📋 About This Mod
Quite a number I guess. Perhaps I would have released them sooner... However, the vanilla way of setting up overlays and binding them to weapons is not really a streamlined process. With B42 Optics having overlay switching implemented to do at the press of a button, I felt that I could finally share this with everyone here.
Several overlays were made entirely by me,
Several were sourced and edited from Google images,
Some are tweaked existing vanilla reticles for better visibility or usability,
Some others I've had for so long that I don't even remember how they came to be.
Three were made by Ravuth (I just de-cluttered them a little and made one extra from his design),
And Eotech (Acog 6) was made by tmann767.
(Thank you both for giving me the go-ahead to include them!)
All of them are centered and also checked for any kind of visual fluffs that would look visually unappealing during in-game nights. Majority of them aren't spiffy clean like the reticles of the recent Clean Vanilla Scope Overlays mod by dandadern - while a few are meant to be rugged, the real reason is that my eyes are sick of that damn checkered background of the editing programs for these. If that poses an issue for anybody, then I likely won't help you. I like them as they are right now, so I hope you understand. Though I must say, it's not hard to do or learn basic editing of such relatively simple images via free programs like Paint.net or GIMP.
