Author: AbneyPark

Readme File:
I did not create the eXtreme part of this mod, the author is the eXtreme crew (read credits)
I did not create the the original zoom script, the author was unkown,

What i have done is changed the zoom shed loads from the original. The original script had bugs and crashed after 5 mins.
(if you want that mod, it can be downloaded from www.maps-n-mods.org)

i havent changed any of the eXtreme scripts or any of the eXtreme features
(via the addition of one line in the _globallogic.gsc file to call the zoom script)

The entire script has be recoded scince 1.1 so im just going to do a list of features

=============================================================
FEATURE List
=============================================================

*) 1x - 34x zoom (fovmin 60 - fovmin 1)

*) Text displayed about the current zoom factor used ect

*) Added dvars so the zoom can be configred via the zoom.cfg
( this dosnt have to be included as defaults are scripted in, i recomend you use it tho, it is commented)

*) Weapons will retain their last zoom factor

*) While using the scope, pressing the "frag" key will not throw a grenade
(for non sniper only servers)

*) Script is now called from _globallogic.gsc in "spwanplayer",not the gametype.gsc's
(zoom should now work on custom gametypes)

*) Included 3 sets of the sniper weapon files, you can choose one or create your own (set 1 added to iwd)
(do read the wepaon readme in the wepoans folder)

*) Removed the menu music from 1.1 so its back to eXtreme music

===== DVAR CHANGEABLE FEATURES ===== (via the zoom config)

*) Choice to display info text (shows the keys used to zoom in / out)

*) Choice to display zoom factors

*) Colour of info text can be changed

=============================================================
RANDOM UNEXPLAINED, UNEXPECTED FEATURES (these are also known as bugs)
=============================================================

*) none that i am aware of

if you do find a bug within the zoom, by all means email me, i will try and fix it, if not it will be added to this list

=============================================================
HOW TO INSTALL
=============================================================

1) Unrar/unZip (ok ignore if you already did that)

2) copy/upload the eXtreme_sniper_1.2 folder to your game servers Mods folder
(do copy everying, think configs are differant from 1.1)

3) you will need to edit the servers command line to "_set fs_game mods/eXtreme_sniper_1.2 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate"

if running a lan server
- create a shortcut for CoD4 on your desktop
- right click on it, then click propities
- where it says target. after "iw3mp.exe" add "_set fs_game mods/eXtreme_sniper_1.2 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate"

full example ( "E:Call Of Duty 4iw3mp.exe" +set fs_game mods/eXtreme_sniper_1.2 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate )

4) I have not set the configs to a sniper only server, this you will have to do your self

5) thats it guys/girls, have fun sniping each other

any problems or issues do email me
