📋 About This Mod

DESCRIPTION

This mod adds a targeting system reminiscent to the first Red Dead Redemption's Dead Eye system using Yvileapsis' Just Bullet Time

mP8ln8cJMmk

FEATURES

Adds both manual and automatic targeting system from RDR

Holds down-sights for small turning angles

Aware of kNVSE burst firing

Allows changing multiple setting in the configuration INI file:

->>Modify the activation key for targeting (default "Q", if same as VATS key, will disable VATS while in bullet time)

->>Allows to change the icon type of the marker to the base game crosshair, to a cross similar to RDR2's, to a square, or to a scratch similar to RDR's

->>Change the indicator size scale and alpha

->>Change the icon color. Accepts Systemcolor index or hex color code (thanks to Stentorious)

->>Modify the attack speed multiplier while firing in Dead Eye

->>Modify the gun spread multiplier while firing in Dead Eye

->>Modify the Dead Eye range in meters

->>Modify the time it takes for the Dead Eye to reach the next target

->>Modify the time the players lingers after firing

->>Toggle optional targeting system similar to the first level of Dead Eye (auto-targeting)

->>Adds a minimum required Guns skill to toggle manual targeting

USAGE
To activate, first activate JBT (the mod will only work if JBT is in toggle mode). If in auto mode the markers will appear as you hover over an NPC, if in manual mode you mark with the activation key. Be mindful as the targeting wont distinguish between friend or foe.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Just Bullet Time as a dependency, so you need to install that first
🎯 Is This For You?
