📋 About This Mod

Zooming Scoped Weapons New Vegas version as ported by jnf is avaiable here: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37060 This mod will let you zoom in and out with the mouse, see video and images for examples. To watch the video in HD go here, otherwise, check the Video tab. It should work with all guns that have a scope, even new ones that have been added by other mods. This mod will require FOSE! Since version 1. 30 you can alter the hotkeys for zooming, useful for button mapping, and if you have remapped your keys from within Fallout 3. Simply extract it to the data folder, enable it with FOMM and start sniping at will!

Incompatibility =============== This mod do not have conflicts with other mods, and feedbacks and tests have confirmed that this mod works with custom made weapons. Notes =============== As this mod lets you zoom along the weapons axis, the mismatch between the crosshair and the weapon will seem to be bigger. You should use a autoaim tweaker mod to lessen the effect. Credits ======= Many thanks to the FOSE team for implementing the vital functions for the Geck and the modding community! Thanks to ironhandjustice for the Spanish translation Licensing/Legal =============== You can do whatever you want with this mod but all I ask in return is that you give me credit if you distribute any part of this mod. I would also like to know what mods are including my work.
