hmmmmmm......well it kinda sorta worked lol

thanks mm


i changed Periscope_Mask_1024.dds to blood red but the periscope screen came out transparent blue accross the whole screen with the scope view instead of being clear, was transparent black with blue crosshair lines and the grid markings were all blue but the compass bearings were still black.

update: i tried tga file changes and they did nothing and i dont think the game even uses it.

the dds file does effect the crosshairs color along with the entire background screen color but the compass bearings still appeared in black color. there has to be another file that overlays the compass bearings for the scope.

If that's the case, I'd hazard a guess that the markings and the viewscreen are one texture, with the non-marking areas of the view transparented. By changing the colour ratios, you changed all of the colour settings of that texture...including the normally clear scope view.

You have to look at the Alpha Chanel for that stuff.

???????????????????????

i dont even have a clue what alpha channel is lol.


i think naz is right about the textures because anything i do to it messes everything up.

just converting it to tga and back to dds with no changes causes everything to go blue with black scope view
