Why do I do these? I don't know. I just told you there was no reason. So just get used to it already. ================================================================================ 2) DESCRIPTION (2 ================================================================================ The Dynamic Crosshair mod is simple: it adds a dynamically resizing crosshair (a la Mass Effect, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and probably others) to Fallout 3. This crosshair shows you EXACTLY what your weapon's spread is. As you improve the weapon's relevant skill, you'll see the size of your crosshair gradually shrink, and you'll also be able to see the differences between the accuracy of various weapons. This can be very helpful in gameplay, especially when playing in third person. The accuracy circle is a separate UI element from the crosshair, so you can use this with any crosshair mod you want! That means you can get the best of every world - you can see your accuracy without having to sacrifice that neat crosshair mod you downloaded! for the best synergy with this mod, I recommend one of the following crosshair textures: Better Crosshair - FPS Style by GTA44 http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7543 Smaller Crosshair by ziher (Either DotXhair or Larger DotXhair) http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=240 Rad Crosshair and Cursor by njforgacs http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=809 Vault-Tec Crosshair by Ryuu.densetsu (Either the cross or the dot version) http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=282 Of course, you're more than welcome to use any crosshair mod you like, or none at all. The Dynamic Crosshair will work just fine with all of them, including the vanilla crosshair. Some just may not look quite as nice. Dynamic Crosshair requires FOSE to run. Without it, it will simply do nothing. ================================================================================ 3) INSTALLATION/UNINSTALLATION (3 ================================================================================ This mod comes in four flavors: 4:3, 5:4, 16:9, and 16:10, of which you should only install ONE based on the resolution at which you play the game (NOT your monitor's native resolution). To determine which one you need, consult the following list: 4:3 Resolutions: ================ 800x600 1024x640 [Letterbox] 1024x768 1152x720 [Letterbox] 1152x864 1280x800 [Letterbox] 1280x960 1600x1000 [Letterbox] 1600x1200 5:4 Resolutions: ================ 1280x1024 16:9 Resolutions: ================= 1360x768 16:10 Resolutions: ================== 1152x648 [Letterbox] 1280x720 [Letterbox] 1600x900 [Letterbox] 1680x945 [Letterbox] 1680x1050 1920x1080 [Letterbox] 1920x1200 (Note that the resolutions listed as "[Letterbox]" are not strictly 4:3 or 16:10 resolutions, but Fallout 3 letterboxes them and treats them as such, so you will need the 4:3 or 16:10 version of the mod for them.) To install this mod, simply drop the appropriate esp file (DynamicCrosshair-4-3.esp, DynamicCrosshair-5-4.esp, DynamicCrosshair-16-9.esp, or DynamicCrosshair-16-10.esp) along with the "menus" folder and the "Textures" folder, into your base folder (Default C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks \Fallout 3\Data). If you have any UI mods, make sure you downloaded the right file before you install, as your HUD will be altered if you didn't - there are currently compatibility files for both Darnified UI and MTUI, which should be available from the same place as the vanilla download. If you have a different UI mod or UI customizations that you'd like to keep, open up custom.xml and copy its contents into hud_main_menu.xml, right underneath '
