DESCRIPTION
-----------
Back in the day, I wanted 3D iron sights for Raven shield. KungFU-CIA released a mod that enabled the 3D irons. However, some weapons were missing or misaligned. I created a mod a very long time ago to fix this and feel that i should share this given how much of a dissapointment R6 Siege has been. Configure one button to toggle iron sights and another to indicate that you have a mini-scope attached.
Version 1.0 - Initial Release
Version 2.0 - Added iron sights for scoped weapons (conviniently, all weapons attached with the mini-scope have a built-in iron sight). This update enables a fourth iron state view state. Rifles have a more closeup view of the iron sight, PDWs and shotguns have a more relaxed view. Some of the models are kinked and an accurate iron sight cannot be made using this method. So one of the views will use the front sight instead. Added autohotkey script to toggle iron sights and a batch file. Fixed and added several weapons.
HOW TO USE
----------
Press the mapped button to toggle iron sights
Press * (on numpad) if you have a mini-scope attached (this will tell the script to next time toggle the mini-scope irons)
Press middle mouse button (default) to use scope.
EASY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------
1. COPY THE CONTENTS OF THE 'SYSTEM' DIRECTORY TO YOUR \Red Storm Entertainment\RavenShield\system FOLDER. It won't overwrite anything so no need for backup here.
2. COPY USER.INI TO 'D:\Games\Red Storm Entertainment\RavenShield\Save\Profiles. Backup your original file first!!! (this will change your keys but you can tweak them back in game, do not change scope zoom as this is needed elsewhere)
3. With four different weapon view states it can get complicated hitting the right key. Typically i use a mouse button to toggle iron sights. In the 'autohotkey' folder you will find a .ahk file.
3a. First you need to install autohotkey from here: Ahkscript.org
3b.Copy the enclosed .ahk file (in this zip) anywhere you want. You now need to make changes to this ahk file.
4. once you done that you now need to tell the script about two buttons. One button to toggle iron sights and one button to tell the script you have the mini-scope attached.
I'm using XButton2 which is the buttons on the side of my mouse. To find the label for your button double click the icon in the toolbar when this script is running (run the script by double clicking the .ahk file). Press Ctrl-H. Press the desired button a few times and then F5. You should see your button label appear in the list.
Once you have have found your button labels you need to edit the .ahk file (right click 'edit') replace:
XButton2::
middle mouse button will be used to activate the scope. If you want to change this then edit:
MButton::
You can find more information about this here: Ahkscript.org
5. Run the ahk file and then run ravenshield. You can now quickly toggle the iron sight views. Alternatively you can run my batch file (need to edit paths yourself).
MANUAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------
1. COPY THE CONTENTS OF THE 'SYSTEM' DIRECTORY TO YOUR \Red Storm Entertainment\RavenShield\system FOLDER. It won't overwrite anything so no need for backup here.
2. EDIT YOUR USER.INI FILE IN D:\Games\Red Storm Entertainment\RavenShield\Save\Profiles. Backup your original file first!!!
Go to [Engine.Input] section in User.ini
Decide which four keys you want to map to three modes - lowered, mid, iron sights (without scope), iron sights (with mini-scope).
For lowered add "exec weapondown.txt" without codes after the equals sign.
For mid add "exec weaponupo.txt" without codes after the equals sign.
For iron sights (without scope) add "exec weaponup.txt" without codes after the equals sign.
iron sights (with mini-scope) add add "exec weaponupscoped.txt" without codes after the equals sign.
E.g.
9=exec weapondown.txt
0=exec weaponupo.txt
Equals=exec weaponup.txt
Minus=exec weaponupscoped.txt
Alternatively, I've included an already edited User.ini in Saves\Profiles fodler that you can just drop in but this will overrite your original key settings and you will have to change your player name at the top of the file.
Since you choose which keys operate the iron sights the default texture based iron sights in Ravenshield 2.0 will still work.

With four different weapon view states it can get complicated hitting the right key. Typically i use a mouse button to toggle iron sights. In the 'autohotkey' folder you will find an .ahk file.
1. First you need to install autohotkey from here: Ahkscript.org
2.Copy the enclosed .ahk file (in this zip) anywhere you want. You now need to make changes to this ahk file.
3 Firstly you need to tell the script file which keys you chose (in User.ini) for the different weapon states. Do this like i've done as follows where keys (9, 0, - and =) activate the different weapon views. E.g.
weap /> weaponmidkey 0
weap /> weap>
Remove any bindings for middle mouse button and Numpad *.
If you copied over my user.ini then you do not need to do this!
4. once you done that you now need to tell the script about two buttons. One button to toggle iron sights and one button to tell the script you have the mini-scope attached.
I'm using XButton2 which is the buttons on the side of my mouse. To find the label for your button double click the icon in the toolbar when this script is running (run the script by double clicking the .ahk file). Press Ctrl-H. Press the desired button a few times and then F5. You should see your button label appear in the list.
Once you have have found your button labels you need to replace:
XButton2::
To change the button for telling the script you have a mini-scope attached change (default is numpad *):
NumpadMult::
middle mouse button will be used to activate the scope. If you want to change this then edit:
MButton::
You can find more information about this here: Ahkscript.org
5. Run the ahk file and then run ravenshield. You can now quickly flick through the iron sight views.
OPTIONAL 2
==========
Also included a batch file (you need to edit the paths in here) to automatically run the script and ravenshield, and close the script program once you end ravensheild. Copy this anywhere and double click to run.
FUTURE
======
I may tweak some of the iron sights a bit more or find a new approach for changing iron sights.

I have ever heard but I have never found KUNGFU Mod, and thanks to your making effort finally I have seen the modding system. So simple, but so useful!
I've uploaded a massive update. Various fixes, enabled iron sight of the mini-scope when you have it attached! Added a autohotkey script to toggle iron sights. Also a batch file to run it all.
HOW TO USE
----------
Press the mapped button to toggle iron sights
Press * (on numpad) if you have a mini-scope attached (this will tell the script to toggle the mini-scope irons instead)
Press middle mouse button (default) to use scope.
This excites us...
...We'll be in touch!
*Very* cool idea to feature different aim types. I'd be all over this like syrup on pancakes...if only I could work out how to assign the hotkeys.
I feel like a dunce.
Well, I think I might have gotten it. So far it's looking very nice, although weapons with faked reflex sights like the P90 and the MTAR SMG, through no fault of the mod, are currently useless due to their opaque sight textures blocking visibility.
Currently, I'm having some trouble negotiating the four weapon model angles in a way that doesn't involve keyboard kung-fu, which I never was really good at. If the author would permit me, I'd like to make a humble suggestion. I know it's not as easy as flipping a switch, but it would be cool if the four states could be cycled using the mousewheel.
For example, we start from the default hip-level viewpoint. Scrolling up brings us to mid, and up again goes to irons, and the last up input takes us to the scope. Scrolling down does the same, but in reverse, all the way back to hip-level. The RMB could serve as a toggle that takes us from any zoom level to irons.
Just a thought. I know it's not easy - I could see that just from looking at the script provided as part of the download. I don't know how people can put stuff like this together, but I can tell you that I appreciate it. Thanks for the hard work, Z-Maniac.
To my great disappointment, I got this addon to work . . .
In its current state, it is completely unusable.
I will start with 'iron sights'. First, the vast majority of the guns' sights are not aligned, whatsoever. Second, when using iron sights, the sights are still swaying by the character's breathing and readjusting his grip. Third, when using iron sights, the game still believes you are firing from the hip, so accuracy is terrible.
Using this addon, you cannot use scopes because the camera merely moves so that the scope is blocking your view, and you cannot see through the scope.
Scope iron sights are even worse that the sights on the rail.
I appreciate your willingness to help make Raven Shield playable again, but this was utterly disappointing. Did you even try it before recommending it?
For anyone else who read this, if you really must play R6 with 3D sights, you're always welcome to try Ordnance Project, which is hardly playable, but it give you a sense of what Rainbow Six, and Raven Shield 2.0 could have been, had the devs put in a little more time.
I wanted to share some tricks with you guys that I learned in Unreal Gold that can help you with the weapon sights. If you want a very convenient keybinding to be able to hold down your ADS 3d iron sights on right mouse button, and have the zoom on middle mouse...
Then do this:
->Open game options, open controls, change zoom to middle mouse button, exit back to game
->Open ingame console (~) key
->enter the following command:
set input rightmouse | exec weaponup.txt|onrelease exec weapondown.txt
->press enter
And you now have the ability to hold to activate your new flashy weapon sights down. No more struggle with all of the toggle buttons :)
Bugs: You may somehow invert the ADS by pausing the game or accessing menus while holding ADS, this is fixed by holding ADS and pressing escape, release ADS, and return to game. Easy fix.
There is also the the 'toggle' command. Instead of using onrelease... I think you can toggle a command by doing something like: toggle mlook. The only problem with this is that you probably can only do it with variables and not the (exec) command.
I hope anyone was able to make use of this, let me know what you think OP. Oh, and one last thing... can you tell me what command the * numpad button is using so I can rebind it?
the onrelease exec doesnt seem to work for me,care to share any fix mate?
is this better than ravenshield 2.1 ironsights?
Does it work with other weapon mods?
