Swapping crosshairs of weapons?

How do I do this without bitmap injection?

I looked a bit in the weap tag but nothing jumped out at me.

Go into a dependency swapper on the weapon you want in HHT of Eschaton and find a tag [wphi] and swap it with the weapon which has the cross hairs you want.

wphi swaps will swap the entire hud. In eschaton, you can swap individual parts of the HUD, but I've forgotten how. Philly knows, I remember him telling me. :O

I don't think he wants the whole weapon interface, just the reticle.

Well it works fine as long as your swapping clipped weapons with clipped and plasma weapons with plasma weapons.
Thats the only way I know how to do it =\

Assuming your wphi references the bitm tag you want, but you want to change the actual reticle then go into the wphi tag with Eschaton and edit either

wphi:crosshairs:crosshairs overlays:bitmap subindex (I think that changes which bitmap image it uses for bitm tags that have multiple images).
or
wphi:crosshairs:crosshairs overlays:sequence index (for changing which reticle to use when there are multiple reticles on the same image).

what if you swapped a bitm reference in the wphi tag?

Yup, that got it. Thanks for everyone's help.
