wasn't involved in any of his mods.
Yes, my mistake. Got confused there even with the moddb profile staring my in the face. :)
