[Tutorial] How to make Custom Scopes

The alpha channel needs to be white. The color channels are the ones you want to color.

Im not too familiar with Photoshop. How do you change the colors of the others? You mean the Red, Blue, Green channels right? That program is confusing to me lol. Sorry for asking so many noobish questions. Also what is there is no Alpha channel to begin with? The file im editing is weapon_red_dot_reflex_2.dds

I don't understand how it is possible to do something wrong in this tutorial. It's really helpful, and very easy to understand. Thanks!

problem 1 photoshop link not work
ok i try it with cs1
at save: too many channels
i deleted the alpha and saved it in D X T1
next problem is at the game: couldn't load image....
i followed the instructions one by one
i've done smting wrong?
I just wanted a flame camoed weapon :'(

cs1?..
you sure that will work?
just merge all the channels together

i tryed almost 10000000 time but finally work

I never give up!

and thx for the tip

Fucked up camo

Well i tried it because i wanted the beatiful warsaw camo, everything is fine until i need to fix CRC if i press execute 1time i am 4bytes short if i press it twice, the bytes match but then when i get ingame i get a camo which looks like colourfull squares(alot of em)

hey im new to texture modding and when i seem to open the dds file after converted i get this

@House please help, when convert the arctic came (or w/e camo i choose) and then try changing to dds when i open it in css i get an error (the file isnt correct or something

)

Want me to make a vid of everything i do or do you know what im doing wrong already? i tried 3 different iwi2dds converters. all give me error when i try to opeen in photoshop.
