Bug: Black scope for FG42, Garand, K43 CovOps

[tyrano]

Hello, I seem to be having a problem here with my scopes in ET. This just recently started, and the only thing that I have changed is adding a soundpak to /etmain/. Basically, everytime I hit alt-fire to switch to scope mode as a covops, the entire viewing field comes up black. I can still see my interface and reticle, but what I am supposed to be looking at, ie players buildings etc is completely black. I forgot to take a screenshot but I am wondering if anyone has come across this problem and has a fix for it. It must be some variable somewhere. :banghead:

[Fusen]

have you ever thought that you could have a stalker who keeps jumping infront of you when you try and scope? :huh:

[tyrano]

he must be invisible then except through the scope and always in front of me

[Espress0]

Yap.I have heard lotsa people complain about that.

If it has started after the installing of the sound pack just remove the sound pack.
To me it seems that this is a sound and graphic pack.

[tyrano]

removing the soundpack does not revolve the issue. i should have mentioned i had tried this before coming to splashdamage.com

tyrano, never thought i see u discussing this here lol, i was going to suggest u that but i couldnt help u on the server… :banghead:

EDIT: Express0 your Sig is too big i think ? anyone ? lol

[Salteh]

Not too big width / height wise I think … but 110 KB is… a bit big

[Espress0]

Then shut the heck up and resize it for me

[Depth_Charge]

There 19 kb ( i am not going to leave the picture up so save it :P)

Tyrano see if there were any packs downloaded to other mod folders such as shrub or etpro

[tyrano]

thanks but there was nothing else installed as far as I could see Depth_Charge. Here are some before and after screenshots as well.

No scope.

Scoped weapon.

why do people snipe with an fg42 in the 1st place?

soz 4 offtop.

[Mark.C]

Have you tried taking off the lens cap ?

[L2_B4tt3rY]

it doesnt matter, go grab a SMG and get into the action

Well, it is remotely possible that sound pack replaces the scope mask with a completely black one. Try removing it.

[tyrano]

Wow if I hear one more person suggest I “take the lens cap off” i’ll explode lol. The point is not why snipe with the fg42 or why use it or how anything, its how to fix it. Chances are some ass kicking would ensue if we ever met on a server, despite the weapon of choice, but regardless I just want to fix this. Since no one seems to have a solution, it looks like I am going to have to reinstall ET, repatch, get all the maps again. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. thank you for all your help and suggestions though.

“removing the soundpack does not revolve the issue. i should have mentioned i had tried this before coming to splashdamage.com”

[chr0nicles]

Well if all logic fails, just uninstall the game, remove ALL leftover directories and try again

side node: check your config, perhaps one of your cvars is causing it

[tyrano]

Yes Yes! but which cvar handles the scope o_O
