That would mean that the bearing is no longer diplayed in the binos.:hmm:

Not in my mod.

Edit: Which it looks like he's using!

BTW, danlisa, I just noticed your other post.

Yes, the colour of the TGA matters. It is my belief that SH3 sort of "mixes" the green colour with whatever colour the TGA is. Because the TGA is white by default, you get green... but if my theory is correct you could make the TGA red and then at night it'd be yellow!

(Edit: or, possibly, black again... depending on how it mixes it, and whether or not the colour is pure red, or red with a bit of green... oh, nm)

The binos don't change colour because SH3 doesn't add green to the bino bearing indicator at night, that's all.

Not that this is particularly useful, but there you go.

Actually, the historically 100% accurate colours would be:

1) Reticle:

Daylight: Black
Nighttime: Green, due to radioactive mass in the wires placed on the lens

2) Bearing vernier:

Daylight: Black background with white numbering

Nighttime: Same but lighted with own lamp (white) and with a touch of the ambience light, i.e. if the conning tower is rigged for red, you would actually see the numbering in orange-red

Hope that helps

Uh... that's very odd. Did you see the screenshot I sent you in the same email? It shows the attack scope at night with a black bearing - using the bearing.tga I sent you. So it does work, even in the attack scope - at least foe me. I've no idea why it's not working for ya...
