you alter the number of zoom levels on it, using Eschaton.

^ that was very specific, anyway i would love to help you, but i haven't had to worry about zooms, so i haven't messed with it or tried to figure it out, sorry

I think you can only have two levels of zoom for weapons.

First go in Eschaton > weap > Fuel Rod > Main

From there, go to:

1. Short Integers > Zoom Levels
Change it to 1 or 2, depending how many zoom levels you want it to have.

2. Floats > Minimum Zoom and/or Maximum Zoom
If you made zoom levels '1', then put the same number for min and max zoom. (e.g. 2)
If you made zoom levels '2', then put 2 different numbers (e.g. 2 and 8 like th e Sniper)

:D

2 things, 1 the fuel rod is called a plasma cannon in eschaton, from what i know anyway, and also do you mean that you can only make zoom be 2 or 8? or do you mean that you can only have 2 different settings of zoom?

no it does 2 or 8, that is in the game engine, if you try for more then it will not work.

1. Open your map in Eschaton 0.6.1
2. Go into the weap tag class and select whatever weapon you want to modify. For this tutorial, we will be modding the plasma rifle
3a. Main > Short Integers > Zoom Levels
3b. Change the 0 to 1 or 2, depending on the number of zooms you can do before going back to regular view
4a. Main > Floating Point Numbers > Minimum Zoom
4b. Change the 0 to whatever first zoom you want (by default, sniper rifle first zoom is 2x, second is 8x)
5a. Main > Floating Point Numbers > Maximum Zoom
5b. Change the 0 to whatever second zoom you want, or leave it on 0 to have only one zoom

I think that should work. If it doesn't, I don't know what's wrong XP

^that basically answered my question, so you can have any number zoom you want to put on a gun (up to some point i assume) and you aren't limited to making the zoom on a gun be 2 or 8, right?

your saying something (that i understand) as a statement the conflicts with the people who know what they are talking about, your saying the zoom on a gun can only be 2 or 8, but it sounds to me like they are saying it can be any number

who said i judged him? all i said was that neko and graveen statements i understood as saying that you can do other zooms than 2 and 8, and all i was meaning to imply was that i knew that they know they know what they are talking about, and i trust what they say, as for POG_root, i didnt mean to imply he didn't know he what he was talking, just that i don't know him and i don't know that everything he says is true or not, also it was a 2 to 1 thing so i went with the 2


EDIT also his account is newer than yours... so i dont really know what you are talking about in stating that he has been around longer than you O.o... also, if you go by account date , i have been here longer than a lot of the people who are here >.>
