Battlefront Repository Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 This mod flips the weapons silhouettes to a right facing orientation to better use the negative space to accommodate the words so they do not cover the weapon graphic. Pic shown is with Vin’s nimated text mod so hence the stars instead of the word Ldr ect..Enjoy,VinTo use just put the folder in the Z folder.

Erwin Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That's quite brilliant. (Altho' I prefer "the other guy's" silhouettes.) I wonder if the reversal treatment would benefit those graphics since I like the version with caliber as well as range(s). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Um... so would reversal work with the range/cal version? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Thanks, but like I said I first saw the flipped weapons in Juju’s mod. Being that I prefer the stock weapon silhouettes to Juju’s detailed ones I made this. If you prefer detailed then I recommend using Juju’s. Either way the right facing orientation makes better use of the negative space to accommodate the type so it does not cover the graphic. I believe BF should adopt this orientation as standard since it work out better with the type. This is a very easy change to make. Erwin, I do no think it would work with Marco’s range/caliber weapon silhouettes as is. Marco’s would have to be flipped, and the range/caliber type would have to be moved. I recommend doing a print out to have caliber/range info available, and use Juju’s or mine for a less clutter looking GUI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I like Juju's weapons, but I really like having the info right there in the UI rather than on (yet another) piece of paper. I already have a fairly large file filled with the various CM data that is available now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have a fairly large file filled with the various CM data that is available now. Try doing what real troops do in reality, which is memorize the data. My guess is you already know more than you think. For example if asked you what kind of ammo a Thompson fires, and Mp40 fires I’ll bet you could answer. When I was in basic training the Drill Sgt’s would wake you up in the middle of the night to ask what is your 2nd general order. Immerse yourself in the realism. Drop for push ups if you get my Thompson, and MP40 question wrong to make it even more real. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I like things easy. If I wanted to be closer to RL I would be playing CM inside the proverbial steel drum while mates banged on the outside with baseball bats and poured freezing cat urine all over me. As I am certain all you "reality" types play. And hats off to you... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
