Outlaws's zooming aim in DooM, possible?

[Ravick]

Hi there.

Please, take a look at 2:42 of this video:

is there a way to create this in-sprite zooming effect?

(If possible, zscript-free?)

Thanks in advanced.

Yes. Hideous Destructor does this with scopes. I believe it's using camera textures and a weapon/hud overlay.

(If possible, zscript-free?)

I think so? But you're really limiting the possibility space by avoiding ZScript.

Can be done in ACS (HudMessage) or ZScript (status bar) and cameratextures.

I have never had the bother to try to include the bobbing since I have no idea how that's calculated. EDIT: This discussion is relevant.

Here's a scope made with a shader that you can use. If you can find someone with the know-how to help, they might be able to set it to toggle along with the weapon of your choice (something I'm curious to learn as well). There's a test menu included to show what it can do.

Can you comment every line in "scope.fp"? I dont know where find meaning of functions.

I hope these comments are helpful. I also made some performance improvements and added a focus control.

This is a good link for functions, though I don't know if all are supported: GLSL Functions

I guess it is time to learn Zscript then. =/

I'm avoiding it by now because I'm making maps for a mod that must be Zandronum-compatible. But I know it is much more powerful then DECORATE+ACS.

Also, my version of Hideous Destructor must be rly old... It does not have scopes! I'll download it again...

Oh, and BTW, thanks for all the help, guys!
