(Fake) Free Sight
About This Mod
Warning: This will make your game look weird and/or bad. Use at your own risk.
This is a *fake* Free-Aim effect created with ReShade. It's not perfect, but it's funny for a minute.
"Free-Aim" means that your aiming point will no longer be tied to the center of the screen.
How it works is foolish:
It uses a "Bulge/Pinch" shader to zoom in on different parts of the screen depending on where your mouse is. To make it look right, you’ll need to increase FOV MUCH MORE THAN NORMAL. That’s why there’s a "Perfect Perspective" shader that corrects FOV distortion when you look at the edges of the screen.
There's also a basic UIMask Included so you can use your HUD.
DEFAULT KEY SHORTCUTS
'HOME' - Open ReShade overlay
'UP ARROW' - Toggle Free Aiming Effects
'DOWN ARROW' - Switching aiming grid "Laser"
'NUMPAD 0' - toggle all effects
SOME NOTES
-This is not a real fashion function, but only a visual trick. Please study ReShade if you are not familiar with it.
-This will cause some stutter when moving the mouse (it looks like ReShade and the game are slightly out of sync with respect to the mouse position)
-This will reduce image resolution/quality
-You will need to disable the effect manually to use the inventory (or any menu at all)
-This will require a change to FOV. The higher the better (within reason). You probably already have Simple ModLoader and Console Enabler- with their help you can increase FOV to 110. But I recommend using Flawless Widescreen as it also allows you to customize FOV weapons.
-If you are using Flawless Widescreen, maximizing the FOV and Weapon FOV settings may result in the retained weapons model switching to a lower quality LOD model. If you start to see polygons, try to reduce Weapon FOV by a couple of points.
-Such chic HUD textures in the video demonstration are NOT included in the game. They are part of Petit's clean user interface.
INSTALLATION
To use this preset, you need to install ReShade.
TO INSTALL (STEAM):
-Run ReShade Installer, select Stalker2-Win64-Shipping.exe*.
-For ease of installation, select ALL effects when prompted by the ReShade installer.
-After installing ReShade, drag the contents of the zip preset file to the usual location: ...\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2\Stalker2\Binaries\Win64
-When prompted, replace all files.
*IF YOU ARE USING GAME PASS:
I can't personally confirm that it works, but I've seen comments suggesting NOT to CHOOSE "Stalker2-WinGDK-Shipping.exe" when installing ReShade and instead to choose "gamelaunchhelper.exe" found in your .../S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2/Content folder.
