Can someone explain to me how to change the color of my gunsight to something other than green or black? Thanks

You have to edit the default.bmp file in the aces high\sights\ directory.
You can even choose higher resolutions for your gunsight, i.e. 128x128.

I made a green line, close to a Black line. The marks I want to see clearly are Green/Black/Green.

IF I want to fade a mark more, I cleared half the marks
               B B B B B B B
                _G G G G G G G

type of pattern.

I would like to put some red and yellow marks but, what the hey.

If you wan't I can e-mail you my Sight File.

wan't <- what the hell is that??  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

BTW: Gunsight's can go up to 1024x1024, or any factor of 2 below that. A 2x2 gunsight would be great, yeah?

I type reflexively.

I often put 't cause of all the words that end in 't.

I don't think about it when I'm typing, and get slammed for it all the time.

I type faster than I think I guess.

You have to edit color palette, if you want to use another color on gunsight. Windows Paingbrush can't edit color palette...I think, so I use Paint Shop Pro to create new gunsight. Palatte No.255 is the transparent color, so we can use another palatte.

If you don't have a proper paint tool, create new file on Paintbrush, resize to the apropriate size(ie 32x32,64x64,128x128...) and paint the background white. The default transparent color(palatte No.255) is white.

thank you.
