I always though the cross was green at night in the stock SHIII? Or does GWX change that?

Recently I had very bad weather at Day in Skageraak (Rain, Fog) and the HUD has dont switched to red at day (for green crosshairs).
[unfortunately, I have none screenshots ]


i want change the stock day crosshair color (black) to a dark gray or else to improve the sight at dark, foggy days..





Excuses if it to misunderstood comes by my bad English.

The crosshair is hardcoded in the game. It appears black and changes automatically to green when red light switches -also automatically- on.

You can put a new crosshair in the Alpha channel of the periscope.tga, but it will then hide the true crosshair, and hence, when it turns green you will not see it; the new one you placed there will be visible on top of the real one. The only solution would be to put a new crosshair in the Alpha channel and also make it green. It would be green also at day, but then when light goes out it would still be visible.

I know what you mean. Had a situation like you, too.
When the game sais its daytime an no red light is switched on like in the night, its hard to see the crosshair in the scope.

Edit:
dang. hitman was faster than me while i was on the phone

Thanks for the Tips.. .

Unfortunately, I do not know a lot with Photoshop or GIMP so i can edit the graphics by myself.
It is not such a big problem with the crosshair, I will be able to play with it

Thank you !
