[REL] CSL Deck Gun Optics

ColonelSandersLite · 10-28-09, 01:11 PM

What this does:
This modifies the gun sight so that there are hash marks along the vertical and horizontal line to help lead the target correctly. Especially helpful when firing at targets with large lead angles. The hash marks are not in any way calibrated into degrees or mils, but are equally spaced. Due to the way the game does the deck gun aiming, the hash marks on the vertical line are useless, but it looked wrong without them.

This isn't quite realistic, but it's more realistic than not having them. The reason is that in an actual gun crew, the sight setter is responsible for dialing in corrections in both elevation and windage. Given that in sh4 the only windage we can use is of the Kentucky variety, this mod provides good results.

Compatibility:
Should be compatible with all other mods that do not do the same thing. It only alters one dds file.

Installation:
JSGME ready
Install using the normal JSGME method. If you want to be 100% sure that no other mod will overwrite this one, install this one last.

License:
I made this mod primarily for personal use and I really couldn't care less what you do with it.

Of course I would remember *just after* I post it, but I think the optics I modified where stock. I'm honestly not 100% sure though, otherwise I wouldn't post this. If you did the originals and want a credit, feel free to let me know.

As stated in pm, it's not my address, but the address of the guy who wrote the license and is part of the legal document.

you might get some complaints over realism but i like the way it looks

Well, realistically you should be able to adjust windage to zero out the scope, but you can't in game so it's a compromise.
