Binding a key to show a 2d image?

I want to add a simple zoom in feature, that causes an image to appear on the screen, that is basically a sniper scope.
I so far have this code:
bind "Mouse2" [fov 75; hudgun 0; sensitivity 2; onrelease[fov 120; hudgun 1; sensitivity 7]]

It works, but it doesn't do what I want it to do, which is basically open an image from a path, and close it.

The image is a 1024 x 1024 2d image of a sniper scope.

I just don't know how I can make Sauer directly open that image onto the screen, so I can use it for better aiming.

Not if it is ment to cover most of the screen... actually 1024 might be even a bit too small for that.

Yeah, use the 3d gui, but call

gui2d 1 when zooming in

and gui2d 0 when zooming back out

You don't need (nor want) such a large image. You'll want to make it smaller and scale it up.

Anyway, to display it, I'd suggest tweaking the source to display a different crosshair on command. It shouldn't be too hard if you can figure out the syntax of COMMAND().

If you do it, try making a patch, and it might be added to Sauerbraten as a whole.

That is a very, very good idea.

Problem with this is that the max crosshair size currently is 50, which does not cover the screen.

And if you want to have needle-thin crosshairs within the scope, you'll need a big sized image, otherwise it will look blurry.

.... and using the same image for all resolutions wouldn't give the best results, either ^_^

For some reason the resend cookie thing doesn't work on my real email, so I used a random one and a different name...
Anyway, my problem isn't the image or crosshair size, I can do that. Even if I have to go through trial and error, it is not something I will have to go back here about.
#9, I will only make it for 1 resolution, since it is personal.

I just want to know the syntax for showing an image in a bind, that is all.

Yeah, the resend cookie thing isn't working at all. I don't feel like numbering my post after my name. What is up with this?

AssaultCube has this.

It really doesn't fit in with sauer

(simplicity, gameplay, etc)

But, AC has one sized image.


It works from 640x400 -> 1280x800 although, with my widescreen, the scope does look a bit squashed.

Script to display an image on screen: there is no such thing in Sauerbraten or AC or Cube.

I don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t know the syntax to show an image even in a script still.

Can anyone at least tell me that?

You can not show an image using script.

not quite true ... you can -
inside gui-menus - use guiimage for it.
There's also possibilities that have opened up since the fonts went cfg-style ... but I bet this isn't what is required.
Oh ... the sniper-zoom ... heh, no - no way, jose - just can't do that with scripting. You'll need to learn C/C++ and start modding your own game for it.

So say you made a function in the code that would allow the script to call up an image...

This has since changed in CVS. Scripts will be able to change crosshairs in the next release.

Oh dude script-based crosshairs? I love you guys, I was just talking about this... I wouldn't have happened to have influenced the idea eh? ;p

Is the max-crosshair-width of 50 also gone in CVS? That'd help a lot.

And in other news, you can lift the restriction on crosshairsize by changing line 794 in src/engine/rendergl.cpp. Just change the current max, 50, into something like 1000 and recompile.

I don't know if it'll be helpful or not, but with the default crosshair, a crosshairsize value of 900 is about right to fill the width of the screen. On a resolution of 1280x1024, anyway. Dunno if anything else will affect it.
