I was mucking around on one-player LAN recently, and I found that I could use magnifier to give me weapon independent clear scoping.

A screenshot of it is at http://www.n00bstories.com/image.view.php?id=1234892282

I would like to know two things:

1. Is this allowed on the n00bstories servers, or on any other major servers (black-cell, UN, Fastconn, Renstation, etc)

2. If not, will renguard stop it.

Please note that I have never used this, or the OGC icon on my desktop online (it's for CS 1.3).

Interesting find, but I don't really see this as a problem - you don't get any more pixels to target with. Although i can understand that it *may* be easier to see a sniper in the distance.

But it's like saying someone at 320x200 resolution has an advantage over someone playing at 1152x768. Wink

They do.

Personally, I run renegade at 512x384. it makes it Much easier to get hits. You should try.

I call it the bigHUD hack

Yep, my aim is better in 640x480x32 than it is in 1024x768x32
mainly because tanks and people and stuff look bigger on a 17" screen.
And the FPS is better also then. Ownage. Razz

Razz

But this magnifier thing, i doubt it does actually give you an advantage lol.

For a second I thought you had a good point, but then I saw your screenshot. Good thinking though.

whoa.

No it wouldn't. You'd only be able to see your target in a larger more pixelated form, but you'd still have the same margin for error.

Imagine it this way, you're using binoculars instead of your scope to shoot at a target. You may be able to see your target better, but it's not going to help you shoot it.

whoa.

WHat lower resolutions do is make the dot in the middle of the reticle bigger.

Thus, it makes aiming easier.

I can see how lower resolutions may make it easier, but as for this magnify tool, it's pretty much worthless because as j_ball says - "you'd still have the same margin for error".

That's pretty much all there is to say on the topic, it's not going to be blocked because it's a rediculous idea.

Why don't we all just strap a pair of binoculars to our heads, or a real magnifying glass, so we can see the pixels closer... :rolleyes:

Or just PM the enemy telling them you think they're sexy, where they'll stop to tell you how sweet you are, and you bullet them in the head?
