CS Variable-Zoom Scopes
 

CS Zoomscopes fo Counter-Strike 1.6
(updated 6-3-08)

This plugin will allow CS 2-stage weapon scopes to employ a variable zoom.

To use the zoom scope, you must bind one key to +zoomin, and another key to +zoomout. To make it easier, I built in a routine so that players can simply enter a command in-console and the plugin will bind keys for the player. There is also a display while scoped to inform the player of the approximate zoom magnification and the available zoom commands.

The scope can be zoomed to different values in both of the 2 scope modes, and will remain at the last used setting, unless you change to a non-scoped primary weapon of another type.

There are 2 levels of zoomable scopes built in. The standard level will zoom from the weapon's natural limitations. The advanced type will zoom all scopes out a little further and allow non-AWP weapons to zoom in to the AWP's level.

I only had the ability to test this plugin on a single-player server and I don't really play CS anymore, but it all ran fine under the situations I tested. But I'm sure there's a scenerio I was unable to test. So if you find a glitch, let me know.

Commands:
+zoomin - Causes the scope to zoom in
+zoomout - Causes the scope to zoom out
zoombindpg - Binds the keys PageUp to +zoomin and PageDown key to +zoomout
zoombindmw - Binds the mousewheel to zoom in and out

CVars:
zoomscopes_enable <0|1> Disables|Enables the plugin (default 1)
zoomscopes_info_enable <0|1> Disables|Enables the zoom display (default 1)
zoomscopes_advanced_enable <0|1> Disables|Enables the advanced scope levels (default 1)

Note:
There are 2 versions offered...
V1.2 (cs_zoomscopes.sma) is for those who use Amxmodx prior to v1.8.
V1.2H (cs_zoomscopes_H.sma) utilizes features in the Hamsandwich module.

Interesting. Why don't you merge the DOD and CS versions into one? Then check for the mod on the server and do the appropriate actions.

Re: CS variable zoom scopes
 

I really only play DOD. So after I wrote the DOD one, I thought I'd try it out on CS just for kicks to see if it would work. But after changing this and that, I soon discovered that I altered nearly every routine to get it to work. So I just figured it'd be more clear and efficient as a separate plugin.

Oh, and there's also this :/

Re: CS variable zoom scopes
 

Those are fixed zooms. Not the same. This plugin lets you have variable magnification zooms. Ones where you can increment/decrement the zoom values while you're scoped.

Ah, missed that part

Re: CS variable zoom scopes
 

i like it gj

Re: CS variable zoom scopes
 

maybe an idea for you
how clooser you zoom in how more the weapon will shake

Re: CS variable zoom scopes
 

I found this lags me a lot when I'm zoomed. My normal ping is 15ish (I'm local to the server), but it jumps to over 200 when I'm zoomed.

Re: CS variable zoom scopes
 

I get lag on several plugins when running locally. But the lag goes away when running on a real server. Don't know why.

Anyway, try setting the zoomscopes_info_enable cvar to 0 and see if that helps.
