Weapon Zoom (sm_weaponzoom) adds enhanced zoom levels to weapons in Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. It may also work in other games, but we haven’t tested others.

Features include:

Mouse Bindings for zoom in/out/reset on player’s mouse wheel
A range finder
Support for multiple overlays shown when zoomed in. Four sniper scope overlays included. Players can select an overlay or turn off completely
Configurable zoom levels. Players set their preferred zoom levels. Sysops can adjust the zoom level configurations.
In-game help and settings using !wz or !weaponzoom, and !settings

Our older (nearly 10 years old!), less featureful version is also available from AlliedModders!

Update history:

sm_weaponzoom version 2.0.4:

Updated help link URL – the help URL shown within-game is now (by default) served from foo-games directly. Server operators may still self-host included help file as well, PHP required.
Updated Sourcepawn compatibility. Now using enum structs for internal data structures.
Fixed issue where sm_weaponzoom_cmdallzoom might not work – resulting in all weapons having zoom enabled
Minor performance optimization – OnGameFrame short circuits if cvar disabled for range finder, and is not compiled if range finding feature is disabled in code.

sm_weaponzoom version 2.0.3:

Added laser sight
Fixed an issue with NPCs

sm_weaponzoom version 2.0.2:

Add multi-overlay support and player tweakable overlay settings

sm_weaponzoom version 2.0.0 (1.99 testing series)

New release! Now officially sold and supported by foo-games.com
New player default levels cvar (sm_weaponzoom_defaultlevels)
Add !wz chat command shortcut. !weaponzoom still works
Enable Range Finding. New cvars are sm_weaponzoom_rangefinder and sm_weaponzoom_rangefinder_colour
The plugin uses a new method for calculating zoom levels:
- sm_weaponzoom_zoommax, sm_weaponzoom_zoomstart, sm_weaponzoom_zoomincrement cvars
- added sm_weaponzoom_fovs : this is a space seperated list of FOV’s for each zoom level. Higher FOV = less zoom. Lower = higher zoom. Range is 90 – 1.
Removed the player setting “max zoom” and replaced with a list of zoom levels the player prefers to use
Miscellaneous housekeeping
Experimental range finder support (requires recompile)
