Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
You can. Increase it's drawscale. It won't clip either, but you'll screw up all the attachments and probably a few animations. It will look out of proportion in some cases too.FieldMedic said:
The problem is, I don't think many of you realize what you are asking for. A 'closer' FAMAS is not going to help for CQB until you've stuck the camera well INSIDE it's sight. Making it closer will only increase it's obscured range.
There are forces of perspective and visualization at play here that noone is taking into account. A real FAMAS is something you can hold in your hands, and shift slightly to reveal things. You can open both eyes and survey around this object, and you have a significantly larger FOV.
An in-game FAMAS is a sturdy block in your ONLY camera and means of surveying the world. You are far better off experimenting with transparency schemes (although you can tell by the attached image that ours aren't made with that in mind) than trying the unproductive shortcut way of 'making it closer'.

another way is to move its drawoffset back on the X-axis of course. this would only 'zoom' the weapon in and not the rest of the world.
btw... the drawscale of some of our weapons is really small already to get as close to the clipping plane as possible...

I seem to remember the opposite (making it far larger, at game execution time) would allow for more 'detail' at a greater distance. Messes things like mag location up pretty well, though.Beppo said:
Just want to say again, I really like the new three position aiming system,
1. Hipped
2. Shouldered
3. Sharpshooter zoom with breath control
Hope a new version with multiple shots while zoomed will be available soon

Sorry, but zooming is unrealistic, while having your eye close is. I think we can have such zoom for a binocular model (which would be useful to identify targets)Silver_Ibex said:Just want to say again, I really like the new three position aiming system,

This one is working on- and offline fully now (was even not working properly if you picked up a weapon from a dead bot for example).
The AimView is now working like the breathing... you can control it only while aimed, not moving, not leaning (besides leaning while prone) and holding your altfire button/key. Firing still turns the view 'off' to not allow some sort of ACOG zoom effect (a 'full zoomed on auto' was this called before I guess).

Is it possible to make it so that if you continue to hold down the button the view will rezoom after you fire after a few seconds? It's a pain to have to keep letting off and reclick.
Also is it possible to set the zoom so that it centers on your weapon not the center of the screen?

Using a mouse to aim a weapon is unrealistic, yet games must work around available equipment and hardware, making the sights easier to see is a good thing, especially for those with small monitors or low res
For those worried about players aiming their weapons making the game un-fun, I am surprised, since all the weapons including pistols would have the same abilities, unlike with the ACOG that only fits on some auto rifles.
Since it is also in mutator form, it would not effect regular play, and if players wanted to stop and hunker down to aim and become sitting ducks, that should be up to them.
Beppo, please make the firing turning off zoom an adjustable option, I really would prefer not having a simulated flinch effect

I like the general idea of this mutator. I don't believe is something unrealistic. The sight sytem from humans is complex, we have to remember that the eyes don´t see anything, is the brain who is concentrating in a particular zone of the sight. The zoom is imitating it.
In fact, i think that is a good feature for the next Inf 3.0.

After playing with this mutator a bit I have come to the conclusion that the zoom should latch. That is to say that once zoomed it should stay zoomed until you move or lean etc. As I said earlier it would be nice to center the zoom so that the sights are in the center of the screen. I also think that the free aim area should be reduced to reflect the fact that you have locked the weapon in a tighter grip i.e. you are resting your cheek on the stock and holding the weapon tightly against you shoulder.
I find this mutator to be more annoying tan useful, because it pops out of zoom as soon
as you fire a single shot. Perhaps you could have a seperate command control the zoom
that checks if the weapon is aimed, and then zooms. Enter the command (or the bound
key) again and it zooms out. If you unaim, jog, etc, it unzooms.

Newest version attached.
It now stays in 'zoom mode' as long as you are not moving around or being hurt, reload, aso aso. So it stays in zoom while firing now.
The little bugs with the weapon not showing while checking the scoreboard, the serverinfo or the weapon clipping into the mainmenu aso have been fixed too.

Very nice
At first I really was no friend of the idea at all. But this implementation seems useful and not too powerful to me. It's well balanced IMO
BTW - Is there any minor (but official) update planned, where some of the new mutators could be integrated as new (optional) features (e.g. GameSwitcher, SilentCapture, AimView)?

Why bother? Just run the mutators, while the SS starts work on INF3.0, after a short period of rest, of coarse.LongJohn said:
