I'll pre-empt suggestions and assumptions that have been made before.

The marking lines are *not* part of the menu file. They are drawn onto the camera view by some other code, and are scaled according to the angular angle and initial zoom level of the camera.

Furthermore, the part of periscope.tga which looks just like a set of marking lines is bizrarrely *not* the image that the game uses to draw them. I've searched all over for that damned TGA (if indeed it is a TGA... which I assume it is) and can't find it. If I could find it, I could change it to be transparent and we'd be halfway there... but only half way, because in addition to the marking lines there's the crosshair, and I don't know if that uses a TGA. But, if it does, I bet it's to be found in the same place as the marking lines.

Anyone got any ideas where this elusive TGA might be?
