 :I remember two sniper scripts. One with prone mode and one with advanced zoom. Haven't found the second script so far. <strike>(A combined version would rock.)</strike> (Ahh, I forked the wrong function, zoom works and the other script is redundant now. ^^)
-:Here's a [http://www.paradox.oni2.net/AE_vid/sniper_mode_(xvid).avi xvid (66 MB)] made with script one. Something useful in there? How many seconds are needed? --[[User:Paradox-01|Paradox-01]] 15:46, 15 August 2008 (CEST)

 :That footage is good, thank you 'dox. Do I understand that there is also a zoom function? I never got the mod to work, so I'm ignorant. If there is a zoom, I would only ask that you record another few kills that use the "scope", perhaps on another level to keep things interesting. Thanks. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 18:04, 15 August 2008 (CEST)

 :To show off the sniper mode in detail you need 2 to 4 seconds; it can be part of a considerably longer sequence labeled "new gameplay". Here is a video I released a long time ago: http://geyser.oni2.net/_VIDEO_/WMV/RifleScope.wmv . Not the best-looking variant because of the time it takes the engine to interpolate the mismatching elevation of the camera, but it should give you an idea of how to show off the key features: the crawling is so-so, but crouching or relocating sideways from prone to prone look nice enough. You'll probably want me to update the script to make the zooming transition look better, but I'm not sure when that'll happen: http://geyser.oni2.net/_VIDEO_/WMV/RifleScope.zip --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 18:26, 15 August 2008 (CEST)

 :Hey, I really like those! I think that, unless there's something there that geyser's not happy with, that footage should be fine. It looks cool to me. I would prefer at this point if you could help with some of the other recordings, such as the ones I have trouble with (like the Mukade clones; the main problem with Loser's footage was the textures on the Mukades was messed up, and the mod's not working on my Mac yet). --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 22:50, 15 August 2008 (CEST)

 For steady aiming, try changing "gs_input_accel" [[User:Gumby|Gumby]]
 :AFAIK, gs_input_accel has nothing to do with the mouse sensitivity. Rather, it defines the "sensitivity" of manual camera panning. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 06:57, 16 August 2008 (CEST)

+::;Dox
+#by expeditive I mean [[wiktionary:expeditive|expeditive]]... what do ''you'' mean by "than these 2 second somehow too less time" ?
+##Wait till I fix the script so that the zooming is more natural; and practice leading moving targets smoothly (reducing your mouse sensitivity in Windows will help)
+##The awkward zooming is less awkward than it could have been, granted. Maybe do the magical respawning guys on ACC(exterior), SP2?
+#in both cases you relocate "long" after you've zoomed out; it could be more exciting if you strafed/crept/rolled "directly" out of a zoomed view of an enemy shooting at you
+##carousel is not half speed, so doubling the speed of your footage would give us footage slightly faster than normal; it's OK; as for bullet time: it's easy to include in any mod; it's a bit slow and "trivial" for the trailer...
+##would be more impressive if he had a plasma rifle or a WMC, definitely
+#just set up the above ideas and the others - the final recordings must be done with a fixed script, unless you scrap the zooming, which I don't think is a good idea.
+##If you want an original-looking extra, you can play as a sniper and shoot an AI Konoko: one that's dashing to a console or flag - or one that's fighting against a bunch of enemies (in that case the scope should make you able to get a good view of the brawl and then take out Konoko when you get a clear shot or are feeling lucky).

+*[[wiktionary:expeditive|expeditive]] doesn't exist but I now assume it means "fast". And that's my dilemma: I'm not a that fast sniper. Going into sniper mode, zoom, adjustment, shoot, impact - it's hard to get all in 2 seconds.
+*WMC and sniper is kinda a contradiction in terms but lets try. How about a red or grey suit for him?

+*Playing as hostile sniper sounds promising. --[[User:Paradox-01|Paradox-01]] 00:16, 20 August 2008 (CEST)
