boogiebot257 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 For years, I've been lamenting that NV's iron sights are kinda, janky. Going in and out isn't smooth, it's a little awkward, etc. I've heard that it's impossible to fix because of NV's engine, but today I discovered that smooth aiming animations are already in the game. Setting true iron sights to "no" in the game's options puts the gun down the screen and keeps the crosshairs on the screen. It also puts on smooth animations for going in and out of aiming! The video below demonstrates this perfectly: So, if the animations are already in the game, and seem to work pretty well, how come no one's made a mod for it? I'd think it might be because so few people have actually tried playing with true iron sights off, but I'm not sure. Surely, with the myriad advancements in NVSE and scripting functions, there might be a way to implement this feature in properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinpatterson Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Sorry if this seems like a silly question, but I'm trying to get a grasp on what your requesting. If you'v found setting iron sights to off creates a smooth animation, what is it you want improved via mod? What part of the iron sights aiming is still falling short for you?

boogiebot257 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Basically, making the "true iron sights off" base work more along the lines of the default iron sights. Centered screen and all that. I know it's at least semi-functional, as RH_Ironsights, a mod for Fallout 3, accomplishes smooth iron sights aiming. I'm aware Fallout 3 and New Vegas have a myriad of technical differences, and I realize that it may be impossible to implement RH style ironsights into NV. Getting the smooth animations in and out while keeping the functionality of iron sights. Perhaps it is genuinely impossible for that result, but I really wonder if there's not something that can be done with going off of this setting.

devinpatterson Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 OK I'll take a look into it, unless someone else wants to try tackling it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinpatterson Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Roguehallow ported his mod,RH IronSights - New Vegas, a while back (2011). Hopefully it works in NV as well as it does for you in FO3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
