While a hand-aimed weapon is zoomed, a pass between the eyes and the HUD
renders the view along the gun into a corner of the back buffer, sized
to the scope's 768x768 image. It goes through a sight mask (round, or
the sniper rifle's wide one) onto a layer held at the gun, at the PC
mod HaloCEVR's per-weapon offsets. The eyes never zoom: the first-person
gun stays in the hand and the HUD layer drops the zoom mask.
vr.scope and vr.scope_size are the settings; vr.diag_zoom_seconds zooms
unattended for dumps (vr-scope.bmp). The docs now cover the VR controls,
gestures, weapon feel and scope, and credit LivingFray's HaloCEVR for
their designs.
