Hey all,

I can't figure out how to change my reticule in game anymore. Used to work by just changing centerin and centerout in the Artwork folder or enabling a certain style in CortUI, but now I've changed both of the center files out and nothing changed. When I use the built in Style Change in Alleg that also doesn't change the reticule (it stays stock while gauges etc. change)

What am I doing wrong here?

Okay I got it to change using a different set of .mdl centerinbmp and centeroutbmp. Now how do I get it to accept a png, I know it used to work and have no idea how to do it now.

Create a text file and call it centeroutbmp.mdl
In it:

CODEuse "model"

centeroutbmp = ImportImageFromFile("paththo/your.png");

Typed on my phone so your mileage may vary.

Check out wiki FAW/index.php/Modifying_the_User_Interface

For more details.

Note that I edited this a few times.

Thanks Bunny! I'm still in love with GlassHUD btw.

I tried the redirect to a png and just got crash on startup. Anybody successfully change the reticule?

Also if I try to replace the centeroutbmp.mdl with a different version, Steam notices and helpfully re-downloads the whole game.

Yep I figured it out, the correct format is:

CODE
use "model";

centeroutbmp = ImportImageFromFile("your/file/directory/yourfilename.png", true);
