GMJ Sight Adjustment for ArmA2

Recommended Posts

UPDATED TO VERSION 1.1 - 31.7.2009

Hello,

I decided to convert this excellent addon to ArmA2...

First, the permission part: the author of the original addon has left the community, but not before leaving this message

Hi all,

in case you were wondering why there haven't been any updates anymore: I fried my graphics card - a 8800 GTS sad_o.gif - and used the current situation of not having a decent graphics card to quit gaming altogether. biggrin_o.gif

To all modders, you may use this code in any way you want - go crazy tounge2.gif

Also, many thanks to Solus for the extended init handler!

greets, Oliver.

So... with this part behind us we can continue to the actual addon.

All the info and explanations can be found in the original thread.

Some credits:

gmJamez - for making this amazing addon and giving permission to continue work on it.

Solus - for making the SightAdjustment_autoInit addon to support Extended Event Handlers.

sholio - for helping with the displayAddEventHandler.

The.Yield and DJH for the range cards.

All i did was fixing small scripting errors and merging Solus work with the original addon to support Extended Event Handlers. Also signed the file so it can be used on servers that require signature files.

And finally the addon: (Updated to version 1.1 - 31.7.2009)

The archive is fine for me but I'm intrigued to learn what it actually does. Your post doesn't explain it at all and the readme is just credits.

Maybe a link to the A1 release thread?

noamles - have you been able to verify the ballistics in ArmA 2 are the same as the GMJ Sight Adjustment mod?

I remember GMJ's mod was meant to work with NWD's Ballistic Mod for Armed Assault.

Great job porting this, it was one of the essential mods in ArmA.

I think he manually wrote and tested the range cards himself so it doesn't matter if they are the same does it? You have a distance, you dial the scope, you hit the target?

yay \o/

but should use displayADDeventhandler instead of set, which overwrites any previous key assignments, and put remove and add in the loop so it works over savegames

or wait for CBA's keyhandler framework which would solve this more elegantly

good to see this in ArmA2.

One question though: What do I need to change if I really don't want to use the GMJ_SightAdjustment modfolder? Let's say I'd rather like the mod in something like @General, what do I need to change in the config? I knew I did this with the ArmA1 version and that worked good, but I can't somewhat find the thing that needs to be changed.

and yeah, I know that changing the .pbo will disable the signatures..

Cole: edit scripts\SightAdjustmentConfig.h in the pbo

Hunter: somewhat already in game: just hit the "Commanding mode" key (SPACE ?) - it will give you the range to what you're pointing at

Yes but it is nice having it on the laser designator. There is already an overlay for the binos that gives heading (very nice BTW!) so a little ranging would go down a treat on the LD !

Could someone be so kind as to supply range cards for those of us who don't know how to make them ourselves? Thanks!

It seems like I have to change the MOA to 20 or so to hit a target with the M24 at 750 meters so I'm a little confused...

SnakeGRNET, the addon comes with a range card for the m24/m40. what you need to do is this:

1. find the range to your target (by pressing space/ using the map/ using MIL Dot sight).

2. Press M to go to the map screen and take a look at the range card.

3. now just find the right adjustment for that range and set your rifle scope to that.

4. take the shoot and watch your target go down :).

DMR Range Card

200m = -3

250m = -1

300m = 0

350m = 1

400m = 3

450m = 5

500m = 7

550m = 9

600m = 11

650m = 13

700m = 15

750m = 18.5

800m = 20.5

850m = 24

900m = 27.5

950m = 30.5

1000m = 35

Took a while, should be accurate. Tested against human targets using space bar for range - so should work perfectly.

The range card appears so small, I can't read it. Any fix? I play at 1680x1050.
