Uber quick edit to the default x-hair because I found thinner lines much easier to aim with. No need for much else to explain other then instructions are in the zip, pic below.

Oh and there are 2 or 3 odd marks from the cut and paste work, they aren't that visible in-game anyways. If the pic is too big lemmie know, sorry.

Looks good... can I ask how you managed to get the crosshair transparency to work? Several people, myself included, are trying to work it out...

Yeah. I used the vtf plugin for photoshop and did the following...

1. Open the vtf
2. go to channels, pick "alpha 1" (the bottom channel) and ctl-i to invert the colors
3. edit it as I wished
4. ctl-i to invert it back
5. file>save
6. Put the vtf's in the proper folder

why are they named k43 scoped?

Because many moons ago during the betas, DoD had a K43 as the axis sniper rifle. The sprite names were never changed.

Hey, where can I get the VTF plugin for photoshop at??

Put the plugin into your "photoshop/plugins/file formats" folder. When you go to save the file, you get a whole bunch of options to choose from. I find it easiest to just "control+s" save to save the vtf to whatever settings it's allready at. - However make sure you backup whatever skin your editing because it (duh) overwrites it.

Thanks a ton! :)

Edit: It is giving me an error because it couldn't find the VTFLib.dll...

Think it would be possible to lower the middle vertical line about a cm and add a tiny dot in the centre?

I forgot the dll in my previous post, so go to http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?c=154#p154
Download the file and put the .dll into your root photoshop folder. Sorry about that.

And I'll do Sauce's request.
