After upgrading to 1.6, I can't get the gun sights that I use to come on. Only get the default sights for each weapon. Ballistic started out as a great mod, but, each release has become more problematic. |

Can you explain a bit better? What sights? You mean the crosshairs aren´t like they used to be? |

Good guess. Crosshairs, sights, same thing. I like to use one for all weapons. Now all I can get is those messed up ones that are different for each weapon. i can still use the ones I want in normal UT 04, but if Ballistic is involved. I can't. BW 1.5 had some issues, but nothing like the storm of bugs that came with 1.6. |

Are you sure you configure the crosshair correctly? Because my crosshair is a tiny white dot, and it is that way for every weapon in BW. |

Yes I'm sure. I've done it before, with all of the UT games. It still works without the BW mod. Bugs abound with 1.6 I guess. Everyone gets a different one or more than one. Better to go back to 1.5 with smaller problems. |

This is indeed strange, but this can´t be a problem with 1.6 because it seems to work for everyone else. (I´m the only confirmation tho), maybe you should keep trying to configure the crosshairs. I remember flagging an option in the BW gametypes that uses 1.5 crosshairs if I remember correctly. |

for me, every BW weapon has its own cross hair. each cross hair shows the style of recoil for the gun (circle for smg, circle for shotty, rectangle shape for mounted MG, ect.). how do you only have a white dot? |

Have you tried the 'Use Old Crosshairs' option??? It disables BW crosshairs and lets you use the standard UT2004 ones... |

I used that option because I liked the white dot I had had for a while. |

I finaly found that. I went back to 1.5 anyway. The wild swinging the weapons had and the "drunk walk" were too much. I see you have a fix for the walk thing. Im UT 04 you can uncheck 'weapon bob". You should consider that option. That , and the fact that 1.6 didn't fix the one bug that bothered me in 1.5. Shots from Railgun or Sniper Rifle, when zoomed ,sometimes go way high. It seems to happen more when you're shooting from a high place. Still there in 1.6 Weapon switching seemed kind of random instead of following my priorities. I'll watch for 1.7 but stay with 1.5 for now. |

You use weapon switching? I gave up on that and started to use the number buttons, much quicker, but it takes time to learn them. Is the railgun bug that spams the log file still in 1.6? You describe like there is a brand new RG bug. |

I thought my decription was more clear. The Railgun and Sniper Rifle bugs have been the same in both versions. Still not fixed. When zoomed shots will go off on a high trajectory, about 45 degrees. It defeats the purpose of the scope. I have keys mapped for weapons too. I also use the "switch on pick-up" option. 1.6 doesn't always go to the best weapon as I have them set. Even if I hit my key for best weapon, it may or may not switch to my highest priority weapon. Post edited by: Grasshopper, at: 2006/03/19 17:27 |

Strange, whenever I use the Sniper or the Railgun I hit the spot the crosshair was on, all the time. Are you perhaps running while using the scope and shooting? But about the weapon priorities, sounds like a bug. You could tell RS about it in the support thread that was created to give them bugfix ideas for 1.7.

Scope bug is while standing still. reported to Rune Storm by me and others I play with. Weapons switch bugs too. I'm sure they heard about a lot of things. Hard to fix them all and add new stuff too , I'm sure. |

OMG! I've heard lots about that high rail beam, but I just can't get it to happen in tests!!! Will take another look again at the weapon switching code... |

Will take another look again at the weapon switching code... Try shooting with the scope zoomed from a high vantage point. It's not just the Railgun. The same thing happens with the Sniper Rifle. If I had to guess, I'd say it has to do with terrain. I'm a truck mechanic, not a coder. Maybe it has to do with custom maps. i never paid attention to if it happens with original game maps or downloaded maps from other sources. I know I have seen it in Phobos2, Alleria, Blue Fjord and others. Some of the ones in CBP2. |

I don´t think that matters because all maps use the same file format, the UT2. |

Another player and I were talking about this. Is there a chance that the sights (crosshairs) that we uase as opposed to the ones that are default with the mod make this happen? Haven't tested the idea. It was just a thought. |

After experimenting in single player, I think using sights other than the ones in Ballistic cause the "highshot" effect when zoomed with Railgun or Sniper Rifle. I don't seem to be able to get it with the Ballistic sights. Maybe this will help with the fix. |

Does this high rail problem only happen in MP? Is it on the client or server? |

I don't play single player much. I did try setting up a listen server using Ballistic sights and didn't get the high shot when zoomed with the Railgun or Sniper Rifle. When I run a dedicated server and use the UT'04 sights, everyone playing gets the high shot effect. I run a dedicated server and join as a second session of UT'04. I guess that means it's client. |

Yep, looks like a client only problem! Thanks, that helps a lot!B) |
