Right hand click on the pic and click rename (just above properties) to filename.bmp, hit enter. It will ask you if it is ok, as the file may become unstable. Hit yes and you are all set.

But.. the circle around the dot is supposed to help you lead your target. this isn't a first person shooter where you just point and click.

Post by: Max on April 10, 2009, 07:09:43 AM: IrfanView will also do the conversion quickly. It's a freeware program you can Google.

Actually in the case above.... The site is suppose to be used with an another bmp file. One is the site picture, the other is a "alpha" version of the same picture. What it does is over lays the two pictures allowing the color to show through determined by the alpha layer. So if the one above was used correctly, the "ring" around the dot would actually look light a dot with a haze around it like it was lite up on a HUD (heads Up Display)

Not an alpha, just a dead simple dot with color that really doesn't blend in or match anything in game.
But the color is also easily changed with Irfanview as Max pointed out.
