Well, once I've done a little more research on the nhdt tag, I'll give a few more details on how to do this.

Does the dot still appear in the middle if you roll over a target's head?

Ok, well, I'm done with the reseach on this tag, there's still alot left to map, but I've found all I wanted to find. Anyway the plugin can be found at the TRP.

Short tutorial on creating custom Reticules/HUD Elements:
It's actually very easy, Halo 2 will accept the alpha channel of a texture as a HUD bitmap(Must be DXT2/3 or DXT4/5), but all other channels must be clear. So what I did, was duplicate the banshee's contrail, extract the image, modify the alpha channel and re-injected it. Next you have to swap the Tag ID refrence of the reticule to that of the new bitmap. And finally, set the Object Bitmap Index 1 2 and 3 to 0.(Otherwise it'll refrence a bitmap that doesn't exist).

Simple
