Zoom sensitivity

[D'Artagnan]

Is there a way to configure the sensitivity of the Zoom, when you zoom its like youre sens goes from 3 to 10...so its hard to aim with that sens !!!

[o'dium]

I know its crazy, it just stays the same... Odd...

That's because it's not a zoom. It changes your fov to like 20. Just bind a key to lower sensitivity and zoom, and then back to the opposite.

Most good players don't ever zoom. It's not really needed if you have decent aim.

Zoomed machinegun does more damage though

Seriously? In both SP and MP?

All pro's use zoom. and even more so in Q4... so this problem needs to be sorted asap.

Yes*,you inflict more damage in both singleplayer and multiplayer when using zoom with machinegun

Nice link there Req, keep up the good work.

I wonder if they ever fix the _impulse bind issue if ppl will be able to make a bind that zooms to the same current fov and just repeats rapid fire so as to get more damage out of the gun.

That's kind of ridiculous. They compare the weapons to the ones in Q2 and Q1, not the ones in Q3.

i just need a script so that when u zoom in its not so sensitive, cant even move the mouse without it jumping all over the place.

Try this:

Code: Select all

// Zoom script that changes FOV and sens. Separate keybind required to use real zoom mode for MG (+2 damage) and RG.
set	 ua_zoom		"vstr ua_zoomin"
set	 ua_zoomin	 "set ua_zoom vstr ua_zoomout;g_fov 50;sensitivity 3"
set	 ua_zoomout	"set ua_zoom vstr ua_zoomin;g_fov 110;sensitivity 6.8"
bind	mouse2		 "vstr ua_zoom"
bind	w			   "_zoom"

Adjust the keys (mouse2 and w) to your liking.

[Psyche911]

I don't get it. What are the functions of mouse2 and w exactly, and how do they differ??

[ex-28]

awosme script ,

but is there a way to have it set so that when u zozom in it isn't as seccitive when u hit the zoom button ?

that way we can jsut hit the zoom button it will zoom in and do it all in 1 shot ?

stead of zooming in then hittin anotehr button to lower the sencitivity (like it is now)

riddla, Psyche911, thanks for your positive comments. The guide is very much work in progress, I've had the game just over 2 days so there's a long way to go yet =)

Keep up the excellent work, it's good to see Quake3World still around.

[Oeloe]

I don't get it. What are the functions of mouse2 and w exactly, and how do they differ??

Mouse2 (your right mouse button) executes the zoom script (lowers FOV and sens). The W bind uses the built-in _zoom function that enables sniper mode for the MG (does 7 damage instead of 5 in normal mode).

The problem is you can't combine commands that begin with _, like _zoom and _impulse2. So with my script you need to click mouse2 and then hit W to have low sens with the MG in zoom mode. There isn't another way currently afaik.

[Jenny]

Oeloe, good effort, but unless zoom is one click its pretty pointless.

Could you use executing configs to get this script working? Perhaps executing a cfg each time you zoom in and out?
