It has to do with the HUD (obviously) But its quite scrambled. There is a program that fixes the scrambleness im pretty sure, but im clueless where.

Alright.

I am able to extract the reticles, by going to ui\hud\bitmaps\new_hud\crosshairs. Then opening the hud_reticles.bitm

I extract an image as *.png, edit it with photoshop.

Now when I save it as a 8.8.8.8 ARGB DDS. It tells me that it is out of the array.

All I am doing is making the reticle smaller.
