Note: You may edit the texture name if you wish how ever I prefer to just simple use night vision
Creating You Own Custom Night Vision
To create my own custom night vision I used Photoshop CS2 but there are a wide verity of programs you can use. You need to have the VTF plugin installed to Photoshop to be able to make this work easily. IF you do not have this plug in you can download it hear installation documentation hear
Step One
Hold down Alt+Ctrl+Shit and Open up Photoshop and create a new document Under File/new
If u get a message prompting you to reset setting or discard old setting please do so
Step Two
Place the following presets to you new image to maximize quality
- Set your width and height to 1024 pixels and you resolution to 72
- Make sure your color is on 8 bit mod and you background is transparent
-----------------------Use picture 3 has reference ----------------------
Step Three
Pic a color and paint the back ground in so that you can no-longer see the transparent background
Step Four
Now set the opacity and or transparency for you layer this can be done many ways but to keep it simple I’m just going to use the opacity rang on the site as show in pic
You can add layers and a design like show in my first picture but this is only a basic tutorial and I will not complicate things so beginners. Just make sure u merge down all layers b4 this next step
Step Five
Once you have completed you new night vision you will need to save it. To do so you must follow these simple steps
a.) load selection- to do this go select/load selection
b.) Save selection to do this go select save selection (please do not name anything just hit ok)
c.) Make sure the new alpha channel is deselected
Step Si
Go to file Save As and select VTF format and place the save name has the name value from part one so for me it should be this nightvision because I had effects\nightvision in part one of this tutorial
Now a box will open up with vtf settings make sure you have the same box’s checked off has me in this pic

Step Seven
Place the vmt and the vtf (the files we edited) into the following directory
\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\<you name or email>\counter-strike source\cstrike\materials\effects
Have a look at your final product
