Scope Magnifaction

[SkaterBoy]

Is there any way to get the scopes to work with the increase & decrease magnification in the Joint Ops games?

In all the DFBHD versions it works fine.....

ive never played it b4, but i edited the weapon.DEF in the localres.pff in the DFX game folder when it had scope probs

nova removed the zoom from the scopes in an update last year to "combat" the use of snipers

there is talk of it been used as a server option soon though

they drop that ID sniper zoom scope is out totally.

i know it kills the game off not able to snipe at all, i can't see no then at all. when i use it, its is set to high and all things are to close to use it.

i pan around to look for a target i like to zoom in as i spot something. there was some other bugs in their socall patch that kill it off too.

I no longer care about JOTR it is dead. NL got there money and for say rented game for 6mo it was ok till they did the update no more for me.

i hear DF: Xtreme snipers scope are set the same way, i am not buying the game at all. if it had a intro in it i may buy it for that only item. but it don't have a intro i buy another game.

i not mad at them, i only don't like it now. it was a great game. i like playing support fire team member.

You don't need scope zoom.

If you can't get a decent scope picture you are either using the wrong weapon or you are too close.
(hope you are not one of those noobs who blast away with a barret at targets 300m away)

Guess what the binoculars are for.

its dead

latest update finally fixed it.

yayyyy! is fixed!

I just Googled this and it seems that they are up to their old tricks, some servers I go to have zoom and others, like mine, don't.

Any info on this 'old' subject is greatly apprecitated.

I have to agree with William here, even with DFX2 the single shot option on the m16/m4
has been removed, which is just plain weird, having to adjust the scope to the target is a hassle even in real life, but that is the operation of the weapon, thats what you have to do, again very weird not doing that function, even in this 'game'
perhaps nova realised they were a bit to realistic.....lol

From what I have heard, JO has the option to remove the sniper scope zoom, as well as a couple other No-Goods.

As far as DFx2, It depends on which sniper rifle you have, Barret has no zoom, dragunov has 1 zoom setting, and M24 has the most.

The weapon modes have been "Simplified" for whatever reason.

To be fair, snipers used to be way to powerfull back in the old days.

I think the Sniper weapon is only as good as the Guy using it. But mentioning the old days, you could relax on a mountain or hill, 1000 MM away from the Enemy and still be able to get a Kill shot in. This depended on your scope setting etc. But Not everyone could do it. Does that make sense.

So I have learned that the newest jointops.exe does let you zoom scopes.

You have to go to your game.cfg and find the mpscopezoom (not exact spelling).

The mp is for multiplayer and it has to "take" that is mine wasn't actually changing the file in the server when I edited it.

In the server game.cfg you may have to download the file, edit, and upload, then restart the server.

0 = No
1 = Yes

So make sure your mpscopezoom = 1

Also, I am running the IC mod on my server, but it shouldn't matter.

As far as 1k shots go, yes, they are achievable with the proper weapon. I use the 82 for those shots and it is spot on once you dial it in.

I hope this helps...
