Proper zoom function for weapons

[randi]

Yeah, this is added now. (Sorry, BHS, the only things I used from your patch were the limits and the example SniperPistol.)

OMG FINALLY

YAYY!!! :D

no chance the fov changing could be extended to acs? :runs:

Really pleased that this is in.

[Never happy ] A way of allocating crosshairs to weapons (and states) and, maybe, adjusting mouse sensitivity too would improve it still further. [/Never happy ]

Awesome =) Looks like you got the smooth zooming in there too, nice. Since the fov scale is attached to the weapon instead of the player, I guess you don't have to reset it in the weapons deselect state, but doesn't that also mean you can't use this with pickups and powerups?

Nice, I've never been a fan of rifle type weapons in Doom becuase there was no way to use them apart from 'no scoping' but now that shouldn't be a problem.

What he said, although I think I suggested crosshairs before and that came to nothing, ah well

Mind you, zooming has been suggested before too and it came to nothing.

camera texture hack (that no longer works, evidently due to some changes in the Textures code)

little late but camera textures still work for me.

Does this command scale the mouse sensitivity along with the fov automatically?

Crosshairs: TEXTURES/HUDMESSAGE and a combination of inventory items? Though I think the crosshair would bob (if used via TEXTURES) then..

[randi]

doesn't that also mean you can't use this with pickups and powerups?

Correct, but is that necessary? If every item could change the FOV, you'd have to deal with the issue of multiple items trying to change the FOV at the same time.

It does now.

[Enjay]

It does now.

Excellent. Much more usable IMO. Any chance something could be done for the crosshairs? Being able to set a scope crosshair would be the icing on the cake. If the principle that has been adopted for the zoom could be extended - perhaps a pointer that changes to a pparameterspecified crosshair and stores it on a per weapon basis?

[randi]

That can certainly be done.

[Cutmanmike]

Yay!

Correct, but is that necessary? If every item could change the FOV, you'd have to deal with the issue of multiple items trying to change the FOV at the same time.

About the only situation I can think of if the mod is setup with a pair of binoculars that is an inventory item instead of a weapon for convenience purposes (so that their weapon remains selected, no need to switch to a binoculars "weapon" everytime they need to zoom in). I guess it's not a big deal anyway... the feature being available at all is already such a great thing, I'm sure a little compromise is fine.

As for multiple items trying to change the FOV... does the engine keep track of the sequence of active items added? The latest one should definitely overwrite the other ones.

EDIT: Regarding A_SetCrosshair... I don't see any way of resetting the crosshair back to whatever the user was using before. Or does it automatically revert back to the player's configured crosshair when switching weapons? I trust this function doesn't change anything in the INI though...

Many thanks for this feature.
