Reticle Making Guide

[Genericusername]

Another Edit: Reading through your guide again, the third CG ret (red) is the hitmark ret and the SR rets are(I think): 4 is normal and the other 3 are the brief recharge between shots. But I don't usually snipe, so I'm not sure.

Not sure about cg, but i know about the sniper.. the other ones were for charging in the old build, but the only one used is the first (i've made 1 ret pics for sniper and they worked fine)

The red is applied as a color effect overlay... see non-generic rets (mod list) sniper

I think I understand.... so you're saying that you aren't sure about the CG, but you think it is used but not required?

 

[Genericusername]

no i'm saying im sure that the red isnt used as a hit idicator, but i may be used in other cases i'm not sure

 

[masterluso]

OK... well anyway, I've been working on some rets(using this guide ;-)) and I think they're turning out pretty good. The CG and GL are done, but I'm at a lack of ideas for the Rockets, Sniper, and Flag. But if I only have to worry about the first ret for the sniper, that makes things easier.

That's true. The hit indicator color is hardcoded, not part of the reticle files.

Well that explains that. Thanks.

REVIVE.

What's the 4th image on the CG ret?

 

[Gheist]

Irrelevant, that's what it is.

 

[poiuyt580]

so I could leave it blank?

 

[Gheist]

Jupp. You only need the first and second one at the moment (the second one gets used when the CG is overheated). I would be careful changing the file width and lenght though. If you want to leave the third and fourth blank, delete them, but don't just cut the image off there.
