overlay screen with .tga-file

The GivePlayerDamage function uses a damage type as a string, not a file.

You would do GivePlayerDamage(..., "BloodSplat", ...); or something like that. There are a few damage types; I'm not sure what they all are.

Using that function might accomplish what you want, but you'll need a full conversion. I haven't worked with Amnesia in a while, but look into full conversion tutorials. I think Your Computer wrote a good tutorial on it a while back. You'll need to list your own directory for graphics/ or something like that. Be careful though, full conversions are curious beasts.

And if you want to do what Hirnwirbel suggested, it's definitely possible. That's how I created the pseudo-HUD. But you also need a full conversion for that, and it means that the entire game will have that goggles effect, not just a specific time, as using the damage screen effect would let you do.
