That sort of explains it a bit. In the case of the tut its explaining the "transparency" but I think if you start to look at it you might understand what needs to be done.

Just a small Wiki reference as to what Alpha Channels is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_transparency

I would also recomend you to download the better scope Mod from l3th4l

Check what he has done in order to color the crosshair.
just tried better scope mod and i like it but think the compass bearings are way way too big in proportion to scope size. i pm 13th4l asked how to get something in the middle of stock bearings and his realy big bearings size but havent heard back from him yet.

i am new to sh4 and am just learning how difficult it is to make changes unlike sh3 that i mod very easy.

i think all those tga files i come accross are leftover remnents from sh3 and are not needed or even used by sh4.

i read the tut you did about alpha channel but i think my problem is that i am using paintshop pro not photoshop. paintshop pro does not have alpha channel that i am aware of. do i have to get photoshop to be on the same page as other modders so i cant be able to follow others work and understand what is going on?
