The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: If you already have the code ready, why not make a PR? It could do with being a bit 'murkier' and more grainy. I've narrowed it down to the -3 to +3 brightness setting by way of alt + page up or page down. If not, then we are basically "nerfing" ourselves. I'm still trying to get either the -3 to +3 NVG brightness working consistently, which is Ace and not yours and often turns off if I go in and out of options, or to get NOD Colorize to work, which never does. If the existing class has a property defined as well, the new value is used for the new class. Enough of that though.
