Yes, I have read the sticky topic on mods and maps, and I still have a question about the rectiles. I'm trying to make a rectile, but it just showes up as a box ingame, with the rectile in the center. I can't find the Alpha button that should fix the problem. (I have PSP and Photoshop, so whichever works.)
w00t?

Remember, it's Reticle, not Rectile.
I'm betting it's a problem with the file export, but I don't remember what the correct settings are...
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

If its just a white box with your reticle in the middle you didnt alpha channel. Do an alpha channel on the everything except the reticle itself.

This is where the problem lies, your reticle has no alpha channel telling the game engine which parts are translucent, and which are not. I'm only familiar in doing this with Paint Shop Pro 7, so for Photoshop you'll need to search around the menu's.
~ Open your reticle DDS in paintshop pro, rubber band everything that is NOT the reticle (to be translucent).
~ Once you've done that, open the "Selections" menu and click "Save To Alpha Channel". Overwrite "Alpha Channel 1" if it already exists, if not just create a new one.
~ Close the dialogue, then save your image as DXT5.
~ Place it in your Renegade\Data folder, then play renegade.
That will fix your problem.
