Dynamic Reticle Mod 1.1

2.895

Dynamic Reticle/Crosshair Mod


DESCRIPTION:

If you feel that vanilla GTAV reticle has become a bit boring to you due to its static nature, this mod can refresh your experience. The mod adds the dynamic reticle which reacts to your movements and firing a weapon similar to most of TPS/FPS games. Also, it adds the animated reload hud and stylized ammo hud element near the crosshair which allows you to see the amount of ammo left without looking to the top-right corner of the screen. Some features of the mod can be changed or switched on/off in the mod’s settings menu.


FEATURES:

- New crosshair similar to other shooter games.

- The crosshair's scale increases/decreases depending on your actions (walking, running, moving camera, shooting)

- Animated reload hud element when reloading a weapon (similar to World War Z game)

- Ammo counter hud element when aiming a weapon (similar to World War Z game)

- Parallax motion for the reticle and this mod's hud elements (similar to COD: Modern Warfare 3 2023)

- Dynamic custom dot with the ability to change its color

- Settings menu where you can disable/enable some of the mod’s features


REQUIREMENTS:

WARNING: Starting from GTAV update 3258, Rockstar messed things up so the stable version of ScriptHookVDotNet from Crosire doesn't work anymore. If your game build is newer than 3179 you'll have to install the latest nightly version of ScriptHookVDotNet and use it until Crosire releases the new stable build of SHVDN. But if you play on 3179 or even earlier game build just use the latest stable version of SHVDN.

- GTAV build from 2372 and higher (Tested on 3274)

- LemonUI (SHVDN2 version!)

- Latest ScripthookV

- Latest ScriptHookVDotNet (For game build 3179 and earlier)

- Latest ScriptHookVDotNet.Nightly (For game build 3258 and newer)

- OpenIV or CodeWalker RPF Explorer


INSTALLATION:

1) Put the DynamicReticle.dll file in the GTAV/scripts folder.

2) Using OpenIV (or CodeWalker RPF Explorer) in edit mode, go to "GTAV\mods\update\update.rpf\x64\textures\script_txds.rpf" and put DynamicReticle.ytd file there. Then close OpenIV (or RPF Explorer).

3) Load the game and go to the pause menu. Go to "SETTINGS > Display > Weapon Target" and set it to "Simple".

NOTE: If you skip step "2" the mod will work but only the "Overlay" rendering mode will be available in the settings menu and the mod will also draw a popup warning window in the game every 24 hours (real time) until you complete the full installation. If you want to have "Internal" rendering mode available, do not skip step "2". For more info about rendering modes read "RENDERING MODES" part below.


RENDERING MODES:

I've made an option to choose between two different rendering modes for my mod's hud elements - "Internal" and "Overlay".
"Overlay" mode renders sprites from the GTA/scripts/DynamicReticle folder on your hard drive using DirectX drawing method that is provided by ScriptHookV. It has lower quality and it might flicker if the framerate is unstable. Also the animation movements can be jittering at times. Basicaly this mode was used by me for the dev and testing purposes. I do not recomend using this mode.
"Internal" mode on the other hand renders sprites from the ingame texture dictionary the native way just like GTA draws any vanilla hud element. It draws the mod's UI at the best quality possible, the UI never flickers and the movements are smooth. Use "Internal" mode for the best experience.


USAGE:

Press Ctrl + X on the keyboard to open the mod's settings menu to change/enable/disable features of the mod.

Just so you know. At the first start of the mod, "DynamicReticle" folder will be created in "GTAV/scripts" folder. After that, all needed bitmap resources will be extracted there from the mod's .DLL file. These resources are needed for "Overlay" rendering mode. Also, the settings file will also be created in that folder.

NOTE: If the reticle is not in the center of the screen - it's ok. It means that you're playing on a screen resolution I couldn't test so I could write needed offsets. To fix this, there's a calibration module. Just open the settings menu of the mod, then go to the last menu item called "Calibrate position", chose it and just manually adjust the reticle position. It will be saved in .INI file for your current resolution. That's it.


KNOWN ISSUES:

- If you're holding a weapon, the reticle will be visible over the ingame web browser and any other scaleform related UI like hacking minigames, etc. If it bothers you to much, then just enable "Visible on aim only" option in the mod settings menu. Or better yet simply unequip the weapon before using the ingame web browser.

- When aiming down the sights with a Micro SMG or Tactical SMG (only this two specific weapons) while in first person, the reticle will not fade out. To fix this, simply equip a scope for this weapons. Also the reticle may not fade out in first person aiming mode for other weapons IF you have modified (increased) FOV values for those weapons aiming cameras (The trigger that hides reticle won't work if FOV is too wide while aiming in first person view).


NOTE: I've made this mod for myself and I'm just sharing it with you. It is provided to you AS IS. No additional feature requests are accepted unless it is something that I personally like and want to implement to enjoy myself. However, feel free to report any technical issues and bugs you may encounter. Respond lag: from 1 to a few days.
