It's mainly for spotters and to get a decent range to a building or compund where the target is located, we did play in 2 man teams, one spotter with binos and the map and rangefinder open in the background so when we saw a target the spotter tabbed out, draw a line told the shooter, took around 3 sec to get a accurate range, after 2 days of sniping we dint need the tool anymore :D but you have a valid point! :)

It's a map and a ruler so I don't think its cheating at all. Besides it mostly for newbies to start getting a feel for the range, I never use this tool anymore, but i really speeded up my "eye for range" besides Its really clumsy to use for the lone sniper since you have to alt+tab to use it and then you can't keep track of your target, so its for newbies and sniper teams mostly. thanks for the input :D

Well it's my first post, so what do you suggest I do? :/ ( Now I have 2 posts tho XD )

God morning fellow snipers, spotters & sniperteams out there. I've made a tool for spotters to use to assist the sniper in finding out the range to targets using the dayz map. In other words, it's a mapbased rangefinder. You could do this in real life aswell with a map and a ruler. I tested alot of designs but hey, the simpler the better. I made this "tutorial" so much harder than it really is to use the tool... so sorry about that ^^ How to use: Download Sushidad's Rangefinder2 here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/cqewj6 click: click here to star download from sendspace Go to http://dayzdb.com/map Instruction Pictures. http://www4.picturep...yzdb-Setup1.png http://www3.picturep...yzdb-Setup2.png http://www1.picturep...yzdb-Setup3.png #1 Setup the map. use the mousewheel to zoom, zoom so that the little thingy in top left corner is in the middle ( 50% zoom ) NOTE: THE RANGEFINDER ONLY WORKS AT THIS ZOOM #2 The blue grid should be 1km (control this with the rangefinder when u have opened it up) #3 Open the rangefinder #4 Click and hold @ your position and drag to the position of the target and it will feed you the range. And for all yall that hate getting killed by snipers. I've added a tool for you aswell: As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me
