porschefan8 0 Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 (edited) I was tired of basically doing trial and error with grenade launches, so I made this reticle for the M203(or any launcher using the 40mm grenade) any feedback would be apprieciated Edited July 9, 2004 by porschefan8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EricJ 0 Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Does this reticule work? has it been tested? I mean, I've been pretty good with nades (sometimes it takes a 1-round adjust, but usually on the mark), so just curious, but pretty cool looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EricJ 0 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Cool, I'll give it a whirl later on today..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loot 0 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Just tested it out... It don't work playing on my Mac is my verdict. I swapped to my grenade launcher and low and behold theres not even a reticle now. lol. I dunno it might have to do with the texture type or something (I used to know) something about alpha channeling yada yada yada. Looks like a good idea IMO though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
porschefan8 0 Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 I know it worked on my system, but I tested it by copying the m16/m203 file, changing the reticle, then adding a kit w/ that gun. Whether it would work on a Mac I don't know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeko 33 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 For Mac users u'll need to save Alpha texture in A4R4G4B4 or A8R8G8B8 rsb format. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sleeper 0 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 No offense, but i've seen calibrated retics in mods already. Yours looks great, it's just been done already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loot 0 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 For Mac users u'll need to save Alpha texture in A4R4G4B4 or A8R8G8B8 rsb format. Yeah, thats it. @ Porsche, I tried it both ways (replacing reticle_gl.rsb or whatever and just changing the m203.gun file) but neither way works so I'm thinking its just the way the texture is saved. Has anyone else tried the reticule out? How is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spike_4427 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I love the new reticle, looks great do you know were i can get it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spike_4427 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 If you could send me a copy of the reticle. Thanks spike_4427@hotmail.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

porschefan8 0 Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 (edited) No offense, but i've seen calibrated retics in mods already. Yours looks great, it's just been done already. none taken. just changing the m203.gun file) try making a copy of the M16/M203, change the reticle with notepad instead of IGOR and put the gun and reticle files it in a mod. For some reason IGOR doesn't always actually change what it shows to have changed, thats why you should try it using the way I said above, with notepad. hope this helps Edited July 20, 2004 by porschefan8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loot 0 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I think the problem lies within the texture type (see Zeko's post), not the way the file's being put into the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SnowFella 8 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I'd say the reason why IGOR doesn't always make the changes it says it should is that you are trying to change a read only file. If the .gun file you are working on is write protected (and all the original files in GR are) IGOR won't warn you about it or anything even if you make changed and click the "Apply" button. All will seem peachy when you do it but once you fire up GR to test it out no changes will have been made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spike_4427 0 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I tried to use the reticle inth m79gl mod for my own peronal use but i cant fugure out why it don't work because i make the changes and the origanals are still in the game when you play it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
