Is there anyone that could help me to add a custom red dot sprite to the game, i have created one and saved it as a .tga file, but when ever i try to replace the original with it or try to add my custom parameters to make it work, when ever i select the weapon i added it to it crashes the game to desktop, i can get the tiny red dot sprite that pr originally came with it. but i want to add one that i have created to the game.

make it to .dds
.tga files need to be compiled to a Atlas Texture

Thanks that helped alot. Now is there any way that i could disable the need for being in a squad, tanker and pilot kit usage so anyone can fly the helis and drive the tanks?

If you try and play in a public game online with your red dot instead of the pr red dot you will be kicked by punkbuster. So unless you are just going to be playing singleplayer, don't change the red dot.

I am aware of that, I only play pr in coop with my friend. Thanks for the warning tho.
I want to remove the need for pilot, tanker and squad because that way me and my friend can play against bots. Thats what I am looking for.

I'm the type of person that is willing to try anything once, i think if i know how to write programs on visual basic, that should not be to hard, i just can not find the string where it is set up to work that way, i tried looking through the vehicle .con and .tweak files and couldn't find any strings that has anything to do with pilot, tanker or even the squad thing.
All i need is someone that can guide me in the right direction as to where the strings are located and i will play around with them my self, until i figure it out.

Thanks, Now what is a good program to edit .py and .pyc files?
I tried with notepad, its kinda confusing, tried wordpad same thing, also tried ms word 2007 and ms excel 2007, not that great either.
