Hey y'all. I'm new to this skins thing, and I could use some help. I tried to change my default bullets to somethin' a lil more visible, I got all the new junk I want saved in the think tanks folder with the origonals, but when I tried to change it, all I got was a bunch of white squares comin' out of my cannon. XO PLEASE help me.

Well cant you see it easy its a white blob you cant miss it ;)

Yah, I can see it, but, man, when you dive into a major fire-fight, all you see is white. It gets just a little annoyin' after awhile. ;)

Speakin' of which, how do u get a bigger radar?

I've got a radar as big as half of my screen (lol). You can find the enlarged radar at the "Other Stuff" in the "Files" section of this site.

I also recommend, if you've got Photoshop or similar ditto (and don't mind spending some quality t.t. Time doing graphics), that you try and mess around with the graphics yourself. That way you can have the game look like whatever you want. I'm just half way of finishing my own tank. It's cool and possibly gives you that magical force kind of touch!

Greets from wiz !

PS. One very important thing when altering the graphics; remember to use the right IMAGE FORMAT! I.e. Some images uses the.PNG format, which uses embedded alpha channels (which means that the images can be partially transparent), whereas others uses the ordinary.JPG format (fully opaque, non-transparent images).

Hence, if you use a.JPG format for, let's say the 'Reticle.png' - which is the actual aiming sight/scope and it's meant to be saved in.PNG format - you'll end up aiming with a whole lot of big squared images.

Thx wiz. SRy, but I don't have photo shop and all that stuff. The best thing I have is Paint. But hey, thx for the help. I think I'll try to get one of those bigger radars.
