Sniper vehicle (crosshair)

Post by checken »

Hey guys,

i think the most of you will know this question but i am really interested in this.
I can not find a good tutorial (which I understand) to make a "crosshair".

I just want to make a vehicle for swbf2 sniper troop. Many people said that it works, but i never found any examples or something like that.

Can you explain me what I have to do for this vehicle and which programs I really need?
And of course how can I "install" this mod into swbf2?

Hope you can help me, thanks!

Do you have the Mod Tools? Because if you don't then you can't do this.
Download Link: Download

For help on modding, read the documents included with the download and also use the FAQ/Everything You Need Tread Version 2.0 topic at the top of this forum.

To make a reticle, I think you need to do 3D modeling with programs like XSI, but I've never done anything like that so for help on that you should look in the 3D Modeling and Animation forum.

What do you mean by a vehicle for a sniper troop? :? If you just want to change the crosshair on a normal gun you could edit the skin, no 3D modelling required.

I mean I want to have this vehicle at sniper which you have if you zoom.

But I want this without zoom, so this vehicle is there, everytime.
I want to have this "visor" for the normal gun of the sniper troop. And some people said it works also in multiplayer... But how can I do this? This is my question...And I do not know how to edit the skin exactly, which program I need and how to install...


Thanks for help;)

Do you actually mean reticule instead of vehicle? Are you asking how to enable the targeting reticule for the sniper rifle when in the non-zoomed state?

Yes exactly. Sry for misunderstanding.
Many people called this "crosshair" and I want to know how to make this...

Do you know how to create a custom side? This will require that...

(Or you could use SetClassProperty, that would work as well, probably easier too...)

You'll need to have the modtools installed.

I have the modtools, now.
Can you explain me how create a custom side?
And if its easier to use SetClassProperty can you explain how I can use it and how does it work ingame? ;)

Thanks

Are you intending to enable the reticule solely for online play?

I don't think that's a good idea. It would give you an unfair advantage over other players.
