you should go to Channels tab, on the right and then Alpha1, alpha is responsible for the outline etc, make it gray, to turn the reticle transparent. Also the reticle must be white (not in alpha channel)

ok so thats didnt work i dont think

ive got my reticle in one file : hd_reticle and then what i want blank is the hd_reticle_hit

il attach this screenie, which shows that a half transparent background (which is bad) and the middle dot is stilla ctually visible

in photoshop, i left the RGB, Red, Green, Blue coloured in black and changed the alpha1 channel to a grey colour, is this right?

coz im noe gettin the background and the middle dot is still there

thanks again

change to grey what you want to be transparent but change to white what you want to be invisible Big Ups

ok, so baically i want the entire hd_reticle_hit to be completely invisible

so i just made a blank, white square and saved it as hd_reticle_hit. i still get a solid background :/

it doesnt seem that white = invisible

becoz i have the mian bit of my reticle in hd_reticle, i just want _hit to be entirely invisible

i'm not really sure with alpha channels but you could look at how's the original reticle done. Also removing reticle hit is a BAD idea, because the reticle doesn't always direct where it shoots, reticle hit does.

But you could make the reticle reticle_hit and remove the hd_reticle

yeh i know its a 'bad' idea, but the reticle i have designed calls for a completely blank interior, trust me Big Ups

im not sure how to see the original design as im not sure where the file is for the original _hit. the dds file i paste in changes it, but the riginal is not actually 'there' if u get what i mean. so im not sure if u can tell me where the original _hit is located

yes i can do the whole reticle as _hit, bit i still need the middle invisible
