try it on an all blak background (rgb 0,0,0). No need for alpha index either.

try this: (right click, save as)

You need to save them as idexed files, 8-bit vs the 24bit which it was saved as.

The sample you posted is in 24 bit color, chang it to 8 bit and make sure the 1st color on the color table is black. If you don't know how to do that just past it over a working gunsight.

ty waffle, it works well now. i likw what you did with it btw, looks like a real reflector sight:aok how did you do that, u know, fade it and tint the colour. was it something like photoshop with colour temperature?

thanks again mate

dude waffle ..

if i give you a sight to work from, can you make it a blue thing like you did there?

AND do you have any IM prog, where i can discuss and learn how you did that?

Waffle · « **Reply #8 on:** July 12, 2005, 08:39:39 PM »

post the sight and i'll mess with it.

i'd love to learn how to do that... but anyway... here's the jpg, cant hose bmp's at picturehangar

i used that with mucho success in the past....

if you can make it blueish i'll love you long time

BTW i was hoping for a 256 version of it, but never got around to it

ok, i figured it out. waffle, what program did you use. i went with mine, but in red, and blurred it a little more with photoshop, and it looks really good. thought you did such a great job with mine so i downloaded yours. theyre great man, they look very real:aok

thanks a lot for the help:D

mustaine, go over your sight with a slightly light blue (best done in paint using the fill tool). once youve done that, fill the background with black. then, use an advanced program (one that has an image effect tool, and smoothen the image. just do it enough to make it a little blurry. then use it in game. it looks like a real reflector sight

i have tried... no luck, im using the wrong parameters i guess lol

in photoshop (which i dont have) i saw someone use the "neon" tool to make what i am talking about.....

i will try again in paint shop, but it does not come out even close.
