I just tried to save it and only get two choices: jpeg and bmp (no bit #, just "bmp").  Try it on the bmp options you have and see if one of them works.

Yeah, all the ones in my sights file are bmp. Bmp works in the game, IDK about jpeg.

All bmp options either give me a pure white gun sight, clear gun sight, or tells me that there will be some color loss if I proceed. Pics to follow...

This is the 24 bmp option, the only one that doesn't warn me about loss of color. The alpha slider was far left when I took the picture, but results on the right are the same.



This is the 16 bmp, and the results are the same with the rest of the bmps.

A couple of possibilities...

On the first pic with the clear gunsight; check the opacity of the sight from the clipboard.  Make sure it is not set to low visibility.

As far as saving the image; are you clicking "save as" or "save picture as"?  Eskimo has "save as" in his screenshot but I used "save picture as" and worked fine.


I can't really think of anything else, hope that does it.

I hope you are happy. You have successfully made me look like an idiot  :lol

That did it man. I ignored that one because the "some color loss may occur" scared me a little, but just OKed it and it works now!

TY all that helped!

All you had to do was go to the folders you downloaded and had hit "cut" on the ones you want, s go to your AH2 sights folder and hit "paste"  :lol.

Yep, just for future reference, 8bit=256 color.  All .bmps in AH, be it sights, skins, etc. need to be in this format.
