[MOD] BetterAutoAim
Quick and cheap tweak that widens the angle at which the Skunk's aim assist works.
Targeting a ship or a subsystem locks the Skunk's primary gun on that target, and fires on the target regardless of where the targeting reticle, or your cursor, is oriented.
Autoaim works for all guns EXCEPT the beam weapons. Those snap to your cursor by default, although the angle at which it snaps to the mouse cursor is widened in v0.02.
_____
14.Jan.2015 - updated to v0.02
Widens the aim assist angle to 75.0 (Was 7.5). It is now correctly at 75 degrees, was limited by the mouseaim angle. Also widens the angle for beam weapons to 75.0 (This is just beyond your sight angle from the Skunk's cockpit.)
_____
Installation:
Extract into your "extensions" directory.
_____
Uninstallation:
Delete the folder "w.e_BetterAutoAim" from your "extensions directory.
_____
Compatibility:
Alters a single attribute [/parameters/playerflight/aimassist/@angle], so should be compatible with anything that doesn't alter that line. (Nothing does, as far as I know.)
Does not alter saved games.
This mod is current as of X:R 4.00
Compatible with X:R 3.61
Compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac versions of X Rebirth.

Thanks! Would have liked to extend the auto aim angle further, but it's either hard-capped or is capped by this line.
Haven't had much time to test and play lately though.
Code: Select all
<mouseaim angle="30" />

Thanks, Sparky. Updated the OP. Should be clearer now, although I just woke up, so it might also be more obfuscated.
As far as I know, autoaim doesn't work with beam weapons (unless I'm stupid, which I am). Beam weapons always seem to snap to the mouse cursor rather than locking on to the selected target. Possibly a gameplay thing to counteract the 100% accuracy. v0.02 does, however increase the angle at which beam lasers snap to cursor.
Just realized that I don't know how this would work with a joystick. Don't have one, so can't test.

Has anything changed with the game/targeting .. I use joystick and have very recently found targeting more frustrating...
Example .. I only use guns for boarding, no missiles/drones etc and the usual sequence for my game is to ( e.g Taranis/Arawan) to secure safe spot at rear of ship and reduce attacks from fighters/urv's first.. but it appears that now targeting highlights through structures and no longer what is in view first and find that I now have to cycle through every possible enemy to find the one in my eye line and then repeat cycle .... Maybe Ego have just increased the amount of defensive fighter/drones so it appears more of a problem.
Would it be possible to able to switch from 75 to 7.5 at vital moments..?

Sorry for the rather curt reply. Was between things.
Have you tried mapping "target object" (default: shift-F) to a button on your joystick? Not sure if that does what you're describing (target what's right in front of me) because I play with keyboard and mouse and I just click at what I want to target. (Or use shift-E when dogfighting.)

Compatibility update - should now be compatible with Linux and Mac versions.
Windows users need not re-download.
However, I am unable to verify compatibility since I don't have access to a box running Linux or whatever they're calling the Mac OS at the moment, so feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
