From the Sights Sticky thread:
I've thought of literally drawing a dot with some CD-Pen but having to look at it ALL THE TIME would probably get annoying after a while.
On a related note, it looks like PunkBuster has started kicking people for having a modified Usersettings.con file. God save us all...........
Because of this, wouldn't it be easier to write another .ahk that draws a 2x2 (So a total of 4 pixels) square in the center of your screen or is that impossible?Jemme101 wrote:
Most Snipers in this game probably know that the center of screen doesnt match the center of the reticle of your scope. The center of the screen is what the game-engine uses for reference in determining if you are on target.
However the information on the discrepancy between center of screen and reticle was only taken from testing in a 1024 x 768 format. Recent testing done by ScoutStrike showed an entirely different story for 1280 x 1024. Check the pictures below for the differences ...

The reason for choosing a square to depict the center of the screen is the following;
The coordinate system runs from x = 0-1023 and y = 0-767 (which gives 1024x768 pixels)
The center is actually located at x = 1023/2 = 511.5 and y = 767/2 = 383.5, but since there is no pixel at that exact coordinate, the best approximation would be to draw a square around x = 511-512 and y = 383-384. The hit point is the middle of the square.
The same goes for the 1280 x 1024 pictures.
