Scope mod

Bullet Sponge · **Scope mod -** 10-02-2002, 05:43 PM

I have a mod that shows a bright green dot in place of the crosshairs and I wanna do the same with the sniperscope . I want just the dot , no crosshairs when zoomed . Can anybody tell me how to do this in Photoshop ?

ok to make a scope in ps open the zoomoverlay.tga that u extracted and goto the "channels" section on the layers tab and click on alpha1 or if it's not there clikc the create a new channel putton(little paper with a fold) and zoom in to about 800 and u should see some whit at the corners and those are the allies crosshairs. now u can delete them or anhing. but for waht u wanna do, erase them and select a bright green from the colors palette. not go to the bottom right corner. select the pencil tool and select how big u want it. now paint it EVENLY in the bottom right because these must be symetrical. save it as it was if it wasks if u wanna replace it select yes.

after, open pacscape and select new.create a new folder named TEXTURES then in that folder create another named HUD. drag your crosshair into the HUD folder,and save it as "user-blahalliedscope" in the main folder.

that's it enjoy

Almost there ! The crosshairs are gone but the dot is showing up black . Not bad , but it could be a real pisser on a dark board ! PanZer help ! How do I get the green dot ?
As for as getting the file in my email , I didn't have my addy in my profile . I get the dumbass award for today ! I don't mind doing the mod myself though , I am learning to use Photoshop .
Thanks again to all Da Sponge

i rhink you need a script.. i know you do to shade the entire scope. There is a mod called colored-sniper-scopes. I think that will work. I haven't tried colored lines so i'm not sure...but i think that's it... Give it a try!!

yes the axis scopes will color just fine but allied scopes need a special script to make them color. i have such a script here with me (thats how i got color on my allied scope) if you cant find one on your own i can send mine to you, just let me know if you need it.

Here is the file that I made that enables you to have coloured scope crosshairs!!

NOTE: You may have to add "User-piedude" (without the quote marks) to the file name of the .pk3 file to get it to work!!!
