How do you save custom reticles to inject them?

I did a search for "custom reticles" that turned up nothing. Now I'm wondering how to save the custom reticles. I found out how to edit and insert them and everything... but all the ones I make look all screwed up when I put them in the game.

its just bitmaps, so just look for them, extract them, whatever

I don't think you are supposed to save the modified reticle as a bmp... are you?

I thought it was a .dds, however, all the .dds's I make come out wierd when I inject them. Right now, I don't have the reticle that shows where the warthog is driving. Why? I put a pixel sized dot at the center of my pistol reticle. That managed to throw everything off. I tried saving as a DXT 1 w/ Alpha, but it says something about having a problem with the alpha...

open it in a hex editor and change the DXT to the desired type, its on the first couple of lines

Actually, I found a simpler way. Save as 32 bit ARGB.
