every time i change a nhdt, which is the thing in fron of your gun that tells you where to shoot, it changes all of the weapons to it. here, watch, i changed the nhdt to the machine gun vehi on the map. it only happens if i have the weapon i changed the nhdt with is my secondary weapon. the other one i'm holding will get messed up with it.

What are you trying to accomplish by changing the nhdt?

the brute shot ndht is not good for the model i want on it

change the dependencies of the ndht instead of changing the ndht altogether.

i used dothalo, went to the weap. tag, changed the ndht

Then from there, change the bitm to your desired one...To check which one you want, open the map in ch2r (ch2r is kinda glitchy in vista though), find the hud_reticles.bitm, use the old bitmap viewer, then start going through the list:

See how number 4 on the plasma rifle ndht was the crosshair, and then upon checking the bitmap file it was number 4 also? Well change that number 4 to the number of the crosshair you want and voilla, you should have a new crosshair.

I personally haven't tested this, but it seems logical enough and should be what you need...In terms of changing things like ammo counters and stuff, if you need that, just pm me or ask here and I'll post on that.

Wow, that was quite helpful.
