[WIP] Better Scopes 1.4 - Page 2

l3th4l · 08-20-07, 04:50 PM

As has been mentioned i'm about to release the new Version of my Better Scopes Mod, hopefully improving upon a few things.

it's been rebuild from scratch, has a new background, more pronounced darkening of the attack scope, and a new bearing indicator.

both scopes at daylight:

the new heading scale has been changed to replace part of the static lines that were there before. i have also tweaked it to the best of my abilities so that is actually showing each degree accurately so one can better estimate ones spread angle.

now to the downsides and why this thread has been named [WIP] and not [REL]:

this is the obs scope at night. as you can see it could become quite difficult to make out the markings if the lighting conditions become much worse... unfortunately i was not able to find a way to have every line the same color at all times. I could light up the heading scale at night wile leaving the other lines untouched or permanently lighting them up.
However *imho* it looks awful having two differently colored lines in there at once and i prefer having to look a bit harder. I'd like to know how many of you prefer it this way and how many would like the lines to be more visible at the cost of having them colored differently than the heading scale.
