I just installed this mod to accomplish Diurnal Dynamics. It looks very good, and I like that one can adjust the effects to their liking, even in multiplayer. I'm happy with the halo concept for the nightvision. Especially because it also deactivates the light in remote view, which despite practical, I found too unrealistic.
I saw in the item description and in the changelog that the equipment type is currently 'energy-shield-equipment'. Out of curiosity: The base nightvision has energy consumption and capacity, too. Does the overhaul not work out like this?
