Title: Sniper mode during battlescape
Post by: bladum on January 02, 2015, 08:26:07 pm

Hi,

Devs, Please consider adding "sniper mode" which is showing screen made from F10 in popup during battlescape. This image is available in documents folder anyway ... so it could be used in game too just to speed up its usage.

unless you want a two second pause every time you take a step, it's not really possible, it takes a lot of cpu cycles to render those.

1. This image is way out of ingame palette, thus it's technically impossible unless game be switched to 32bit screen mode.
2. Rendering of this screen never meant to be used ingame. It's for debugging purpose and ugly and slow.
3. There is no way I will support this idea.

Though it is somehow possible for precise "aim" mode. But frankly I wouldn't appreciate anyone looking into ugly boxed-cylindred sight. So no for this either. If you want this walking with from eyes sight - play xcom2012.
