Improved Church's Observation Scope

dmlavan · 07-18-07, 11:20 PM

After a lot of trial and error, I have made a redmask (night filter) for Church's excellent Observation scope.

This mod replaces the observation scope - which appears identical to the attack scope - with Church's variant, and includes a redmask/night filter that is shaped to the periscope sight.

Note that this mod is NOT JSGME-enabled but must be manually added.

Cheers M8.

I turned dmlavan's post above into a JSGME version for use with stock or unmodified menu_1024_768.ini file:

dmlavan! U are da man....been waiting for this fix a long time,

This looks cool !
Downloaded and will try it soon.

Good work.

danurve · 07-19-07, 08:36 AM

Well well, this looks way cool

I admit I don't use the O scope much, but this might slab a reason to.
Question is this mod cross universal for all the subs or just one type?

dmlavan, could you fix those screen links so we could get a closer view?
Thanx.

Must be universal as the files in ...\data\menu\gui are universal. Otherwise it would have been in one of those NSS* folders where the textures are stored for each type seperately.

That would be nice

. So we could take a closer look without starting SH. No time for this right now.

Great work dmlavan

I've also been waiting for this fix for some time.

Here's a big screenshot of the night one he made:

Yes - this Observation scope is universal for all the boats. Thanks for the kudus - it took a lot of trial-and-error, but I only got this figured out with a lot of help from some great modders. And, of course, Church who did the original scope! His mod is the only reason I ever used the observation scope.

Cool

:hmm:

Nice work

BTW, maybe someone could answer this for me?

When we goto the Peri or Obs station ingame, what are we seeing?
Do we see a representation of the eye piece lens or the external lens?

:hmm:

This should be the external lens you see. The shape fits better and it would be more realistics anyways. Because if you press your head agains the peri's headpiece you don't see any shapes of the lenses directly in front of your eyes anymore.
The same when looking through binoculars.

At least this sounds logic to me

I guess the stock obs scope was wrong?

ichso · 07-19-07, 12:21 PM

As the obs scope's purpose was to scan the horizon for aircraft it would be more logical the way the modded obs scope looks because the wider vertical angle lets you do this better.
