scope view x-fer?

Would it be difficult to switch the zoomed view of a scope? For example: Switch the view of a sniper rifle cross hair with the scoped view of the OA Gauss Rifle. I DL'd a cool sniper rifle mod..but it has the vanilla cross hair view..the Gauss's would be cooler and much more fitting.

 

If anyone could give me a hand or direction that would rock! :D

You can go about this two ways: edit the ESP or replace all scope crosshairs with the Gauss Rifle's.

 

Method 1) You're going to need to unpack the Gauss Rifle's scope mesh from the BSA. FOMM can do this, which I hope you're using anyway. You can either unpack it to whatever directory you like, or on the same path as it originally had. Open up your downloaded sniper rifle esp in GECK, find it in the Weapon section, and edit the dropdown Target Nif for the Has Scope box in the Art and Sound tab. Voila.

 

Method 2) Extract the mesh, but rename it to Scope01.nif and drop it into your Data\Meshes\interface\hud folder. All scopes now use the same crosshair.

Ok, using option '1' where can I find the guass rifle scope? I open'd FOMM, clicked on 'BSA unpacker' but I couldnt find it, I looked in 'Fallout-meshes' but it only had the basic game weapons..nothing for DLC, and I can't find any folders that have DLC names on them.

If you got Operation Achorage, or any other DLC for that amtter, through Windows Live, the .bsa files are per default obscurely hidden away in a Games for Windows Live folder, which you might have to enable hidden folders to see in the first place.

 

I can't recall exactly where on your system the files are normally places the files - on Vista I think it's somewhere in "#:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\GFWLive\Downloads\SomethingSomething..." and on XP the equivalent of that path. I think you should be able to unpack the BSA normally from that location without any trouble, or you could just copy/move the files to your Fallout 3 folder unless you actually are fond of playing with GFWL enabled.
