Avey 0 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Are you trying to zoom with your mouse wheel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STU_Snake 0 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 My mouse is messed as it is, ive gotn used to using r and t to zoom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zydecomon 0 Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 To answer your questions 1. The problem occurs when I use the wheel on the mouse to zoom in on a target. 2. DVS1 was one of the MODS, but the weapons work fine when I zoom in with the R and T key. The author sent me updated files to correct it with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DVS1 was one of the MODS, but the weapons work fine when I zoom in with the R and T key. The author sent me updated files to correct it with. Its because the .gun files are not configured correctly. I think wolfsong told me that, wait till he comes around here lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DVS1 0 Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hey avey2904 I've never come across this problem before dude, how could the .gun file not be configured correctly???? I'm interested to learn any new quirks that may affect weapon modding. Thanks buddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benmcl 0 Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Glad someone can solve this. Problem here to. Another problem I am having is that when I zoom everything goes white. I assume its part of the same problem. Damn, I forgot what mod it is. Don't think its the same one as the other zoom problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonnyfilmboy 0 Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 I had the same prob once when i was using the m40a3 in the 762mm Mod. Tried zooming with my mouse wheel with no result. But r worked. And when zoomed in, I could use the mouse wheel to zoom out (but not back in). I tried restarting the mission a few times, but no good. However, once I quit to desktop and restarted the game, it worked just fine. Figured it was a problem with my computer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SnowFella 8 Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Don't quote me on this but I think it has something to do with the Strings.txt file that comes with the mod. I've noticed that some of them comes with these lines in the Strings.txt file: "weapon_zoom_in"Â "Weapon Zoom In" "weapon_zoom_out"Â "Weapon Zoom Out" "analog_zoom_in"Â Â "Analog Zoom In" "analog_zoom_out"Â Â "Analog Zoom Out" And I hardly ever have any problems with those mods, but mods without those lines sometimes gives me problems.

benmcl 0 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Not sure if people figured out this problem but if they did sorry for bringing this from the dead. Figured it out awhile ago but forgot to post. The problem is indeed in the gun file but its in the zoom settings. <ZoomSettings> <Zoom>1</Zoom> <Zoom>15</Zoom> </ZoomSettings> As this is set you can only zoom 2 positions at the 2 extremes. <ZoomSettings> <Zoom>1</Zoom> <Zoom>5</Zoom> <Zoom>10</Zoom> <Zoom>15</Zoom> </ZoomSettings> Adding a couple of inbetween settings will allow more fine control.

GRIN_Wolfsong 0 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 It's even simpler then that. Many just enter 2 zoom options (I know I did at first) in the GUN file like this: <ZoomSettings> <Zoom>1</Zoom> <Zoom>10</Zoom> </ZoomSettings> Which means that the digital zoom will still work but the analog mousewheel will not. All that needs to be done is to add another step to it. I don't know if 4 works any different for analog (I don't think so but it will affect digital zoom) but 3 is the standard used by RSE/UBI. <ZoomSettings> <Zoom>1</Zoom> <Zoom>8</Zoom> <Zoom>10</Zoom> </ZoomSettings> Now it will work with the analog mousewheel. The engine simply can't make the mousewheel work right is it's only given 2 zoom steps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
