Version 2.1.0
24/04/2025 Better Aim Reticles 2.1.1 release -Fixed incorrect filepath reference for 'Box (Outer), Cross (Long)'. -Added .gif showcase of BAR in HD2 Mod Manager.
21/04/2025 Better Aim Reticles 2.1.0 release - Performed a small alignment correction on all tethered reticles. The appearance of some tethered reticles may have changed slightly due to them being resized.
- Added 3 new 'fine cross' tethered reticles and an option to use the default 'ring' tethered reticle (player requested): 1.) Fine Cross (Triangle Cross) 2.) Fine Cross (Duplex) 3.) Fine Cross (T-Cross) 4.) Ring (Default) The 'fine cross' variants are the latest designs that I've been experimenting with. They have the same outer designs as their standard iterations to aid general eye-tracking, however these also feature a fine cross component in the center to help with longer range precision shots. I'm pretty satisfied with how they perform and recommend you give them a try.
- (Player requested) Added new set of configuration options (line+box crosshairs: ON, triangle crosshair: OFF, hitmarker: ON/OFF) for all tethered reticles.
- Added 2 more crosshair dot sizes: 1.) Miniscule 2.) Discreet 'Miniscule' is intended to provide a center reference point with the minimal obstruction to the tethered reticle when it overlaps, while still being clearly visible. 'Discreet' is intended to provide an almost imperceptible center reference point with the minimum obstruction to the tethered reticle when it overlaps.
- Updated mod Description page with new content previews and gifs.
Version 2.0.0
23/03/2025 Better Aim Reticles 2.0.0 release - All BAR mod packages have now been unified in one package. - A completely new UI has been implemented for BAR 2.0.0 in HD2MM to provide a preview of each tethered reticle and crosshair configuration option. - Due to player feedback, there are now configuration options to disable line, box and triangle crosshairs while keeping the hitmarker enabled.
Version 1.4.0
18/03/2025 Better Aim Reticles 1.4.0 - Added two new tethered reticles: 1.) X (Hollow) 2.) Diamond, Cross (Medium)
- The four main file packages have been renamed for easier identification and referencing: 1.) BAR (Super Standard) 2.) BAR (Patriot Plus) 3.) BAR (Patriot Core) 4.) BAR (Liberty Lite)
- The hit marker is now disabled in: 1.) BAR (Patriot Core) 2.) BAR (Liberty Lite)
Author comment: There were a couple reasons behind this decision. The first was to offer two distinct UI styles: full ("SUPER STANDARD") and minimalistic ("LIBERTY LITE"). Secondly, releasing new and separate BAR packages which contain further variations in their content rapidly increases the amount of time required to build and maintain each package with every update. The new approach is a compromise which hopefully provides the options which will suit the vast majority of players' tastes.
