[POLL] Modding the Moggles

[comonavi]

I'm curious what the forum thinks of the many, many mods that replace or remove the "negative" filter.

[Duck986]

I just remove the filter. Doesn't make a gameplay difference but is better to look on, so I don't mind that.

[BezKa]

I would consider it cheating for myself, for others idk. There are far more cheat-y mods that are common use among the community I'd be more upset about.

[MagicalStorm]

My eyes hate it, I never thought about modding it out though.

moggles at 0 sanity actually helps visibility a lot. I'd like it if there were an in game way to adjust the vision at full sanity because it's not very pleasant to look through.

i wish wx78's optoelectronic circuit gave wagstaff's heat vision instead of moggle vison

My thoughts exactly. It is perfectly horrible just the way it is.

It was an interesting concept, the "negative" Moggles' vision, 1st couple of times I tried it long long ago. Then made me feel discomfort.

Nowadays I use a mod that filters out not only Moggles vision, but Insanity effects as well, Seasonal filters, Snow-on-ground overlay and pretty much anything else, leaving all elements with their pure color palettes like how they were originally drawn. This in turn makes for a very pleasant visual experience, with vibrant colors for beautiful print-screens, especially with Blooming: On. I really fancy it and don't feel like missing nought "immersion inducing". If anything, Insanity and Seasonal filters make everything dull gray-ish, particularly in Caves (I'm spelunking most times).

Cheating? This isn't a competitive game, not even in pubs. Are there people treating it like it is? For sure. Does that matter? Not at all. Play however you desire.

Moggle-vision is cool, the negative filter takes some getting used to though. The one thing I hate about it is when I'm wearing them at night above-ground and then the next day comes and I get blinded.

Oh wow, yes it does. I was playing as the "Charlie" mod character--the way she sees at night (in her shadow form) is just straight-up Moggle-vision--and at one point I was confused for a second because "Wait, it IS still night, right? Why is everything THIS bright?" until I realised my sanity was rapidly heading towards the toilet. Lol. (Edit: This particular picture is from an earlier play sesh where I was ALL the way insane. The recent one, it wasn't all the way to zero, but I didn't take a screenshot of that.)

Pictured: Insane-in-the-Membrane Charlie fights a fellow shadow creature. (And by "fights", I mean "gets hit by", because it's me playing.)

Spoiler

For contrast:

...what it looks like at night for Charlie if she _has_ been remembering to take her Vitamin CookedGreenCap. Aww, kitty! My fellow night-creature! <3

:P

I keep it on for the merit of it, but I don’t really have any strong feelings of it at all and don’t really mind if it’s off or not.

[Juny Pear]

I personally keep it on, but I can fully understand if the filter would hurt someone's eyes, or if they would have a hard time seeing with it due to a condition.

I think it'd be a cool thing if there was a setting for certain filters to be off or lessened for clarity.

[maroonamanita]

For short bursts the moggles filter is alright but I mod it out because it gives me a headache when using it for like half an hour like in the ruins. If there was a way to turn it down to like 50% or make it look how it does on low sanity that would be great and I would probably stop modding it out.

[Castiliano]

It gives me a headache after a few minutes of use. I use a mod to mitigate the effect, but it makes night vision extremely dark.
