sniper playthrough tracers

[yungskiz]

so ive seen mods that remove bullet tracers, ive seen a (removed) mod that added a separate ammo type that was a tracer round.

 

sniper elite 3 was recently released, and its been a while since ghost warrior two, i got the bright idea to try a sniper playthrough

 

one thing i really would like, but dont know if its possible or if it exists:

 

VAPOR TRAILS in the real world, to my understanding if you shoot out to a long enough distance, providing that humidity and temp allow for it, you will be able to, in your scope view the vapor trail of the bullet getting to the target

 

i thought this would be a neat tidbit of realism to add to new vegas, i play without tracers, but from my understanding (again) the way the "no tracer" mods work is by retexturing the tracer file to be blank, well a vapor trail is hard to see with the naked eye, and has no color......so my idea is that if someone could apply the visuals for the overlay that the activated/equipped stealth field has on the player....to the tracer file....then you vvould have a vapor trail!

Hmmm... shouldn't be too hard script-wise, although modelling/animating it would be difficult.

not even sure it would be a script, i downloaded a no-tracers mod to get an idea of how many files im working with....theres only one file in the texture folder.

 

my biggest problem with this, is that while it may be cool to look down a scope and see, it would be kind of lame with....every other gun in the game, i guess vegas only has one file for tracers.....not sure if it would even be possible to limit it to sniper rifles...if so it would only be vanilla ones

 

so from what it seems......the tracer "texture" is just a color....while the actual "tracer" is an animation that stretches that color into a line thats already ingame

 

i would need to find a tracer replacer to experiment though, as my file for tracers is already blank, due to a mod i installed that removes them.....oops...
