Sniper Scope Overlay Overhaul

UPDATE

See Changelog for update details

SNIPE YOUR ENEMIES AND KEEP YOUR PERIPHERAL VISION

INSTALLATION AND COMPATIBILITY:

Choose the newest main file. It is always safe to update or uninstall this mod.  Install using your favorite mod organizer anywhere because load order shouldn't matter, or place the ScopeMenu.swf into steam\steamapps\common\fallout4\Data\interface.

Not compatible with anything that edits ScopeMenu.swf in the interface directory (so other mods of this type), but otherwise compatible with almost every weapon mod as long as it uses vanilla scopes. Compatible with IMOD blur mods, such as those linked at the bottom of the page.

I did the best I could given my current skills, but am always looking for criticism!

I really can't believe no one else bothered with improving this mod in 8 years. It wasn't crazy hard to learn, although I won't say it was easy at first dealing with the more annoying aspects of paths.

It is very annoying to get vector paths to play right with details, especially when I originally tried to port raster to path from a png I made ( I gave up on that and manually created the frame instead, but at the cost of mesh details). I then tried to use a png straight into the swf, but sadly Fallout 4 cannot render rasterized images with their native player (Feb 22,2026 - Or maybe it can! Investigating new finding for future update), and you will get a green square when you scope in.

I see why the original mod author didn't bother with trying to add more details, because you have to individually pen the paths in, and make sure that the vectors have enough detail not to break when you put them into th
