It'd be nice to have it as one of the selectables from ns2+. But even getting it working on the workshop would be great, it was my favorite AV and was never updated with that content change two years ago or so
Isn't too much OP? Just a question, 'cause I never saw this AV before.
I have no idea if it even requires a lot of work or barely any work, if I knew how I'd have done it already. I'm surprised you haven't used this one before, it was probably the best AV out. It completely dulls out the entire landscape and just makes targets a yellow color which is very soothing/easy on the eyes and much better for tracking.
I have no idea how does this work regarding of the structures if the same kind of things appears in yellow as a simple Marine. But, compared to the previous minimal vision, this one is clearly more helpful & OP in my opinion, you can't miss your enemies there 'cause your eyes seem to be wholly focused on them.
The old Alien vision:
Personally, the old Alien vision is my favorite, definitely more useful as the minimal vision. This is a big feature from NS2+ that allows players to enable this AV, now, that's pretty hard to skip this AV on vanilla servers without that mod...
Yeah the original AV gave me motion sickness, which is when I tried out gliss's version and stuck with that until gorgeous I believe broke it due to some type of change, gliss had retired playing by then I believe and it was never updated.

Hoping someone knows how to do it
It looks like all you'd have to do to get this from huze minimal is change marine highlights to yellow from orange, and make non-highlighted areas greyscale.

I have no idea how to do that, and I also have no idea what the exact values were used in the vision! If I did then I would have done it (
Is their a tutorial on how to open up the files and view the RGB? I can try and do it myself.
Maybe @twiliteblue can help? Since this originally was his AV modified!
How I did this:
I took the .fx file (the old format before shaders were converted to .hlsl) and then opened the Natural Selection 2/ns2/shaders/DarkVision.hlsl and then copied pretty much. It was easier than starting from scratch since it already existed.

Thank you based samus
@Jekt That's not bad, but it looks just a bit 'golden' .. now we can both use the old one again
@Mendasp how would I go about putting this into ns2+ for my options? I see the folder with the alien vision shaders, but just dropping it in doesn't seem to do it

You can't just add it in the options, that would need to be added by him, but you don't even need ns2+ to run this because AV mods are not consistency checked
I know, it would have just been nice to have it in the options @samusdroid so what I did was just remove the default AV and replace it with this one, then set ns2+ to default and it runs it.
I can't recall if it looks exactly the same(probably because a lot of things changed graphically since then), but it is greyscale with yellow so thanks a lot!

It looks like colors. Everything turns grey and unsaturated with color, and enemies turn bright yellow.
Everything becomes greyscale and enemies are yellow, it makes the world seem less detailed which takes it out of focus and helps keep you on target
The one mentioned by @ezekel:

Code shamelessly stolen from other AV mods + trial and error.
