NVTS - New Vegas True Scopes

What is True Scopes?

True Scopes is a modern (As of 2023) mod utilizing the latest and greatest tools the NV modding community has to offer in order to create a non-simple solution to a simple problem: Looking through a scope directly, without the big screen-blocking border.

Now, some people aren't interested in that, think it distracts from the scope or whatever, and that's fine. That's why this is a mod, and not a forced base game change.

With this mod, you can see a magnified view of what you're looking at. Truly magnified, no distortion trickery or zooming of the camera, just a scope working how a scope generally should work.

Before anyone asks about compatibility, this modifies no meshes, no textures, and comes with a full easy-to-use editor mode allowing new compatibility to be added super easily by anyone with a keyboard, mouse, and a couple of minutes.

Editing SystemThe same thing I used to complete and fine-tune the scopes, after I implemented it.

To access, enable Debug Mode in the INI, then type into the console: set NVTSEditorMode to 1

Then, when you have a weapon equipped and unholstered, are in first-person, and aren't actively aiming it, press the set key (By default, ;). The interface will pop up, and should be rather self-explanatory. The buttons along the top not only have snazzy icons (For the most part), but will give a description of their use when hovering over them.

You can still aim down the weapon in this mode, to get a better look at how the sights are aligned.

Click the arrows next to every value, and experiment to see how it works.

The rotation settings currently do nothing, as they were found to be unnecessary in every case I tested. If it becomes necessary for some reason, let me know and I'll see about making them do something.

Hold CTRL, Shift, Alt, or some combination of the three to add modifiers to the increments, allowing much quicker control vs having to type in your new value every time.

When you're done, make sure to press 'Save', otherwise your changes will be erased. At least it's easy to recreate, especially once you know roughly what you want.

Under 'config/True Scopes/CustomConfigs', you'll find your 'CustomConfig' file, with the addition of whatever the source mod is on the end. This is what gets written to whenever you 'save' in Editor Mode. You can safely rename these files to whatever you want, and I recommend you name them something unique if you intend to share them on Nexus or something.

The files are also intentionally missing from the download, so that they doesn't get overwritten from any updates to the mod.

Config files take priority from z-a, similar to the base game's load order system. Whatever loads at t
