Hope most of you who have downloaded have enjoyed the mod,

I'm no longer playing CoC so there'll be no further updates or support I'm afraid. Any known bugs have solutions in the comments above and for those of you who continue to have troubles my apologies.

Thanks, Tom

I think the 16:10 version should work well with 4:3 monitors, backup you game data and give it a try.

You can't have AO and STCoP installed on the same game as far as I'm aware? You need to pick one or the other.

But even if you could merge the two together no this mod woukdnt work with it. Just one or the other.

3.0 on r2_sun_lumscale! Your days must be blinding, mine is only 0.6.

I found this guide very useful for in game lighting settings:

As noted above sweetfx is also useful but only make small tweaks

Hi, others have had this issues as well, have you tried the solutions in the comments above?

No I'm afraid not, I don't have much spare time at the moment.

I believe this is already done for CoM though, check out diekrupps's post on the first page. One of the downloads is for Morka's STCoP Call of Misery scopes - it's worth giving them a try. It's just textures but from a quick look it looks like they'll work with the base STCoP cfg files.

1.04 Changelog

1.04

Minor tweaks to various textures.
Added OWR version based on the CoP OWRv3 mod.

Thanks to nashathedog for the help :)

AO users please use the below tweak to get a better scope for the SVU-A (the 1p29 scope wasn't right at all!)

Go to:

gamedata>configs>weapons

open the w_svu.ltx file

scroll to the bottom part of the file and find the section under:

[wpn_svu_nimble]:wpn_svu

Then change:

scope_texture = wpn_crosshair_1p29

to:

scope_texture = wpn_crosshair

Many thanks, I'll take a look. Would be great to make different scope options available.

Managed to get the original OWR v3 open scopes working with help from nashathedog above, no conflicting textures and looks great, Will upload tomorrow.

Good luck, it's worth pointing out the special weapon config lines are in the same .Ltx file as the standard version of the weapon.

To get the Streloks Sig texture right pick your favourite from the whole pack and replace the 'wpn_crosshair_zf3' texture.

But unfortunately i'm going to have to remove the OWR scopes option.

Basically too many of the weapons (with hard fixed scopes) use the same scope textures. These weapons have totally different external scope models and it's very difficult to get them to match what the texture looks like.

To do it you'd have to insert correct open scope textures, create lines in the xml config files and then adjust the actual weapon config file to tell them what scope to use.

I just don't have the time to do this, sorry :/

Great glad you got it working, 1.01 was only compatible with STCoP so that would've caused issues with AO.

Hi, thanks for this, i didn't know the special weapons had different textures, should be an easy fix i'll look at it later. Check the weapon config file to see what scope the weapon uses.

gamedata>configs>weapons - will be the scope_texture line

The OWR files were quite confusing - there's no Fn2000 texture but there is a F2000 texture which the Aug uses (does the Fn2000 weapon even exist in OWR?)

I'll take a closer look at the OWR version later, thanks!

1.02 now featuring AO and OWR versions,

I don't use these mods so please highlight any issues!

Thanks

It should work in 4:3, the game displays 4:3 textures as a start and then adds bars to each side for widescreen formats.

Give it a go and report back, try the 16:10 first, i'll add a note to the readme if it works.

Whoops not sure how i missed that, yes the 1P29 should have it's own scope. Will fix with the next update, thanks :)

To replace any of the textures with tsěsarĭ's scopes simply pop the ones you want in to you gamedata>textures>wpn folder and overwrite (remember to backup!)

In fact if you prefer textures from other open scope mods you can do the same. The xml config files in my addon are set up to support this. You just need to make sure the texture files (.dds files) you are using are 1024x1024 in size.

Handy program to view texture files - Nvidia's Windows Texture Viewer. It gives you the size of the texture on the bottom of the window.

Nvidia.co.uk

Also, Gnomus Scopes does work with vanilla Coc :)

I would not use the Gnomus scopes you linked to though, the author has adjusted the size of the textures, and seems to have made other changes too. Use this one:

Privat.bahnhof.se

I've just tested it and it works fine.

I guess the reason noones looked at it before is that 99% of people playing CoC are using weapon mods and it certainly won't work with them (vanilla has 7 scopes STCoP has 15 for example)

Cheers

Yep just overwrite the old one, follow the readme instructions.

No new game needed :)

I just tried this and the game crashed when loading a save.
It's because the xml files aren't matching.

Sounds like an install problem, as well as the "scopes_16" xml file the game needs the "ui_ingame" xml file (in the textures_descr folder)

Odd, there's no reason i know of for any freezing.

I run it on an old Q6600 based system with only 4GB ram and it works fine.

perhaps put your old gamedata back and try reinstalling.

Ahh thats who morka is - it was a name of a file in the database Dodge_this posted. I couldn't find any details.

Full credit to morka - these are lovely scope textures.

I've updated the notes and readme to reflect this.

Thanks

I don't have AO installed but will look at doing a version over the next few days.

In theory this STCoP version should work with vanilla, AO and OWR - i'm sure the file structure will be the same in all the mods. The problem will be some of the scope textures may not match, but that would only be a small tweak.

No problem, thanks for putting up the original version, reminded me how awesome open scopes are!
