Title: add alpha channel to gunsights
Post by: Sancho on September 06, 2001, 01:53:00 AM

Change the gunsight file to gif or png and allow transparency.  This will allow players to use gunsights that are partially transparent and also anti-alias rounded parts of the gunsight.  Also a controller for gunsight brightness would be nice for night/dusk.

Skurj -

Could you send me some brief instructions on changing the gunsight color to something other than the default yellow/green using photoshop?

You will probably have to do this one for each unattached section of the gunshight you choose.  In photoshop, use the magic wand to highlight the areas with the same color.  Then, go to the color selector, and double click until the pallet comes up.  Select a color (one that will ocntrast with all sky and ground colors).  then click that color.  It should be the top square in you color indicator.  Then, click on the paint bucket and when yhou click in the highlighted area, it will change to the color you selected.  Repeat as needed for unconnected area.

That's the way I do it, other's might know better and faster ways.
