Scope for snipers (TEXTURE PACK)

This would be kind of complicated to code....

 

Not really :V
It is do-able

 

Whenever you spawn you are given armor that is automatically equipped. I doubt it would be too hard to take off the helmet and give it a pumpkin instead.
I have considered this myself actually, but I never thought to suggest it.

 

The thing with zoom for snipers is a really good idea. But to download the texture-pack automatically? I'm not sure if this is a good idea, too.

 

This has been suggested so many times before :V I still like the idea, but it will be pure hell for the ones that don't use the mcwar texture pack.

Pretty much. Also, for the ones that prefer to use old texture packs. I'm using minecraftmember7's HD one, and it hasn't been updated in forever.

 

Still, would be kinda their fault. I mean, the people who constantly ask how to shoot their guns are the people who don't have the texture pack. However, I do agree that it would be more confusing for the noobs when they see a pumpkin randomly appear on their head.

 

Easy to code. However, it would be a major problem for people without the resource pack. A client-side mod would be nice for this though,

 

Simple fix. Make it toggleable.
/scope <on|off>
Or something like that.

 

That was what I was thinking about suggesting, not a bad idea. However, it would have to be off by default, and there may have to be a toggle for certain types of guns (pistols, snipers, etc)

 

This sounds really cool with the scoping. I think I saw ZefMarcia do a YouTube video with Barrett a while ago and his scope had crosshairs. Pretty cool. I'm currently trying to figure that out how...if a texture pack then this'll be easy.

Non-the-less, good thought.

 

I was thinking, the scope only applied to snipers, and the command toggled whether snipers had a scope or not.

I believe that was the "MC-War Client," a mod coded by Orange for staff members to play MC-War with.

 

It was the MC-War client. However it was discontinued... Darn...
Well, we'll have a new MC-War client when everything is updated (I hope :v)

 

I heard maxpowa, the well-known GUI modder, was making a new one?

 

Downloading texture packs when joining the server takes a lot of time when I join servers that have it implemented. And I have very good internet.
If the broken link bothers you, just type texture.mc-war.com and it will download for you.

 

With coding you can do ANYTHING. They don't need to put a pumpkin on your head to scope. What does the effect of a pumpkin on your head do? Links to an image deep in .minecraft. We can make it do the same thing with a little focus, without putting a pumpkin on the player's head.

 

Yes, he was working on iron sights and scopes. However, 1.7 and the lack of knowledge for TabAPI stopped him.
