Do anyone knows if it is possible to change the color (light blue) of the "GR Target" ?? ..and How?? :)

I'm sure its possible. Extract quick.bundle with Nemon's bundle extractor (look in the map mod board for that) and look in the GRAW\data\textures folder for something. Download the DDS plugin for Photo Shop from NVIDIA and change the color.

I would look for it, but I'm at work.

k, I think i was too tried last time, because it wasn't that hard.

I'll show the results first, I changed both the crosshair and reticule colours to yellow with RGB values 255 255 0

(There is a complete code at the most bottom which you can also use)

You have to define a new color with a simple code:

<xdefine name="yellow_color" value="255 255 0" />
I placed this under the last line of these: 
<gui>

	<movie name="crosshair_scar">	

		<xi:include href="interface_items.xml" />	


		<!--<xdefine name="frame_color" value="23 197 192" />-->

		<!--<xdefine name="frame_color_highlight" value="255 108 0" />-->


		<xdefine name="dot_h" value="3 2" />

		<xdefine name="dot_v" value="2 3" />


		<xdefine name="dot_org_position" value="20" />


		<xdefine name="dot_max_pos_spread" value="120" />

		<xdefine name="dot_max_min_spread" value="-80" />


		<xdefine name="dot_org_pos_spread" value="27" />

		<xdefine name="dot_org_min_spread" value="13" />

	<xdefine name="yellow_color" value="255 255 0" />


		<xdefine name="dot_alpha" value="210" />		


		<xdefine name="ch_alpha" value="180" />


		<rect name="rect" color="@yellow_color" />
At the above remember to also change the last line's value to @yellow_color Next we edit a line from here: You see the line before </frame>, change the @base_color to @yellow_color 
<!-- S P R I T E S -->		

		<!--

		<sprite name="ch_circle_spr">

			<frame>

				<place object="aim" size="32" at="21 21 0" align="0.5 0.5" />

			</frame>

		</sprite>	

		-->


		<sprite name="ch_centre_spr">

			<frame>

				<place object="aim_centre" size="32" at="17 17 0" align="0.5 0.5" color="@yellow_color" />

			</frame>

		</sprite>
Now we should have yellow reticules and crosshair. I used yellow in my definition, you can choose a color you like by changing those RGB values. Here is the complete code for the file, if you experience problems with editing. Just copy and paste this to over you own crosshair_scar.xml 
<gui>

	<movie name="crosshair_scar">	

		<xi:include href="interface_items.xml" />	


		<!--<xdefine name="frame_color" value="23 197 192" />-->

		<!--<xdefine name="frame_color_highlight" value="255 108 0" />-->


		<xdefine name="dot_h" value="3 2" />

		<xdefine name="dot_v" value="2 3" />


		<xdefine name="dot_org_position" value="20" />


		<xdefine name="dot_max_pos_spread" value="120" />

		<xdefine name="dot_max_min_spread" value="-80" />


		<xdefine name="dot_org_pos_spread" value="27" />

		<xdefine name="dot_org_min_spread" value="13" />

	<xdefine name="yellow_color" value="255 255 0" />


		<xdefine name="dot_alpha" value="210" />		


		<xdefine name="ch_alpha" value="180" />


		<rect name="rect" color="@yellow_color" />


		<!--<bitmap name="aim" texture="data\textures\gui\crosshair_std_circle" uv_rect="0 0 @div(31,32) @div(31,32)" size="31 31" color="@highlight_hud_color" alpha="@ch_alpha" />-->

		<bitmap name="aim" texture="data\textures\gui\crosshair_std_circle" color="@highlight_hud_color" alpha="@ch_alpha" />

		<bitmap name="aim_centre" texture="data\textures\gui\crosshair_std" color="@base_color" alpha="@ch_alpha" />


		<!--

May work in multiplayer too but I can't quarantee.

I will take a look on editing the "sight" too.

Because if you edit the base_color RGB values you will change the colours of the reticules and sight + all the game window colors.

If there is somebody willing to tell editing the sight too i would apreaciate it.

Now i will take a little break.

Hey, I updated the instructions and code changes for reticule and crosshair colour changing.

It's the long post at the top.

I personally liked the yellow a lot, the colour which was in [Ghost Recon].

I think that grenade launchers have different colors, so i will go to them next time.

With these you can change the size of the crosshair:

File is the same crosshair_scar.xml

Edit the part size="32" for both.

ch_circle_spr is the circle outside the center sight.

ch_centre is a "sight" sprite inside the circle.

I wanted to get rid of the bluish one (unscoped), it just doesnt show up well enough ingame. So if I wanted a bright red, or hot pink ret, how would I go about that please?

I do remember seeing a topic on Reticule a while back, but couldnt track it down, so apologies if this has been asked/answered already.

Lighty.

Is there a way to go from blue to, sayyy, ANY OTHER color? Yellow perhaps, or red. I keep losing the blue into the background.

I tried the gun mod out, and it had a yellow color. Which was better. But I'd like to keep the original guns for now, and just chanmge the color of the reticle.

Thanbkx

Hi guys, got a strange problem with this mod....crosshair_scar.xml is not compiling to a bin, and in the game I do not have a reticle...even if I just move the unmodded crosshair_scar.xml in there, it does the same thing....

I even unbundled again to make sure the xml was "clean"...oh I also tried copying the xml in the above post and it too gave the same result, no .bin and no reticle.

I have my modded xml files in \local\engligh\gui, and other mods compile and work ok, infact if I put say another crosshair_xxx.xml file in there, say crosshair_combatsight.xml or crosshair_scope.xml, it compiles to a bin and works fine (I am also modding the sniper scope color and black border and it's working out nicely).

So any ideas as to why this particular file will not compile?

PS. This is in multiplayer co-op...I've not tried it in mission etc.
