Mounts & Sights

Description
This mod introduces new weapon mounts and sights that are seamlessly compatible with the vanilla ones, greatly expanding weapon customization options. The implementation aims to stay true to the original game experience and design, making it suitable for most servers.

    Hint: it's possible to configure weapons to spawn with mounts already attached.

Features

Mounts
  • Universal Pistol Mount: allows the attachment of a flashlight along with various short-range sighting devices to pistols with a flashlight rail.
  • MRDS Mount: allows to attach the vanilla pistol red dot to any weapon with a rail.
  • Kochetov Mount (a.k.a. Mosin Mount): allows the use of western scopes on weapons with the Kochetov rail system, e.g., Mosins and SKSs.
  • Warsaw Mount (a.k.a. AK Mount): allows the use of western scopes on AK variants and other soviet era weapons. It also accepts a pistol flashlight on the side rail so weapons like the "Vaiga" or the "Vikhr" can be used to battle in low light environments.
  • CR, Blaze and Tundra mounts: allows the use of western scopes on the vanilla bolt and break action rifles.

Sights
  • G43 Magnifier: it gives 3x magnification for unmagnified sights, e.g., magnifier + vanilla red dot. The magnification can be switched on and off without leaving the ADS position using the zoom in/out bindings (default is mouse wheel), providing a smooth experience.
  • Mark 3HD: same zoom levels and reticle as the trusty vanilla Hunting Scope, but with a rail base compatible with weapons and mounts that feature a rail (e.g., VS89, Mosin Mount, etc.).
  • SpecterDR 1.5-6x: dual purpose scope that allows its user to quickly flip between 1.5x and 6x magnification. It can receive the pistol red dot as an attachment and its reticle can be illuminated.
  • Pilad 4x32: fixed 4x scope with a rail base.
  • OKP-77: eastern compact red dot featuring a wide field of view and two reticle colors.
  • EXPS2: a popular holographic red dot.

Quality of Life
  • Sights are combined with the mounts like any other interaction that involves weapon attachments in the unmodified game.
  • The attachments UI is tweaked to give access to more attachments of attachments slots, making it easier to interact with larger attachment hierarchies.
  • The last used aiming mode (iron sights vs optics) for a given weapon is restored after switching away from it and back. This become a vanilla feature in DayZ 1.27.

@rgs, I'll take that into consideration, though I can't make any promises at the moment.

@Babkis, sorry, but Steam Workshop only distributes the later version.

The server I play on hasn't updated yet, is there a way to revert to the previous version of this mod so I can continue playing before they update their mods?

Thankyou @akol. Now you got our users wanting the ability to disable the iron sights when using a pilad on a rail. For example svd. Haha

@torpedo, @rgs, thanks for the report. The issue should be fixed now.
rgs May 5 @ 3:59am 
a newly spawned spectre did not have the same issue however.

Yes, I think Spectre 6x zoom is broken, can't use 6x with or without BUIS. Switching between BUIS and 1x works fine, but not the 6x.

Newest update appears to break spectre zooming when reddot is attached on top.

@Niya~Niya, make sure to read the setup guide.

The running modules are Dayz Expansion Day Editor and their predecessors

@Akol Hello, I haven't played Dayz for a long time since the last update. After this update, I found that the CZ, M70, Blase, Mosin, Pistol, and AK rails are all damaged, and the test object is ACOG4X, which cannot enter the sight angle correctly
