It seemed like I had my wishes fulfilled, but when testing in game, this whitish glow appeared around the edge of the lense field of view. Also all of these what appeared to be lense scratches appeared in the field of view as well. None of these are in the original Conus UZO. It's probable this is because I didn't use the program's tools nearly as effectively as an experience modder would.
Any experienced modders out there that might want to help make this UZO more useful for night attacks ?? The surrounding area is just so bright. And it's not like the Germans had light sources on the bridge when conducting night surface attacks. 
PS. I truly love this widescreen mod and am not trying to denigrate in any way the extremely hard work of the individual who brought this masterpiece to us. |
I don't know Corel Paint, but I would recommend Paint.NET, which is free, downloadable, and full-featured. I know it will handle SH3 Targa files correctly.
Do you understand what alpha channels are and how to edit them?

Kilzima, I'm kinda confused as to what you are referring to. Neither stock SH3, GWX3, nor NYGM3.6F has an on-screen icon for "Read radio messages." All of them use the "M" hotkey to switch to the Radio Messages screen, where you can select and read radio messages sent and received. That is also true for GWX3 with Conus' SH3GWXWS 2.3.
