I also use pulsar and binoculars worked when I removed performance optimization plugin

I tried the right click and the function basically mimics the old behavior. The magnification happens, but no mouse wheel or keys work. After I click out of it by selecting a different tool from the bar, my view is all messed up with high zoom without a way to reset it back to normal - end up having to reload the game. 😔

Use right click to enable the binoculars. Should work in survival without ammo too

Scroll wheel and Q n E keys don’t do anything

When I choose binoculars in the selector, they appear, but when I click the left mouse button, it shows error msg saying “Weapon out of ammo”

I have the same problem as Tuuvis - also using Apex with Pulsar

Thanks for the update! What category should the binoculars appear in? I don’t see it in the G menu unless I search for it:

Update:
- Fixed block category

@Tuuvis Van Kraun
i didnt have probs on my end so far so it is possible that the plugins you use or how you make them functional interfere.

@Abisius
Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes. I'm able to use them but not zoom. They only have the typical character weapon zoom or something little like that, but Q/E or mousewheel isn't doing anything. I do have scope framework in the mod-list for this save. It got borked after the Apex update, when I had to switch from plugin loader to Pulsar.

Thanks for the tips, I will dig into it. :)

standard first aid list (file paths may vary for servers or non windows users or servers) (s for needs to be done on server/host and client side):
- make a testworld just with the affected mod and one of the other mods as a mod conflict test, don't forget the mod requirements.
- (s) make a file integrety check for space engineers itself.
- (s) delete all modrelated data of the affected mods in the main and world specific storage folder and let it regenerate in case this got corruptet (findable under %appdata%\spaceengineers and %appdata%\spaceengineers\saves\yoursteamid64\yourworldname).
- (s) delete all modrelated data of the affected mods in the workshop folder and redownload it to neutralize eventually data corruption by modupdate (files are findable inside the workshop folder of the steam library folder in which you have installed space engineers).

@Tuuvis Van Kraun
did you add it to your worlds modlist after subscribing to it? did you subscribe to its requirements and add them to your worlds modlist? did you build the binoculars inside the assembler? did you add them to you chars toolbar?

besides that the "standard first aid list" should be possible to sort out file corruption and modconflict as possible causes.

Is this still working? It's not working for me. Am I missing something?

I like this plugin. The binoculars have become my essential equipment.

Subscribed because I lost the game.

he only prob i had so far with it was in coop where whenever the host uses the binos everyone else also gets hud overlay from the binos.

yes it works on vanilla dedicated server wonderfully.

This mod is amazing, but it's more like a portable backyard telescope than binoculars. it is VERY strong with the highest ranges. Would you please consider a configuration option for server admins to modulate maximum zoom depth.

@[p42] The Fodder

No. I run it on a dedicated server with 0 problems.

Are there any issues with running this on servers?

Thank you to offer this to the community ❤️

@PimpMyDog
stuff claiming """performance improvements""" is usually messing with other mods functions due to them messing with stuff many mods rely on to function.

Oops never mind it was actually the Performance Improvement plugin as previous comments also said. Shame, I really benefited from this plugin but at least I can still play without it. I chose Binoculars mod over that :)

Same here. Subgrid projection plugin and Binoculars mod breaks this mod. Both are practically essential things for me so any way to fix this?

Will not function on consoles

mod io?

Was working fine until i used plugin manager to install subgrid blueprint plugin then it breaks

@Abisius
Ah, so it's a case of bug caused by game limitations, and therefore in the category of can't fix. But it is known about. Okay, thank you :)

@sjaak31367
shared singleplayer world and host?

a shared singleplayer world is still singleplayer and just got shared to others via a worldupload to the steamworkshop or throwing over the files via other ways so that thex can play it and there is only one in the world.

a host is either the server in case a keen based or torch based server is in use or the player that did open the world in coop mode.

the overlay appearing for clients in coop when the host uses the binos and every host action been done with the binos beeing transfered to the clients is an age old thing happenign since this mod startet its existence and as far as i remember it it was ages ago explained as beeing due to se limitations.

Bug report: When in a shared singleplayer world, when the host uses the binoculars to zoom in, it -for 1 frame- also zooms in for other people, which closes GUIs, and looks glitchy.

it shows info of what I'm holding while using the binoculars, but it's really useful for long distances

Categories changed it might only be found by searching the g menu

I think its outdated. Have crafted the binoculars and they do show up in my inventory.
But i cant equip or use them

I've lost the game...

How come I can't look around when using the binoculars? limitation?

I confirm that the binoculars conflict with the "Performance Improvement". If the "Performance Improvement" is disabled, then the binoculars work fine.

Award granted for remembering the game.

Not surprising to be honest. It's not easy to do something more that a developer has already done

@Chipstix213
developer said that this plugin actually ruins performance a bit when using with huge modpacks

At this rate I'm wondering what mods are compatible with that plugin

Can confirm flummifp remark. "Performance Improvement" plugin is not compatible with this.

Great mod!

In case this mod locks you into zoom and doesn't show a vignette when using the binoculars, the reason might be the "performance improvements" plugin.

@Abisius I get this too, but for me when I look at something that my buddy is also looking at (w/out binocs) then he gets kicked. At least I think that's what happens.

In th main Assembler

Hello! How create binocular ?
Thanks )

@Klime @Chipstix
i had just a very interresting find while playing in coop and beeig the host:
using the binos also uses the binos also for everyone else in the session, so i use the bios and everyone has the effect of it.

Did I just lose...

Thanks for the info.

@VileNet If you look at that mod's file size, it is significantly smaller than this one, and in the description the maker of that addon said that it adds the Binoculars to the Survival Kit and Assembler Tier 1's crafting; which gives it compatibility with Industrial Overhaul, as well as requiring THIS mod to be installed too, as that one doesn't contain the assets or actual code for the Binoculars mod. That mod is an addon for this one, not standalone, and thus isn't a reposting of the mod.

Looks like someone re-posted your Mod

It appears in the assembler crafting under tools it's there.
