Help me find a file

I have scoured the artwork folder several times and cannot find BOTH of the files used for the missle lock. I have found one but not the other.

Here is the one I have found already:

Here is the file that I cannot locate.

Yes, they are different files, I have analized them very closely. I am at the point where I am going and opening EVERY single .MDL file to find it. I have been thru the A's, B's and now I'm in the C's.

well, i suggest starting in the M's for missle, or maybe T's for target

no clue about how these files are arranged, but i figure if in/out are used for the reticule......dunno, but thats where i would first look, since i have no real experience in the subject

I'd take the filename for the locked one (sans bmp) and do a search in the source for it (try it in quotes, too). The name of the unlocked one should be nearby.

OMFG! *Bows* I just got done with D, E, F, and G. My head was about to explode. You are Da Bomb, baby!

Edit: Just to give you all an idea of what I've been through at this point; I have spent 2 evenings scouring through every possible association that I could think of. After four times of going thought the list, opening every file that might be relative and resulting in several hours of wasted time, I decided to open every MDL file regardless of it's name. I've got about 7 hours spent just looking for this file. While even prior to this I have been quite familiar with the MDL's. Just can't figure how I passed it all those times... /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

Oh yea, your right. It is in the files you sent me. BUT, you modified it, so I would've never associated them together.
