By learning how, I think you will be better off in the long run. You might get some initial frustration, but I think you would get the hang of it quickly.

Since you have the common.lvl builder, then

Start with this:

http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=3840.0

Basically, you need to find the right file to paint you new cross hair for. I don't which file is for the unit you want, but someone here will know.

You will need a painting program. A lot of people like GIMP. It is free:
http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

Load the TGA file and re-paint it. Be sure to save it with RLE compression turned OFF.

run the munge.bat file

replace the newly created common.lvl with your existing one. Be sure to back up your old file first.

Give it a shot, let us know.

very nice!

if you care to share you assets, please make a TGA pack and upload it here. It would not be necessary to upload the common.lvl file ;)
