Red Dot *Scope* issues, help?

[LennyHayes7]

Okay so all I'm trying to do is change the reticule from that mil-dot one used on the Anti-Material Rifle to my own specialised one.

 

This is how I see it plausible.

 

• Make a copy of the Mildot reticule DDS texture file and open it
• Open DXT BMP and export the "Alpha" to Paint, black out the whites and draw a white dot at the crosshair intersection to simulate a red dot, save it.
• Reopen DXT BMP and "import alpha" which will replace the scopes mask with a red dot.
• Open up a new NIF copy of the Mildot scope mesh and replace the Mildot.dds with RedDot.dds where necassary.
• Open GECK
• Find the gun I want and tick the scope box, set the reticule to RedDot.dds
• Save

I thought that would've done the trick, it seemed logical but when I go in game and zoom half of the scope is vertically blacked out and the reticule is gone, it's a blank, semi blocked view.

 

Any help would be great because it's the main feature of my next mod.
