Don't believe everything you read on the internet

i think ill just tell teh basics since everyone wants to know

first make your own common tool, use bfbuilder or the easiest
use battlebelks common.lvl builder (someone post a link plz)

after that

go to
Data
Common
INterface
(something like that)
look for files that have a reticule_bla (sniper, rocket etc) that you want to cahnge
copy that

now go to Custom
common
data
interface
paste taht file there
edit it in gimp how you like it (i sugugest you zoom to edit pixels better)
www.gimp.org

munge.
place in swbf folder data/lvl pc/common/eng
(or w/e language it is for you)
and your done


QuoteThe download for all of BattleBelk's builders has now been updated:

http://www.mediafire.com/?i7vx4j53kagybpy

It includes builders for common.lvl, core.lvl, (global) mission.lvl, and (red) shell.lvl

Size: 17mb

I use the method explained by Bamdur.

Can somone tell me were to find "Custom" I don't know where to find that.

The post just above yours contains the link.

All the link above does is give you the common.lvl tool.  :confused:

Like I said, you need to learn how to mod first in the general case.  Then after you know what you are doing, then you can work on common.lvl.   Until then, small issues will keep you from advancing.

That is like waking up one morning and entering a marathon so that it would easier to run a mile the next week :)

Start with the basics and work up to the more complicated things.

If you want help, please post in the mod factory section with your question.

Perhaps we can find a way to upload  the vids to here.

Could start a SWBFgamers YouTube channel, perhaps?

I could make a tutorial video if need be  :tu:
