Cool sights, how do I load one into game to use it? I tried dragging copy into sights file but didn't work.

when you want a gunsight, you right click, press "save as" (name it to whatever you want) then make sure its saved to your desktop. right click it again, press "copy" then go into your aces high folder and then paste it into the sights folder.

not really sure this gunsight will work as effectivly as the others, but its worth a shot.



just a red variant of the 110 gunsight.

that wont work - these images are .JPEGs, AH gunsights need to be .BMPs.

you can put the .BMP files into a folder, ZIP it, then attach the .ZIP file to a post in this section. then people can download and install the gunsights if they want.



edit: see below. it also shows how many times its been downloaded so you know how popular they are.

these gunsights were edited as 256bmp. if it doesnt work, open it with paint then press "save as" and under the name of the gunsight should be a drop-down box that lets you click on the "256 color bitmap img"

if it doesnt work ...

theres no "if", it definitely, 100% guaranteed, will not work.

resaving the .JPEG as a .BMP is also a bad idea, because .BMP -> .JPEG -> .BMP is a lossy process. which is why everyone who makes AH gunsights makes them available as .BMPs in the way I described.

I understand everything you've typed, which is why I know it wont work. the mode you created the files is completely irrelevant - I edit mine in 16 million colour sRGB. the main difference is that my sights will work when you drop them into the AH gunsights folder, yours will not.

since you plainly dont want to take any advice from people whose sights are actually being used to shoot bad guys online in AH every day, I'm out. :rolleyes:

alright, i got it all figured out now. its only on my computer that they automatically save as .bmp's because they were edited on it. gah im a retard. anyways, to get it as a BMP just press "save as" then when you go to name it, there should be a drop box on the bottom. click on that then press "save as BMP" and save it to the desktop.  right click it again then press "edit", that should take you into paint then click "save as" and under the name there should be another drop box. open that drop box up then click "save as 256 color img BMP" after that it might say "doing this might result in loss of color information" save anyways. go back to the desktop and then copy/paste it into your sights folder then it should work perfectly fine.
