FINALLY! Snipers are anti-everything, just as they should be IRL. Now, the Project Reality dudes just need to use these.

Hey, I've added accurate bullet drop markers to help the noobies out. Just read the distance, point and click.
Well it would've been worthless with the new zoom levels (5X, 10X, 15X, 20X) anyway.IHateHitboxes! wrote:

EDIT - For anyone struggling with the scope/ammo system here is how it works:
Move near a supply crate, you have to be really close. There's always one near flags, and the commander can drop them too.
Hold 'Q' and right-click to bring up the manual spot menu. It will have a list of available scope/ammo combinations.
Then select one and pick up the kit, that was spawned at your feet (press 'G' like in PR).
Your HUD will display some feedback while doing this, like so:
Finally, your ammo counter at the lower right will display what variant you are holding (notice the '15X AP'):

Now here is what the options mean:
20X - 20X magnification for your scope, same story for 15, 10, 5.
AP - Armor Piercing bullets. These will penetrate almost every material in BF2, but damage will be reduced. Heavier rifles (M109) will penetrate concrete and do about 30 damage still, while lighter rifles (DSR1) will not penetrate anything sturdier than wood. AP does less damage to humans compared to HP.
HP - Hollow Point bullets. These will devastate any human target (making all rifles 1-shot kill to the torso). They don't generally penetrate, although the glass in vehicles is an exception to the rule. HP gives decreased accuracy compared to AP.
Remember that this will all be influenced by the base damage and accuracy of a gun. In general, for the spawnscreen: damage goes from bottom to top, accuracy goes from top to bottom.

I hope I made that clear for you folks.

M109 or what ever it is FTW!!!! lol
I joined the server and my game crashed...
Are you joining the [V1.1A] WOoKie Sniper MOD server? The others are running the old version...chaosdragon001 wrote:

Yeah, you have to join the Official one. The other ones haven't updated, and I have had the same problems.
played it today and enjoyed it... to bad I had to play a server with a 200 ping. Question though, does anyone elses distance meter not work well? Mine will regester 445 or so, but when i move it closer it will go up. and some times it just seems to stick around 400.
Example:
for this shot my meter was telling me he was 400-600 m away, I forget which, but the actual kill is 1523m. I keep having to guess.

Mine seemed to do that too
Yeah the rangefinder 'sticks' to static objects in the way (trees, rocks, buildings, etc). There's no way I can change that, BF2 calculates the distance for me, I just display the value on the HUD. Attack markers set by the squad leader display the exact range up to ~1km, so use that if unsure. I'm trying to extend the draw distance on that marker, but no luck so far.
So that's why people put attack markers on positions. I thought it was just to be like a permanent "Enemy Sniper Spotted."
Nope, it's an old habit. It was the only way to get range before version 1.0 & the rangefinder.
aah the good old attack marker, that has saved my life sometimes lol
it's a real help knowing exactly how far away they are without having to fire off a couple of shots

hey ScoutSrike, i downloaded the mod off Modjive and when i go to play it, it goes straight into BF and it looks exactly the same as it usually is but when i click any of the headings in the main menu, it crashes!! what will i do!!??
have you tried un-install/re-install?
Sounds like the installation went wrong. The main menu looks just like regular BF2, just with a blank background movie. But if it can't find the mod directory it crashes when you click on 'Multiplayer'. You can manually install it by getting the zip from:G.Cronin wrote:

C:\Program Files\The Sir. Community\ModJive\dlCache\wookie_mod_v11a.zip
Extract the contents of that zip to:
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\
There should be a 'scout' folder in there now.
Since I'm not quite happy with the tiresome kit requesting that's going on, I've been working on a custom spawn screen for the variants. I've tested it on singleplayer, and it works like a charm. I'm going to test it with a few people so see how it holds up in multiplayer.
If this is stable, then no more kits spawning at your feet, you simply spawn with a custom kit on you. FYI, that is 9x10x3x2x3 = 1620 possible kit combinations right there.

nice one, i managed to get it working thanks +1 and i got some really good kills today. one of which was a distance of 1838!!
custom kits looks awesome, will you ever cease to amaze?
+1 good sir

Scout, you're a beast.
Once this comes about, everybody will want to hug you. Including me.
getting a feel for it now... got a 1863m kill today. Its a nice change.
Cool, I remember playing an early version of this ages ago. It was good back then, best of luck with it.
With some AI coding help from Kysterama (AIX mod), I've tested the system on SP with 64 bots spawning in at once at the start of the round. All 32 bots on my team received the correct kit as far as I can see. So this should function without problems in multiplayer.
scouty, i want ur babies
in the custom kit SS, where it says "other", what is binds, is that just both?
