bravo 6 0 Posted May 22, 2005 Hello all, i couldnt find any topic on this subject so i created new room (sorry) ZOOM in/out with BINOCULARS In real life we can zoom in and out with binoculars What if its possible in OFP2? well.. i know its not very important but could make it more realistic. the normal distance implanted but possible to zoom in and out alittle (like the m21 in OFP) cheers, Keep up the good work!

gandalf the white 0 Posted May 22, 2005 I have never seen a binocular that could adapt it's zoom? link? I think that making a zoomable binoc is a simple "change the config" request... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meio_maluco 1 Posted May 22, 2005 well im shure that in 2010 military binoculars will use that tecnology ;) and such binoculars exist already ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oeil2Lynx 0 Posted May 22, 2005 u have zoom in/out with wgl 4.12 's binoc dunno 'bout the 5.0beta.. But it's just a small change in config.cpp anyway i dont think it's huge usefull thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meio_maluco 1 Posted May 22, 2005 yea but maybe some special forces in 2010 use some digital binoculars: Zoom controled by motor (lens motor movemnt) Coordinates Thermal / Night ScreenShot ;) that would be realistic in case of special forces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fork122 0 Posted June 3, 2005 Maybe it'd be realistic to have to focus the binocular? The pair of binoculars I own can't zoom in and out, but it has a little dial to focus the lens. Those are just 50 dollar civilian binoculars, I don't know if Military style binoculars are like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meio_maluco 1 Posted June 7, 2005 but if nowadays a soldier already has its own pda, in 2010 im shure it would be realistic to at least squad leaders have their own zoom binnoculars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobrainer 0 Posted October 10, 2005 This would be really simple with ECP 1.085 installed, just a minor editing in @ECP\Bin\Config.cpp. Look for:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> class Binocular : Default { ...... opticsZoomMin=0.085000; opticsZoomMax=0.085000; ....... };Don't mind the "....", the text here should not be changed. Where you would change opticsZoomMin=0.085000 to opticsZoomMin=0.015000 wich is the same as for WGL 4.12. They say its 10x zoom. How they callculated that I don't know... Then it would be:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> class Binocular : Default { ...... opticsZoomMin=0.015000; opticsZoomMax=0.085000; ....... }; Just love this binocular... Since ECP already got an config.cpp this is so easy to fix. To fix this without ECP I don't know without having your own config.cpp/config.bin. Problem then would be cheating. Only YOU would know what you have changed in config.bin/config.cpp, so all other players could think that you where cheating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebns72 0 Posted October 10, 2005 If it did exist in reality, what would be the point of zooming in an out? There is no need to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Espectro (DayZ) 0 Posted October 11, 2005 If it did exist in reality, what would be the point of zooming in an out? There is no need to do so. ehhh... Zoom in to see details or just scan for enemys... Zoom a bit out to get an overview of all the enemies/targets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jinef 2 Posted October 11, 2005 How you can have such intricate discussion about such a feature... They do have them in real life. It is useful. Quote[/b] ]Zoom controled by motor (lens motor movemnt) Coordinates Thermal / Night ScreenShot that would be realistic in case of special forces If special forces were really really special, they wouldn't even need weapons as there would be no war. As it is they are crap because there is still the need for war. How's that for realistic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
