But however, if it can't be done with no mod used/default weapon only, it's coming from the other mod (I've seen it happen on modified sniper and such) so it's a different story.

I haven't quite had what Berserker's video showed happen, where it zooms in with another weapon entirely, so that might be due to other mods (FWS?). However, the Sniper Rifle itself zooming in all the way when you don't intend it to is definitely possible without mods, unless, again, it's just my game installation acting up. But I've had this bug for as long as I can remember, so I doubt it's just me.

Chronellium, interesting that you brought up about the Sniper Rifle itself zooming in all the way when you don't intend it to.
I found that it can depend on how far away the area you are looking through the scope at, is.
I often have to point the scoped weapon at a closer area to get the zoom to go to the intended lesser zooming increment.
I wonder if this was intended by design?
It does seem awkward and a bit clumsy at any rate though.

Well the server he played on when that happened is LC I think unless anything else add on to it and it give this effect. Normally this behavior doesn't happen in reg stock weapons.

That doesn't seem to be the case in my experience. I tried looking directly at a wall and zooming in, and also looking down a long hallway and zooming; the bug happens consistently in both cases.

Interesting. You tested it and it doesn't happen for you? It might really be just on my end, then. I made a video showing what it looks like; pay attention to the mouse overlay to see that I'm not holding the zoom button:

As you can see I had no mutators loaded, and the server I tried is, I believe, completely stock.

Now, this bug looks familiar.
'Did notice something like this but because I'm more a Rocket fanatic, I didn't care that much about it.

Now that's very strange. That doesn't happen to me at all..

It happens only very rarely and only in online play.
It's like your zoom won't stop even if you release the button... it's going out to the max zoom level.

That is very odd indeed. Perhaps it's dependent on your hardware, game settings, or some other variable, then. I was under the impression that it affected everyone, as I'm fairly sure I had this bug for as long as I played UT, which must have involved several different game installations and PCs. Anyhow, in that case, I have no issue with this not being addressed by the 469 patch.

It only gets more confusing. As you can see from the video, it happens offline for me too, and I can reproduce it consistently.

Epic only gave the ok to make a patch for UT99, you might need to contact Epic themselves if they plan on letting anyrhing done on UT2004 :/

Wouldn't that be much harder to get? I think there are a few pieces of middleware in UT200X, starting with the physics engine.

37) Infinite radius light? It would help mappers making realistic sunlight;
38) Camera to texture, or whatever to texture;

Yeah... breaking all compatibility if possible...
Such realistic sun will never work in 436 - these are doable in big parts with default lightning as I could see in some maps...

Did anyone spoke about those 4 packages that need some love ?
Engine, BotPack, UnrealI, UnrealShare.
Here I think I forgot how many bugs can be solved WITHOUT to break backward compatibility.
