Is it possible to have the default reticle smaller to help players aim, if so can some on make one. The cross reticle tends to disappear when you point it to a light colored sky

Max thats the cross shape reticle. I want the circle retilce smaller.

Your question was "is it possible". Yes it is possible, others have modified the shape of the reticle already. I just c/p that link from the MR.

I beleive I know what you mean, and im making something atm...

K heres a pic, but im still working on it....

^ if you can make out the purple in the middle its a bounce reticle, 20x20 pixels, but the whole image is 32x32 pixels so it wont be a huge white box... I dunno how to make it so that the white is gone.

Below is the reticle

Im not sure how to make it so theres no white box around it, because in the game there is

The reticle file needs to be in PNG format with alpha channels (variable transparency). The white area is the background of the image because you undid the alpha channel. Therefor the area around the colored part is no longer transparent.
What program did you use to modify the original reticle file?

Go here to learn about image editing programs that support The Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format.

BTW...
the reason the cross reticle (the red part, not the colored rings) disappears is because the code tells the reticle to land on the nearest surface. If the surface you are aiming at is really far away then it just gets smaller and smaller, if it is aiming at something really close, it is big. So by aiming it into the sky then it goes for infinity and disappears.

But if you want to change the reticle shape just change it to what ever you want and save it as a PNG with alpha channels.

OOooo

I never thought about it in that aspect... So by using my reticle, aiming at the sky would just increase the speed of getting smaller...

Will do!

Done! Will upload tomorrow.
