randomas. I was planining to look more deeply how the reticle is rendered to find why it isn't on Linux. What eludes me is that the red part of the ACOG reticle is rendered, but not the black part.

It looks like that one certain kind of black isnt rendered at all on Linux.
Not just on the HUD but even textures in the map or 1st person weapon models.

During 2.9 beta testing I reported the door textures in eas-inf-iraq as bugs - see attached image. But they looked fine for all others testers (not using Linux).
IIRC Erehwon Raekwon changed the textures after that.

I have like only 3 keys left, all used for communication. And even if these 3 are enough, they are spread over the keyboard to far away from beeing pushed fast enough.

So, key combinations is better.

Key combinations are fine as long as they are easy to operate. Geo, I don't suppose there's a way to make it 'hold down the attachment key, then press toggle aim'? I find it quite difficult trying to get both key and mouse button pressed at exactly the same time .

What's the problem? My aim button is "right mouse", attachment is "G", no problems to hold them both at the same time.
How is it with your configuration Crowze?
And what key do you use for aim Goegob?

Use key is not a weapon key, so maybe it wont work, but what about using the use key? Push the use key when aiming, or hold it and push the ROF key could change the range.

And there I was hopeing for a simple solution.


That's some weird keyconfig! Am I the only dinosaur still living in wasd land?

P.s. I'm worse because activate attachment is middle mouse (mousewheel click).

Can't you use a slightly less black, black? like R:1,B:1,G:1 or if that aproximates to 0 and generates the same behaviour even 20,20,20 it's still pretty black.

Then Again I think I may be just about the only one still playing inf under linux, so I'll try and keep myself from asking for a linux patch with off-black reticules... Ooops I just have!

The idea behind it is sound as I find using esdf makes more sense than wasd cause it leaves more free keys around your fingers. I just don't want to retrain my habits ... I may give it a try though

Don't talk to me about dinosaurs, i still use the arrow keys for movement.

I Lov numpad config, all primary functions gets so near... first time Ive used this was playing Deus X (so many commmands) in my IMac (cyclops mouse, couldn´t ever think about using left or right button to anything else ;-P)

Joint Ops has zeroing (thou its not that realistic game) and its quite easy and neat to use... If its not that hard to implement code wise, I say: why not try?
As real as it gets, remember... ;-D

The OICW eletronic zeroing feat is "a hand in the wheel" (as we say here), and it could be suppaduppa if all scoped had such feat...

WASD for life!

Asking people for their key config actually can help to define key combos.

Heh, I played Unreal in 1998 with arrow keys. And weirldy I used the mouse with the left hand .

Finally the M16A4 got black, but byside the color I always had another problem with the M16A4, the rail hand guard.
In INF it is simply to huge in comparison to the real thing. The M4A1 has the heatshields attached, the M16A4's rail hand guard has the same size without the heatshields, which is wrong.

Hope (really hope) the modeller will update the M16A4 by making the rail front grip smaller (thinner) and adding the heatshields on the right and left side, EXACTLY how the 3rd person model allready has it.

See the attached picture, it is the M16A4 from Insurgency, with the same heatshields attached on the rail on the right and left side (just how the 3rd person model in INF) and the rail front grip is thinner, how it should be.


BTW, can you make the M16A4 even more darker .

@trijicon reflex sight:
Wouldn't it be better to have the red dot beeing displayed over the front sight, not exactly aligned, because I think an attached trijicon doesn't have the same height like the frontsight pin, when the dot is in the exact center of the lens.
You can however lower the head more to align the dot and front pin, to have a better aiming on distances, but the dot wouldn't be centered.

I also would like to use the dot only, without to have the frontsight blocking the lower view all the time. I like using the HK416 red dot even more, because the dot is open.

Best would be like in the second attached picture, where the normally aimed trijicon sight is centered with the lens, but the frontsight is lower. Holding the aim key the dot and pin get aligned for more comfortable distant shooting.


Also, the dot is pure Orange now, which is good, but make it better Orange-Red.

@M4A1 recoil:
I'm not an expert on this case, but seriously, I think the recoil is to exeggerated exeggerately. I mean it kicks like a horse. The 3rnd burst on the M16A4 is so comfortable, but fireing off 3 rounds with the M4A1 you almost end up looking at the sky.

randomas: today I will have a new beta ready of the VSSV. I will try to change the texture for the reticle so that it's not black. I will contact you for you to try it. If it works, I'll use the same textures for the M14DMR and the M82 reticles.

Not sure yet if I can use it for the M4 Acog.

You're my hero!

Oh before I forget the binoculars suffer the same problem (not that I mind the extra visibility)!

My gamma setting is on 7/11, I hate washed out g(r)eyness, as you know allready, but 6/11 makes a clear day on a day map look like a near dawn, or during a heavy storm.
So, I'm the least one gamma whoring.

No, the skin is finally good, but to be honest I would prefer it like the Insurgency picture .
