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?

I don't know where. But I heard some .tga's like the moon and sun textures are hidden inside some .dat files. Checked there yet?

Yes, I have the tool for im/ex-porting textures to/from dat files and I've looked in lots of them (though not all). I can't find one that looks anything like those marking lines... but maybe I just need to go through every single file.

However, since there's evidently a chronic lack of interest in this, and since I've found a "better" use for the obs scope anyway, I'm not keen on doing that...
