About This File

I've been using this as a personal mod for some time, thought I may as well post it for the rest of you who want

a more functional scope, that still looks like the original one.

 

This mod alters the Base scope for the Disruption Rifle. It adds a cross-hair to the center so you can actually see what you are aiming at. It also removes a few shaded sections for improved clarity. There are three versions,

  • zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz_ImprovedScope(No Black Edges).pk3 - Removes the solid black edges from the Base scope, allowing you to see the entire screen rather than a small area in the centre as well as the changes listed above.
  • zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz_ImprovedScope(Black Edges).pk3 - Doesn't remove the black edges. Only adds the cross-hair and removes a few shaded areas.
  • zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz_ImprovedScope(Semi Transparent Black Edges).pk3 - The black edges have been made semi transparent.

 

To INSTALL the mod, place the chosen pk3 it into your gamedata/base folder. If this doesnt work, also add it to

your gamedata/japlus, clanmod, etc folders for every game mod you play on.

Personally, when I installed this mod, I felt that the Base scope looked really odd with its old border removed. That said, the increased visibility is a true blessing, and it makes you wonder how you ever got by using the DIsruptor without it. Whilst not as aesthetically pleasing to eye as perhaps some of the other scope altering mods out there, the practicality of this one makes it well worth keeping in my opinion.

I think the crosshair added to it is good, but the increased visibility is a bit irritating.

Surely decreased visibility would be irritating? You find it annoying to be able to see more? If that is genuinely the case, I guess I can make an optional version that puts the black stuff back on...

I installed this mod and tested it out, the whole idea is innovative, practical, and way better that it used to be, taking into consideration the comments above, my best bet would be to make the area outside the border not total black, but with decreased brightness, so that you can see if someone comes by the movement there and at the same time focus better on your current mark, All in all, not total black nor total visiblity as it is now, something in between would balance the whole thing perfectly :).

 

Cheers mate!

 

And keep up the good work!

Consider it done.

This mod gets a 5/5. Heck, it gets 10/5.

Not only has the scope been improved by an actual crosshair, which makes a huge difference in aiming, but you have made the effort to make an improved vanilla scope, and some with improved visibility. My favourite is the semi-transparent visibility one, as it has a perfect balance of showing just enough so you don't miss out important info on the screen, but also bright center enough to keep the focus on your closest sorrounding. It's so very simple, but it makes so much difference. This is a keeper.
