While testing the mod i came across a problem.
As you can see in the pictures below, the ball is shot out of the marker barrel to give it a more realistic effect, but as you also see the ball doesn't follow threw to the reticle it hits the balloon the player is hiding behind. If switched over to "shot from eye" (meaning bullet gives the effect of being shot out of the players face) the splats follow threw to the reticle just like they would normally in RF.
So i am asking which would you prefer?
1: Paintballs to be shot from the barrel (more realistic effect, less accurate shots).
2: Paintballs to be shot from eye (more accurate shots, not so realistic). |

Definatly from the barrel. Id rather have it more realistic. That way, you actually have to poke your gun around the corner to hit someone. This would also eliminate those punks that find like the greatest hiding position, and camp people the entire game.
Its more fair to everyone if you do it from the barrel. That way, if you get hit, its your own fault for sticking out way too far. |

I agree. The more realism, the better. |

so if you shoot from the barrel the crosshairs are off slightly? 
if it doesn't shoot right in the crosshairs people might have a hard time adjusting ... hard to choose |

I would go for more realism, so shoot from the barrel. |

As you can see in the third picture the paintball in the scope site is far off from the center of the crossheir but from eye the ball will travel in the scoped crossheir all the way threw.
Ok im uploading a video right now i'll post it in a minute and you guys will see the difference between shot from barrel and shot from eye.
Ok click here to watch the video |

Oh, ok ... so it isn't as bad as i thought. Your weapons in the map don't really have much accruacy anyways, I was thinking for sniping purposes the recticle of your scope would be off from where the ball lands on the target.  |

It is off actually, if you were aiming at a players head with the crossheir right on the head you would end up hitting his left shoulder (his left< your >right). |

I reckon it would be better if it came from the barrel.
Could you maybe just remove the reticle? ... go for even more realism 
but then there is the problem with sniping |

Can't you maybe just move the reticle abit to the right 
and other wise bullits from the eye might be a better idea, because in the movie i don't really see them coming from the eye and thus i don't really see any problem. |

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to kill someone when you don't have a reticle. |

Is it possible to move the position of the guns onscreen? If so, just remove the reticle, move the gun over more to the left, and people would just have to learn to sight down the side of the barrel like in real life. I dunno. Just a thought.
*EDIT* Just watched the video. I think you can probally leave it with the shot from eye. You cant really tell. I think itll work out great. |
