element11 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Hey. I have been having a big problem with some of my reticules on my weapons. Most of them are fine but one weapon has no reticule at all. Just a blank screen. I set it to reticule_ar.rsb like all the other weapons and this is the only one that dosent appear. Also with my sniper rifle, i set it to reticule_sr.rsb and one has rets and another dosent. When i tried to fix the one, they now both dont have rets. im using the rets in the ghst recon\data\shell\art folder. anyone know whats wrong?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Save it anduse the option of coloru u best like (A1R5B5G5, or the others...) Now the reticule should work! To make urself understanding how does it runs, open the original reticules, then go to SELECT, LOAD SECTION and click on Alpha 1 Now u will see the section line, but all the background will be of the same colour. Go to IMAGE, ADJUSTMENT, HUE-SATURATION and change the color so u can see how is that reticule Tell me if u need anything else with PMs or Emails! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ita_killabees 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 damn i read ur mex quickly and dindt get the problem...######....well, maybe the problem is in the .gun file the correct RSB RETICULE <ReticuleTextureName>reticle_sr.rsb</ReticuleTextureName> maybe there is a slash or anything...often the error is this: <ReticuleTextureName/>reticle_sr.rsb</ReticuleTextureName> with a slash more at the end of the 1st part: with that slash, the application will ignore all the other parts... check also the reticule Base Left / Right ecc... let me know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
element11 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 Yeah i know what you eman about the slash. It goes like this <ReticuleTextureName>reticle_ar.rsb</ReticuleTextureName> I really dont know. I also tried one i made, and that didnt work either. I do know how to properly make alpha channels and all that, it just wont show up on the screen in the game. I have a few retucal and pip settings the same on a couple and the others work and this one dosent. I have no clue whats happeneing and its ###### me off, because i already released my mod, and now this happens and theres no reason why it shouldnt work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRC 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Note spelling, reticule instead of reticle could give you errors you are describing. Make sure the rsb name in shell/art file matches name in gun file. One small typo can end up giving you a square on screen instead of a ret. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
element11 0 Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 spelling was fine but i got it. Dont really know how, but i copied some numbers from the origmiss gun fiels and it works now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ita_killabees 0 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 <ReticuleTextureName>reticle_ar.rsb</ReticuleTextureName> maybe im wrong, very probably...but if u used copy e past RETICLE instead of RETICULE i don't think so anyway... well, really don't know...if u see a square, it may means that something is wrong with the Aplha Channels...but it seems strange...what set are u using? A1R5G5B5 or A8R8G8B8 ? also this...well, i dont think is the problem, but lets try... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
element11 0 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 No actually, its strange. The tag is reticule and the rsb is reticle. Anyways. i did not see a square, i know the alpha channel is right, cuz rse made it. (wouldnt surprise me if they did do the alpha wrong ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
