andrew I think there might be an easier way.

Duplicate the pistols' WPHI tag, and in the XML file change the bitmap for the reticule it to a duplicated bitmap, then rebuild the map and use the EOF function in HMT to change the pistol's reticule in the duplicated bitmap slot.

That'll fix everything.

Edit: Wow, that sounds really smart DH sounds like it will work.

Wow, that does sound really smart. I'm annoyed I didn't get to post first, though.

the thing is their all the same dependencies.

Same bitm tag but want to use a different image? Change the bitmap subindex and the sequence index in the whpi tag. Not too hard.

well, so much for me sounding smart. I think Alt just won.

Andrew, could you please explain your post a bit? Leaves me confused as what your referring to.

Here's how it works to the best of my knowledge:
Bitmap subindex: which image in the bitm tag to use.
For example in the bitm ui\hud\bitmaps\combined\hud_reticles, there's a 128x128 image, then lots of 64x64 images. 0 refers to the first image (in this case the 128x128) and 1 refers to the second image and so forth.
Sequence index: which subimage in the image to use. In the above example, in the 128x128 image there's lots of reticles. Which of those reticles to use is referenced by the sequence index value. Takes a little playing around and checking other wphi's to get right but after awhile it should make sense.

makes sense...where is this found? can it be done with xml editing? or do i need eschaton?

Altimit01 · Post by **Altimit01** » Sun Feb 24, 2008 4:47 pm

It could only be done with Eschaton or hex editing since the shorts that control this are in a recursive reflexive which HMT doesn't support. Wphi->crosshairs->crosshair reflexives->crosshairs overlays->short integers
