Sniper Line - advanced customisation

[L[0ne]R]

Yes, yet another "we wants moar customization" thread.

Don't you think that sniper line is just not "sniper" enough? If it's enabled/disabled on the server - this goes for every weapon, even for chainsaw.
But wouldnt it be nice to customise it your own way?
For example have it disabled for all weapons except Barrett (It's a bit gay not being able to use sniper line with sniper rifle), or maybe for ruger too. This will make it easier to use barett in zoom mode and again, more customization (yay).
Would be nice to have those settings customisable for both client-side and server-side. Or at least just server-side (for example as a weapons.ini setting - sniper line=0/1).



Also, I REALLY hope that the issue with sniper line being offset will be finally fixed..

Well, my vote is neutral.
I like customization, but for me sniper line is a feature that aids aiming in general. I don't find it related to any particular weapon - except only by name.
And personally I don't find it very helpful at all (but this is my own opinion).
And it shouldn't be an option in weapons.ini, rather somewhere in options or config.

Can you add a poll, please?

People use that useless line?

I don't even look where I aim, I just have a kind of sense of where it is.

I think anything related to the line is useless, people don't use it because they can't always use it.

I guess ALT+F2 could help to you.

(I'm not sure if it's that combination)

The sniper line is really good as it is. Let's just keep it the same.

Added poll. Sorry, was going to do that in the first place but then forgot about it. :/

I aggree that sniper line isn't really that useful, and I too prefer playing without it. But I think at least Barrett could use a separate setting for it.
When you have sniper line off, in your mind you still draw a line between your character and crosshair. But when you zoom in with a barrett, you can't see your character anymore, so imagining that sniper line becomes a problem (especially when trying to zoom and shoot in mid-air (I know that's not how barrett is supposed to be used, but sometimes you gotta pull off tricks like that ;| )).

I guess ALT+F2 could help to you.

(I'm not sure if it's that combination)

Yes, that's the combination that turns on sniper line.. but if it's disabled by server - you won't be able to use it. But maybe if there was more customization - more servers would have sniper line enabled at least for some weapons.

I always use the Sniper Line, it's the best when it comes to aiming! How is it useless? It help with aiming and makes it easier to shoot. Keep it as it is for all the guns.

Great idea 
Sniper line is an important feature of Soldat and would be great to be enable it for specific weapon only and I also hope that the line offset will be fixed as well.

You want a sniper line that can be editable/made so u make it for each weapon to see it path trail? Fyi, f11! Learn to shot ,damit

[amb2010]

I'm for this. It adds some extra modding abilities for some guns. Different gun cursors would be pretty cool also to go with the different sniper lines.

@ Sniper: He doesn't want to make it so for each gun so he can have the sniper line follow the path of the bullet(that, at least I think is impossible due to bullet drop anyways) he just wants it so that if you would like a sniper line for barret and no other gun or a different style for it then you can enable it for only barret or edit it for the other gun.

I really want all the weapons to have the "sniper line", it'll be better for us to see the arcs and etc.

[Gotfryd]

it'll be better for us to see the arcs and etc.

Having the sinper line show exact path of the bullet would be the stupidiest thing ever!
It's the most important part of skill - to learn how to aim.

I didn't mean that it's supposed to show the exact path (with bullet drop). I mean the good old sniper line that soldat already has. What I'm suggesting is an ability to set which guns are allowed to have this line on, and which ones are not.

If we can't customize it, it should be changed. That is my new way of thinking.
