Instead of the usual linear one, it's spaced sinusoidally so that it accurately represents ballistic behavior in a vacuum (i.e. perfect parabolic trajectory, 45º for max range). http://i.imgur.com/EMnNq.png (edit: updated for correct vertical FOV calculation) IMPORTANT NOTE: For this to work as described below, you'll need to be running the same FOV and resolution I am (120º FOV, 1920x1080). If you'd like one tailored for a different combination of resolution and FOV, I can do that, or give you the coordinates to make your own. For any weapon subject to gravity, assuming the target is at the same elevation as the shooter, the numbers give distance as a fraction of the max range (where 10 is max range). Since we have no good way to measure distance, it's not really practical for placing the first shot right on target every time, but I find it much more useful for relative adjustments than the linear ladder. For example, if I placed #4 on target and my mortar made it 80% of the way, #5 should nail it (where a linear ladder would fall a bit short). _________________ - Fix Jetpack Physics (video) (video) - Remove regen, bring back health kits - Buff explosive jumping - 100% inheritance for "bullet" weapons (nova blaster included) Last edited by Schottingham on Thu May 10, 2012 2:23 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Preferredly with 12 or 13 notches, since blecro calculated the T:A mortar max range to be around ~315 meters (12 = 25 m increcements up to 300)

Can you also add a link to my minimal reticle program here? It seems to have gone somewhat unnoticed.

I'm using it blecro; it's quite nice. Can I use this specifically for the fan-made manual I'm trying to create?

Vertical coordinates for this are:
[524 569 613 659 705 754 808 864 931 1015 ] (edit: these are wrong; PM me if anyone needs coordinates for this resolution+fov)

You probably know this, but I'm assuming pixel indexing starts at (0,0) at the top left corner, such that your screen center is the 2x2 square spanning (524,839) to (525,840).

It would be nice to have a reticle folder where you can drop in your own LightSpinfusor.png, FusionMortar.png, etc.
