How Many Of You Use Custom Scopes? - Page 2

I find the full screen scopes to be weak and kind of a cheat. Since a scope when you look into it is circular not a square.

cheat? full screen dont really offer much of a bonus unless your snipe camping like a li'l bitch. if your constantly moving from spot to spot after killing one or two people you dont need widepan scope.

anyway cant be bothered to post screenies but i use animated scopes, groovy little inward pointing arrows at the target area.

Hey I use some custom I downloaded here @ aa.com.
Pretty sweet.

Being stupid though I don't know how to attach screenshots. I'll email 'um to any who want them though. PM me for my address

How did you figure out how to do that RedEye???

Redeye · 11-02-2002, 09:44 AM

basically partly thanks to you doing that animated avatar thing, i downloaded it and found out abou the AnimMap script. after some experimenting i just adapted it, made 4 seperate tga's with the arrow's moving in each frame. because the tgas are clamped you need to clamp them individually so your shader looks like this:

textures/hud/zoomoverlay
{
surfaceparm nolightmap
nomipmaps
nopicmip
{
clampmap textures/hud/zoomoverlay.tga
clampmap textures/hud/zoomoverlay2.tga
clampmap textures/hud/zoomoverlay3.tga
clampmap textures/hud/zoomoverlay4.tga

animmap 5 textures/hud/zoomoverlay.tga textures/hud/zoomoverlay2.tga textures/hud/zoomoverlay3.tga textures/hud/zoomoverlay4.tga
blendFunc blend
}
}

i switch back and forth between custom and default. I don't know y though i just like all the realistic scopes.

I was kidding Red! I know how you did it oOo: but why did you clamp the tga's?

Redeye · 11-02-2002, 03:28 PM

if you dont clamp the tga's when the game mirrors it all up the edges of the tga's don't meet properly and you get gaps between each tga, looks horrible. arg i suck at the animation thing anyway, there's a bit of flashing where i screwed up the some of the alpha's,
