NeJJa Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 When your charachter is in third person view, will the crosshair be centered in the middle of the screen, or be moving around controlled by the mouse (eg rainbow 6 third person view) in jedi knight 1, i always used third person view with a small sticker in the center of my screen as an aimer (setting it up perfectly was a very complex process ). Im hoping it will be centered in jk2, or mabye a toggle atleast. does anyone know?
StormHammer Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 I am 100 percent certain it is centred. There would be no point in having a freeform moving crosshair in 3rd person. You look where you want to shoot. Since the lightsaber attacks and blocking will be movement-based, it is essential to turn rapidly to meet an attack or dish out some pain, in 1st or 3rd person viewpoints, using mouselook (or using whichever controller you prefer instead of a mouse).
Indy4 Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 do you think they will change the crosshair thats in the screenshots because correct me if iam wrong but isnt that crosshair from elite force? SEYA
Lord_FinnSon Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 Yeah, I guess Raven is using same set of crosshairs, but they do fit into JK2 quite well; besides you can choose whichever you want from those or simply not to have any reticle at all.
Omne Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 It takes me forever to choose a crosshair to use. I can never decide. Anyways...yeah, they should have it stationary. There would most likely be some camera problems if it was free flowing.
StormHammer Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Welcome, Indy4 (look at my sig ). Yes, it does seem like the selection is similar to EF. Personally, I'd like to see a few more Star Wars type crosshairs. Something like the angle-brackets from MotS, maybe. Or perhaps variations on the New Republic/Imperial logos. And...of course...the new JKII logo...
Zargon Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 i would like it to be Oni/Max Payne style, so much more fluidity in movemnet, and it wil be required for hte lightsaber combat to not suck ass.....
StarScrap Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 It occurs to me that they could probably "paint" it on whatever you would hit like a laser and still allow you full mouse movement.
StormHammer Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Originally posted by StarScrap It occurs to me that they could probably "paint" it on whatever you would hit like a laser and still allow you full mouse movement. Actually...that's what Raven did with Heretic II. The crosshair jumped a bit to a potential target, and remained on that target as it moved (within certain bounds). It even increased and decreased in size dependent on how close the target was. So it is possible...
Lord_FinnSon Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Only problem with Heretic II that I found(and I only played demo) was that you couldn't move your mouse freely without using "mouse look" key at the same time.
Omne Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 In that case....if they eliminated the mouse look key, and followed most of the other stuff from Heretic II, it would work pretty nice.
Rat Boy Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Odd that in all the screenshots I've seen, the crosshair is the exact same one I use in Elite Force. I suppose that is the closest we'll ever get to a Star Wars/Star Trek crossover.

Either you didn't change it in the settings...or there was a problem on your system - or it wasn't supported in the demo. The full game of Heretic II did allow you to mouselook just by moving the mouse around, without having to press a key.
