No red dot with laser sight

Post by **Arkngt** » Sun Jul 05, 2015 2:26 pm

It might have been a mistake by me to add mods that change mechanics to my first TTW play through as I've played FNV so little that I'm not sure what comes from that and what comes from, say, WMX etc.

Anyway, I'm trying out millenia's Browning P35 and I get no red dot when adding the laser sight. When checking the screenshots, its RMR addon seems to have some kind of green glass, but I get nothing. I've tried reinstalling it from scratch but the same thing. So:

1. Is this normal? Do you only get the bettered stats and no visual red dot with such addons?

2. Is it some kind of conflict with WMX, i.e. does it need a patch or something? (I'm loading it dead last btw.)

3. Or is it something else?

I believe it is 1 because I never noticed a red dot in game but I don't have the best gaming rig on the planet. It is more like average.

You're probably right. I checked a YouTube video review of it and I saw no red dot in it either. I consoled a laser sight for the 10mm - and it has a red laser, much as in WMK for Fallout 3. So seems to differ a bit between weapons I guess - or between red dots and laser sights.

There are no red dot sadly.....i think its a limitation in the engine if im not mistaken.

For TTW our very own TrickyVein rigged up a red dot sight for the shotgun as one of its mods.

Any laser effect is just a piece of art attached to a weapon. The engine doesn't actually have anything specially defined for a laser or red dot sight, like it does, say for a scope.

You wouldn't be able to actually see a target painted with a red dot.

it's actually a red dot scope, jax. the dot's shined on the glass as a reticule

No, it's a red dot sight. A red dot scope would have magnification. Google "red dot sight" and you'll see what I mean. Unless you weren't referring to the Combat Shotgun.

TECHNICALLY it's called a reflex sight.
