At the moment most of it is hard coded to only work with alpha project m24 but i already have a system for adding custom console/.con/.tweak commands which i will use to make an easy to implement and mod version.

It does involve a modified BF2.exe. I'm not sure if that will cause problems in PR

What is wrong with the shadow? I have never looked through a real scope so i don't know how it should look. It is made in a shader effect so it is easily modified.

Well a scope is usually a hollow cylinder object, meaning depending on the angle you simply see the inside of a scope, the sides. PR has actually modeled those insides(hence 3D scopes) which is more realistic and visually pleasing then a black shadow effect.

But yeah, as said, if we can do it so it's toggable in the launcher, then I'm all up for it. Just need to monitor and test performance. I think we don't mod our BF2.exe though, only the server executables? Not so sure. But given that EA stopped giving a damn, who cares IMO.

One question though, do you actually render to a texture? Like a on a texture map?? Or is it a overlay over the screen?

If the inside of a scope is actually modelled i could of course use that instead of the shadow. I used the shadow because vBF2 scopes don't have the inside modelled.

I do actually render to a texture ( more specifically IDirect3DSurface9 of a IDirect3DTexture9 )

We already do edit the pr.exe, e.g. to get the right squad numbers. So editing it more should be no problem. Also punkbuster should not be a problem either as i think the 100p servers cant use it anyway.
It all comes down to performance.

This is actually awesome! Well done

The frame rate goes insanely low when ADS in the video.

The scope shadow in this video actually looks pretty close to the one on my system.
