Question:
Would you rather have a scope, or have it removed completely?
Option 1: Scopes please, it's pretty!
votes: 16
Option 2: No scopes, they are intrusive to gameplay.
votes: 5
So here it is. I am creating a second Common.lvl after much messing around.
So far all the reticles and most of the HUD is done.
What I would like to know is, would you rather have scopes or not? I have recently worked out how to remove the blurring effect which occurs when "zooming in".
I have also messed around with the majority of the effects.
This mod is 100% compatible with the CCSC and the ImpSC, thanks to Phobos for helping me out there.

[Please not the reticules in the below attached screenshots have not been sized correctly yet.]
If you want to help test, just say so!
Scopes on snipers and shotgun, i guess ill test but can i test tomorrow?
Or you could make two, one of the scope lovers one for the scope haters :D
i wonder how u can aim with those big xhairs Oo
I suggest using scopes, even though I hardly use then.
I'd be happy to help you test or get some ideas.

Please note the reticules in the screenshots have not been sized correctly yet.
Very Nice Unit! If you need more testers count me in :D
It turns out resizing cross hairs actually makes them bigger on screen, unlike everything else in the game (which remains the same size and increases in definition).
WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THAT?

Excellent idea! I shall make a minimal common.lvl and a shinny in-your face common.lvl
Feel free to post ideas you have in this thread!
Probably, it's because reticules, can be edited with no common.lvl editing.
It's cud be interesting to see, a pic of the new scopes...

Sereja, I remember last time you suggested adding a .tga.option file to prevent the weird saturation effect. Err. How do make one of those? Or could I just repurpose an existing one and rename it, and then give it the appropriate attributes?
Errr... More pics after I've had some dinner.
Well, I am usauly just copy and rename those tga.option files. Also, you can copy any from assets, and just copy & paste needed text line in to the file. They will work's anyway.
Where's all the Aubresh?! That's what I liked about it most! :(
the .option is just a txt file, so use a txt editor to edit it.
Valid entries for the tga .option files are in the first part of the misc_documentation.doc in the BF2 mod tools.
Since .doc is such a convienient format and everyone has the bf2 mod tools installed, I included an html version of the file.
(I went with html to preserve the tables, if you need a different format, like rtf, ect, I can do that as well.)
UNIT 33 i could also be a tester if you want
Sorry guys, I have to do some serious work for a couple of days I shall hopefully send you an alpha-testing addition next week.
I can test too if you like, did not see that part :P
Here's some pictures of the scopes!
Ohh! I love them! :cheer:
If the holographic blue one seems familiar it's because it's based on the "Republic Commando" scope.
I shall release this for testing once I figure out why my Shotgun reticule won't show.
AMAZMING =^_^=!
I love it!, Looks like one I was making to mimic SW republic commando!
Good job(https://www.swbfgamers.com/Smileys/macx/tu.gif)

If your referring to the forth image, no. I have since changed the Arc-caster lighting to yet another colour.
I hope it's colorful too :D
Here it is for your testing pleasure http://ge.tt/6hQcPyU/v/0?c.
Bugs: None
Please reply with suggestions for improvement.
If you happen to take any nice screenshots, dump them here too :)
I shall test it and take pics as soon as i get home(10 min) :P
Looks brilliant Unit. Just downloaded it, can't wait to use it :tu:
uh might not have bugs but one thing is that BUG(I Guess): Its making the game slower lagger and almost crash but its in WIP but just a feedback unit i dont know what causes that?
the wookiee nade launcher is a giant black opaque rectangle
the other xhairs look nice
i suggest adding a selector box tga back since not knowing what you selected in a menu can be kind of annoying

No idea, didn't get any of that lag on my end.

Also strange, when I tested the bow-caster it it was working fine.
I guess I accidentally made the selector transparent too...
Perhaps this is some unknown OS issue because I did all the testing on my Mac.
Well this is why we've got this here testing period.
I did not lag? I only played with rocket and sniper and pilot :D, those scopes were nice, when you click your profile name the um...outline isn't there though, or server name :P :P
I did a test just to see if it was a PC problem or if the problems were on a Mac as well. ( I used my SWBF Mac copy )
First off I have to say that I love it! It is so cool! I recognize SK's effects in there as well. ;) The effects might have caused you to lag out but that is unlikely because my computer could handle them ( the EMP blasts cause a bit of lag ).
The same with the selector box, it wasn't there.
The wookiee grenade launcher was there for me. So maybe it is a PC problem...
Overall I think it's awesome! But a couple suggestions if you want it to be even more awesome!
*Give the droideka shield impact an effect, like when a bullet hits the shield it has a ripple effect
*Make the reticules move when you load something up ( bowcaster, DN Bolt caster ) or when you are tracking a vehicle. Like in Sereja's mod maps.
My favorite reticule by far is the pistol. I haven't tested the effects yet but so far it's a nice mod.
I found out the grenade launcher is a black box for me because my ODF calls on a different reticule TGA which is not in your common.lvl
Did you do anything with the scripts or are those not being used?

I presume that I installed the scripts correctly.

Yes. The moving reticules is something I do want to use, but I think it requires modification of the weapon .odfs? I can't remember... I'll have to re-look into it.
This is a great common file!! Awesome job Unit. My only suggestion would be to brighten the Health and Ammo levels in the top right/left corners if possible. I like how there are individual bars in the health, I only find them hard to see because they are dim in brightness.
