I've never really seen one that would be "right" for an ACOG, in my opinion.

...would love to though.

have a scope to fit it! Only problem with the one I found is that the Rail and the scopes rail mount doesn't fit together. So you will have to resize it a bit. Here is a screenshot: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b166/leot486/ScreenShot31.jpg

Now in the picture below you will see the problem:

I like it even with the problem since it is minor and unnoticable. So what do you think?

I wasn't talking about the actual scope model, more like the overlay that you aim with. It just doesn't seem to fit the ACOG and was kind of a hasty decision. That one looks nice though. Although I'm pretty sure I made the old one fit just fine, I did edit it in 3D Max.

See I can't use 3d max or blender I tried but I failed epicly....So I just try to make due ^_^

So how do you make your own scopes exactly? By that I mean the overlay you see when you zoom in. I've been wanting to make an ACOG one for some time but I know you have to use it from a mesh or something? I'm not entirely sure on how it's set up. Any help would be appreciated.

Pelinor mentioned that he had a way to do it with Texture, but I have no clue how. He mentioned needing fose to do it. He also has a reticle resource on the Nexus.

Dissect the vanilla scope01.nif in your 3d editor and you will find the mesh that makes up the reticle or cross-hair. With all the big black layers, it's hard to find. Maybe a little easier in wire frame mode. When you make a mesh the way you want it, add vertex color to it of what ever color you want to see when you peer through. Export it and copy/paste it into what ever existing reticle you want to use, and of course delete the existing nitri cross hair that is there. Some of the reitcles I looked at had multiple cross hair mesh, I mean like 10 or 20 of them. They are not needed that I know of. I suspect they were created from an export/import error or something. The vanilla has a dds file attached that gives the 'blurred lens' look when viewing through the scope. Your preference really on whether to use that or none at all.

All that's really needed is a vertex painted black square plane to block the view other than the circle in the middle which is open. Then the cross-hairs or dot that makes up your reticle. If you want to blur the view you will need another circle mesh with an alpha property attached to the nitri and a semi-opaque texture to attach.

EDIT:
I'm sure you know this, but in case... When/if you make the semi-opaque texture, save it with at least dxt3 since the dxt1 wont save the alpha channel and you wont be able to see threw your new blurry lens.

Updated to version 1.1. Go patch it up!

I've got a good update planned for version 1.2. First off SteveDog has been working hard on a script to strip down an ACR and use the parts salvaged from it or create a new one from a blank ACR. The next bit is an idea I've compromised through an idea on FO3 Nexus. His request was to add in a C-Mag 100 round magazine to the gun. I first said no because as complex as the part swapping system is now adding an additional part to be used with all customized versions would make things even MORE complex. So I had an idea, why not use the magazine as a base for a new gun per se? Introducing the ACR LMG Kit! This kit adds the 100 round C-Mag with a fixed 14.5" (or longer) barrel that can't have a silencer attached to it. You can still customize the optics of course. I thought about using the C-Mag from the MG36 from FOOK2 (who made that? it's not in the credits) but after a closer inspection it would turn out to work better if I made my own. I'll keep you guys updated.

Wow, that sounds awesome. Will it will be under the Big Gun skill when that is attached?

It still is based off of an assault rifle, and given the type of LMG it is, one that bridges the gap between assault rifles and traditional LMGs like the M60 and such, I think I'll still keep it under small guns.

Hmmm, is there any way to tone-down the frequency that NPC's get this weapon? I just went through a metro station, and atleast 1 out of every 3 raiders had an ACR, and those babies hurt.

is it just me or does that autorevolver look a lot like the gun that one dude from ghost in the shell uses?

Seconded. I think they're popping up a little too frequently, as compared to the other weapons.

I use FOOK on my game so I haven't come across a single one yet, but I'll look into making them MUCH rarer on the raiders and more common with Talon guys and the like.



Yeah it's the same one pretty much.

Oh, that explains it then, since I use FWE.

If any new entrees need FWE'd, let me know through PM, Zealotee.

I will. I won't probably need it for a while probably. SteveDog is still working on a major script that's having some issues right now so I'm waiting for that to be finished. I also have to do the models and textures for the C-Mag and the bipod.

Here's a bit of an update, http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/images/11611-1-1272479787.jpg

SteveDog said he still had a few things to fix with the scripts so hopefully I should have this update out sometime soon.

Oh that's nice.

You must not mind the Pip-Boy Glove, eh?

Eh not much I can do about that really. The reload looks a bit odd too but that's because it's a very oddly shaped magazine. You really don't notice the clipping from a first person perspective anyhow.

Nevermind

No no no, I meant the presence of the pip boy glove on your characters hand instead of the outfit's... sorry about that.

I downloaded the ACR this past weekend. Have not yet found it but am excited to. I can't wait for the LMG to be updated into the mod.

I have already added the LMG to the part-swapping scripts, I just need to add it to the camo swapping and the new Field Strip and Reassemble scripts. It should only take a few hours total to get it done. So as long as I don't lose power due to the snow storm I should have my part done by this weekend. I promise you all that the new version will be worth a few more days of waiting, this thing is awsome!

Steve, are you aware that it is practically May. Where do you live that you are still getting snow? Eh...who am I kidding...NJ has experience snow in the spring too.
