Crossbow Scope Redone

In the December 2017 Black Mesa update, the crossbow scope was updated to remove the original render-to-texture scope. This was done for a myriad of reasons but its replacement was a baked texture of the viewmodel from behind. This would be okay -- if the scope texture shipped with the update wasn't so ugly.

This replaces it with a much nicer looking texture made from a render. Aside from the view area being smaller, functionally this is no different from the regular texture. I just think my version looks better, and since you're here, maybe you do as well.

Features:

* Crossbow scope isn't ugly anymore. Yay.


Note:

The crossbow doesn't respond to light when viewing the scope. This is because it is a texture overlay and this particular overlay lacks normal maps. There is nothing that I or anyone but Crowbar Collective can do about this. The regular scope texture in the vanilla game doesn't respond to light either, bare in mind.


Why not try my other workshop submissions?
