OK, since me trying to make the snipe rifle with a reticule online-compatible was met with a resounding "No," is it possible to make a mod so that the reticule shows up only offline? This has been specifically requested by some of the people I play with, and they need to both be able to play online and have a reticule to practice with. And...if it is possible to have online and offline separate, would it (the mod) be of a manageable size? Another thing they requested was that it be around 200 megabytes or under.

I think I saw such a lua function some time ago. I will see if I can find it.

EDIT: I found one but this might be easier:

You could make a small side file which includes all 4 sniper units.
Then you can use the custom mode support and add one to every shipped map, loading all default units, except the snipers, those get loaded from your custom side...I hope you got it.

It's late here so my post might make absolutly no sense.

Yep, I got it...it'll just take a little while for me to actually do it. Thanks for your help!

It actually hurts you if you practice with a reticule but play in-game without one. Any good mod would work online and offline, but any other mod would take too much effort to make. And you can always use a piece of tape. The better way to learn would just be to play a lot or to run around with the pistol and switch to the sniper rifle whenever you want to fire.

There is a function to determine if you are in an online game: ScriptCB_InMultiplayer()
