Functional GL Sights

[sakils2]

Can we has?

[AnimalMother.]

looks good, should probably be in suggestions


only thing is though with this sort of HUD doesn't it involve use of one of the existing menus, like the sniper rifle zeroing on the wookie mod?


edit::: that freemode thing is totally ninja! (imagines that on ironsighted rifles where deviation could be literally removed)

If it can be made to work yes. All of Mosquill's stuff is pure WIP and isn't strait forward coding. This stuff requires a lot of hacking the BF2 engine to make it do stuff it was never meant to do and as such, until we fully test it we don't know if its going to really work or not in practice but hopes are high

[killonsight95]

very good but doesn't that do all the aim for you? maybe just free aim mode would be coolz

No more than the current system, you still need to judge the distance (or cheat with the attack marker) and then line up the shot to the distance.

It's not really doing any aiming for you, it simply allows you to use the sights in a more realistic manner.

The current sights are sort of a ghost image that avoids the use of the actual sights. With the current method, you aren't lining up the leaf sight notch with the front sight. Instead you are just placing the target under the ghost sight's range line. It works, but not like the real thing.

With a sight such as the one shown here, it will allow players to adjust their leaf sight aiming depending on the range, and then lining up the sights properly in order to hit at that range. But it's in no way a "Gimme", as you still need to both estimate range and place the target within the correct sight picture. There is no gain or loss in targeting accuracy compared to the current version, it just adds a little realism to the leaf sight usage. In other words, it's mostly just for "show"...cosmetic.


It would be nice to see this working, but if it doesn't work within PR's standards then it's no real loss. But I'm all for more eye-candy.


What I'd really like to see is a new Quad sight using a similar method. I always preferred the quad over leaf.

It's a real beaut, what has been done up by Mr. Mosquill
Now how to apply it across the other UGLs..

This is not WIP, it's finished. I've already sent the files to UK_Force.

It doesn't require any hacking or stuff like that, it's done using solely standard bf2 coding.

It was already fully tested by Scouty in his sniper mod, it works just fine on both local and dedi servers.

I WANT THIS FOR .9!

anyway,this looks really good,now we can get of that stupid white aiming thingy

[Redamare]

Wow Nice demonstration ... did you do all that ? or like Rhinio said DEV WIP? lool i rellly like this feature i can never seem to hit Short range targets as well as i would want .... Longer range targets are hard too :S cuz your Crosshairs are WAAYY above the target you want to hit this could work GREAT for All ranges lol...

[tim8002]

Nice work, If it's already done, will we be seeing it soon?

[killonsight95]

Mosquill, can I please have your children?

Also, would a similar system work for sniper rifles, like the ones in Mosquills other videos?

It is ready.... for the M4. There are alot of other weapons that use M203. I think it will be a while until we will see it ingame.

[sakils2]

Theres only 3 weapons using M203- US Army M4, USMC M16A4 and IDF M4A1. Two isn't alot

this has only now been shown to the DEVs and only one weapon of numerous UGL's. dont jump the gun and expect it in the next release.

[Arnoldio]

Only free aim would be better imo, its more fluent and thats what the game needs

Maybe if you could come up with a similar system for aiming the gun itself

and G3A3, AK-74, QBZ-95, L85 ..... ok, maybe not M203, but grenade launchers
