Very cool mod, i like it a lot.
It makes weapons so much more dynamic. I especially like weapon rise and run animations. I tried adding weapons from other mods to config and this animations worked, so i hope you make this system so it can support modded weapons out of the box! The scopes are also very cool, i like the delayed adjustment when you move camera while aiming.
But unfortunately it's barely playable right now because of some problems.
1. With this mod when using iron or reflex sights, the sensitivity is very high, its seems game using normal sensitivity settings instead of ADS settings.. It makes aiming basically impossible
2. The smoke effect is to intense, making shooting from same spot very hard. Its also constantly bugs out and wont stop smoking unless you remove weapon from your belt. It seems this bug occurs if you rapidly click LMB, its especially often occurring on automatic weapons like SMG. So you constantly have a visibility problem
3. Reflex sight need opacity, some of them have this red overlay through witch you basically can't see.

yeah that's a base thing I reccomend this for whichever gun you're talking about (from a dude named Jeffrey Haager)
I can't make this work. The mod seems to override this setting in some way.

I really love most of the stuff on this mod but the 2 things I would like to see is an option to turn off smoke and a "clear" reflex sight (kinda like how theres a remove dirt option for scopes) cause the white "dirt" on the reflex sight actually hinders in aiming especially if ur running on Medium to Low settings especially when ur running away from zombies.
The image below kinda shows what I mean Its hard to even see the gap between the 2 woods cause the "white" dirt messes the sight.

PROGRESS IS BEING MADE
Clear View
Clean Aiming Animation
(don't worry, I still have to add the shaded edges around the Scope)
I will update you shortly on further progress made.

Has anyone found a fix for the Reflex Sight? It is completely unusable with how dirty it is. I'm trying to figure out how to make it completely clear with only the red dot, none of the dirt/smoke/fog like you see in KiotheCloud's photo, but I am not finding the texture for the reflex sight anywhere.

Tried that, reflex sight still isn't clear. I don't need to make a new game do I? I wouldn't think a visual xml edit would require a new game

Alright, I have been digging around the mod using Asset Studio, I think I found the file. reflex_bg in assets/prefabs/tactical action rifle/a21-dlx-tacticalactionrifle.prefab has a similar appearance as the background of the reflex sight. If this file is swapped to transparent it should solve the problem. You can't edit assets and repack them in Asset Studio, not sure how to fix this myself. @DanyEr12LX could you release a clear reflex sight version with this file fully transparent?
Edit: Tried using UABE, I can decompress A21-DLX-Scopes.unity3d but A21-DLX-Weapons.unity3d and DLX-Other.unity3d crash UABE when I try to decompress. I believe this file in in Weapons, so I think I have hit the limit of what I can do to fix this myself.

Ive noticed the scrap shotgun is still showing the reticule while aiming, not sure if that's intended.
Also on the scrap revolver, if you have the flashlight attached, it will detach from the barrel and clip into the gun when you reload.

Hey there!
I'm sorry for the inconvenience regarding the Reflexes... I've released a quick hotfix with Reflexes having now a transparent glass with the red dot in the center and adjusted their position (ScopeCameraOffset) for the Pipe Rifle, Hunting Rifle, Lever Action Rifle and Tactical Assault Rifle.
This new version is the 3.5.1
I just wanted to give you a quick update on the development of the mod!
I've managed to get the view from the scopes completely clean and clear. I finally found a way to do this.
P.S. To do this quick hotfix, I had to go back to the current released version, and oh my god, what a difference! The experimental version now has perfect visibility, even at night!
I had to start from scratch and rebuild ex novo the entire aiming mechanism.
Now the player can aim by following a clean, linear path.
The aiming animations are now calculated by the game itself, so they're no longer static and ugly ones.
You can also set the aiming speed in the XML file.
The same mechanism will need to be applied to Reflexes.
In the meantime, I'm just finishing up putting a suitable Iron Sight on the Sniper Rifle.
Next up is the Pipe Machine Gun.
To do all this, I had to do a lot of refactoring to my mod, which basically meant modifying all those intrinsic mechanisms by which it works.
As a result, the parameters for the position of the weapon when the player aims (currently written in SightsCameraOffset in items.xml and 'ScopeCameraOffset' in items_modifiers.xml) won't be needed anymore.
Instead, all this data will be written directly into the mod's configuration file, DLX-ConfigFile.xml.

Regarding the weapon modifications (barrel extender, retracting stock, etc.),
I'm planning to implement them this way in the future:
(I'm not sure why the developers didn't think of it themselves, but whatever).
I would like to create a model with a different appearance depending on the tier of the weapon.
So, if the weapon is a 'faulty' (grey) type, then mods (like the barrel extender, foregrip, retracting stock etc.)
will have a 'rusty' and a more 'hand-crafted' look.
As the tier goes up (from grey, orange, yellow, etc. to purple), the gun mods will take on a more professional and polished look.
Mods for pistols will look different from mods for machine guns, rifles, etc.

I just wanted to say a big, heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way.
Whether you've donated, sent me a direct message with advice and opinions, or posted your thoughts on this thread,
I am truly grateful for your support!

love seeing the devolpment! i was wondering if you planned on making the fore frip and retractable stock applicable to the desert falcon and handgun, for a "pistol rifle" type of set up. i think itd be fun! im sure itd look a bit strange tho with the foregrip sincee making new holding animations is.. alot of @%$#ing work lmao. again love the mod cant wait for the full version! itll find its way into my everyday play list!
Hi! Just wanted to say that this mod is great and adds a lot of character and polish to this game. Unfortunately my brother is having some issues with sensitivity of scopes and reflex sights and changing the SensitivityCorrection value in the xml doesn't seem to help. It is very very slow when ADS-ing and the zoom sensitivity setting in game doesn't make a difference. The only mods we have are Izayo's AIO Gun Pack, Black Wolf's fixed and improved vanilla iron and reflex sights (plus the Izayo compatibility patch). I'm really stumped as to why he's having an issue with the sensitivity and I'm not

2,5 years later, I return to 7 Days to Die, and this is the mod I eagerly come to see where it's at. And WOW has it gotten far! Amazing job, hands down! I will definitely not be able to play without it anymore, and my only actual gripe was the Reflex Sight, which you literally fixed the next day from my initial install of the mod!
Are you planning on exposing more things to be set up from the .xml in the future? What I would really love, is to make the setup (or what ever it's called in English, lifting the weapon to look through the scope?) faster. I personally can setup at least a 4X scope in half the time in real life, so it feels very slow. I understand, that there are animations that might make it hard to make adjustable, and do also think it feels very immersive how it is done, but if I could adjust the speed for my personal taste, it would be great.
In any case, it's an amazing mod and a true achievement, the skill level and complexity of the work that has gone into this mod is unbelievable! I would want to say I'm speechless, but obviously aren't...

Hello! I have been using this mod for a while and it worked great until this last hotfix. Apparently I can't see any of the glass textures on any of the sights. I see the rest of the sight on the reflex sight but nothing on the glass. My friend can see the whole sight as is, it did mention in the logs about my gpu being unable to render glass shaders? I have a 4090 myself, so I don't know if that is the problem or how to fix it. Any help would be awesome
