Immersive Viewmodels

Viewmodel Tweaks & Ironsights

A Chairloader mod that adds aim-down-sights to Prey (2017) and lets you reposition, rotate and re-FOV the first-person weapon - all live, from an in-game window.

Features

• []Ironsights. Hold (or toggle) the aim key and the weapon comes up to the sights, exactly aligned with the crosshair, with a camera zoom, its own weapon FOV and a configurable look-sensitivity while aiming. Tuned poses for every stock weapon are built in; each one can be adjusted with sliders or nudge keys.[/]

  []Weapon feel. Head-bob coupling (still sights or a little lag), the game's procedural recoil and the fire animation's own kick while aiming (both per weapon), a per-shot coupling boost, and bullet-spread multipliers for aiming vs hip fire on the pistol and shotgun (the only weapons with spread).[/]

  []Feel. A sprint pose (the weapon drops and tilts while you run, with extra sway; optionally no aiming while sprinting; off in zero-G unless you want the thruster boost to count), sway and settle while aiming (a slow figure-eight that is large when the sights come up, after sprinting or while moving, and calms down as you hold still; a hold-breath key), and GoldenEye-style view drag (the weapon follows your turns on a spring, leading or lagging).[/]

  []Viewmodel. Global standing and crouch offsets, per-weapon hip offsets, weapon FOV (the stock 55 is fixed in vanilla), world FOV, sprint look-sensitivity.[/]

  []Hip fire helpers. Weapon convergence (the barrel points at what the crosshair is over), wall pull-back (the weapon slides towards you near walls, more for longer weapons), no aiming while the muzzle would be in a wall, while reloading or while switching weapons; the offsets ease out during reloads so the support hand meets the shells.[/]

  []Reticle. Centred / custom position, weapon reticle / dot / hidden, hide while aiming. A hidden reticle still comes back as the cursor while you use an in-world screen.[/]

  Nothing is stored in save games; uninstalling leaves your saves untouched.

  Requirements

  • []Prey (2017) on PC with Chairloader 1. 3.x or newer installed and the game patched by ChairManager (the mod hooks the game build Chairloader supports; on another build it disables itself with a warning).[/]

    Installation

    • []In ChairManager: Install Mod and pick Vee. ViewmodelTweaks-<version>.zip (or unzip it so that Prey/Mods/Vee. ViewmodelTweaks/ModInfo.xml exists).[/]

      []Enable Viewmodel Tweaks & Ironsights in the mod list and Deploy.[/]

      []In the game, go to Options -> Controls and move Select equipped power off the right mouse button (the mod uses RMB to aim and blocks the game's action on it while enabled). Or pick another aim key in the mod's Quick Settings.[/]

      Updating: install the new zip the same way. Your settings live in Prey/Mods/config/ and are kept.

      Usage

      Press F1 in game for the Chairloader GUI; the Viewmodel Tweaks window opens (toggle it from the Viewmodel Tweaks menu in the top bar). While the window is open the cursor is shown and the camera is frozen so you can drag sliders with the game running; press F1 again to play.

      • []Quick Settings - the essentials: offsets on/off, weapon FOV, world FOV, sprint sensitivity, aiming (key, hold/toggle, ironsights FOV, camera zoom, sensitivity), convergence, wall pull-back, reticle.[/]

        []Global - standing / crouch offsets for all weapons, convergence and wall pull-back tuning.[/]

        []Weapon - the equipped weapon: hip offset, aim pose, allow aiming, wall pull-back distance, firing feel, bullet spread. Built-in defaults exist for every stock weapon; "Reset to built-in" gets them back.[/]

        []Feel - sprint pose, sway & settle while aiming (with the hold-breath key), view drag.[/]

        []Aim - key binding, transition time, zoom, ironsight motion (head-bob coupling, recoil, sway), sensitivity.[/]

        []FOV, Nudge keys, Options.[/]

        Tuning a weapon's aim pose

        []Equip the weapon, open the window, tick Toggle instead of hold in Aim, aim (RMB), then open Weapon.[/]

        [*]Forward moves the weapon towards/away from you, Up / Down raises the sights onto the crosshair; Right / Left should stay 0 for a ce
