Hey, great idea! Thanks man!. Couple of days ago i'd told a friend i wish someone doing just this and there it is. Its a kind of magic. So again, big thanks for putting this little beauty together.

Concerns:
Nothing so far.

Ideas/Kind of Wishlist .
You'd writing it in the notes already that you plan certain improvements, but it would be nice to have more choices of appropriate "masks" for the different helm types, e.g. heavy helmets with enclosed eye-holes should have the corresponding whole enclosure visible in the ego perspective.
Actually i've get a "north/norman" style helm view in ego perspective, where the lower part of the helmet is open, for the "heaume" or "great helmet" I'm wearing, which has only small eye-slits and the complete lower half of the helmet closed. Hope you get the picture.

Anyway, its already a great improvement of immersion, keep it up!

I'll get started on the graphics - you get that coding done :P

So that's my vision of the helm-sight for the helmet i'm actually wearing. I'd played around a little today and finally don't choose to make the exact original sight-shapes from the helmet as i'd initially planned.
At first glance it seems a good idea, but i'd tested it for a while and for my taste its to hart to see anything if the sights are as small as the original. It simply generates more frustration then fun.(at least with wearing a full enclosing great helm).
So i did choose the way in between, making the sight a little greater then the original, adding in a little metal looking polishing and that's it.
Make some battles since with this and what should i say: it's pure thrill!

This one is for a Heavy Altmer Orichalcum Helmet:


Any my ingame sight:


For the Autor of this great Addon and anyone else who want to use this:

heavyhelmet.zip

Just copy the dds file in the *\AddOns\KhrillHelmControlFOVaddin\Fov folder and edit the KhrillHelmControlFOV.lua file line 18 to the corresponding name of the dds file in the archive.

Decided to make the sights even larger then before including a little more polishing.

Two reasons:

First - if one wear a helmet with sights, then the sights are usually relative near to the eyes, because the armorsmith want to make sure that the fighters field of view is as wide as possible. Subsequent effect is - the sights seems to widen in diameter.
You can observe this common feature on real great helmets from the middle ages. In almost all cases the upper part of the helmet slopes back to the forehead as soon as it passes the prominent nose part.

Second - its just the fun, as i said in my earlier posting. Fun over realism, or as many realism as possible but not at any cost.

Think its a really good feeling now fighting with this addon from Khrill and my sights.

Free for use to implement in this great Addon from Khrill or any other usage. Usage descriptions are in the earlier post.

One without FoV-blur and a golden glimmer around the sights, cause as a High Elf, my Armor looks like the sun itself - golden and shiny!

And the same with a decent FoV-blur to simulate the inability of the eyes to focus on extreme near objects on the fringe of the FoV.

Sounds great

BTW, is there a way you could add an option to turn off all the automated options for the helm control addon? I simply want it to toggle my helm with a button. I've tried playing with the settings, but there is always something either removing the helm or putting it back when I don't want it to. Seeing as the FOV addon isn't stand alone.

Great work. I'll see about getting the packs sorted and uploaded through next week. And thanks for the little option on the helm controller.

You are a master of the code

*EDIT* BTW I noticed 3 little issues though. For some reason, on my side the addon is getting confused between 3rd and 1st person view. The mask turns off in 1st person and displays in 3rd. I've unchecked all my other addons - it's not a conflicting addon.

Also, right now you have it that the texture gets sized to the screen height wise, but the width bleeds off the screen. I would think having it the other way around would work better - let the image width adjust to the screen, but the height bleed off. This will help with lining up textures correctly and you can have a little fade in the texture at the bottom. That way, when you toggle the helm, you don't have a hard line sliding up and down your screen.

Lastly, the mask shows in certain menus but when you view the inventory it disappears and any chance to keep the mask when talking to NPC's?

You my good sir, deserve a cookie. And maybe a little statue...in some tiny town somewhere BUT a statue none the less! You are awesome.

Looks like this addon is coming along at a nice pace.

Will wait though as I do not have a rp character in play, too busy with alts and less play time

Hello mr. Genius addon creator!

I love the addon thus far though one thing in particular bothers me.

Personally I have a pretty big screen that I play on, and thus when I zoom in to use this AWESOME FOV perspective the massive amount of black blockage on the screen mostly seem overwhelming.

So what I want to ask is if you can make a opacity slider for the textures. I used to use a mod much like this one in fallout new vegas, and there the texture overlay had a slight opacity so you could still see the entire screen, but with the overlay still being very much "there".

That and a texture scale to adjust, or perhaps move the texture a bit vertically/horisontally to fit bigger and smaller screens a bit better.
