This baby will give you translucent reticles. It took a bit of scripting, and a little chunk of gui editing, but it works, and it works pretty darned good. :) Requirements NewOpts PrestoPack v0.93

This script requires NewOpts 0.966, and Presto 0.93+

INSTALLATION
------------
 - Unzip into \Dynamix\Tribes\config. Winzip will automatically create the necessary directories
 - You should now have a folder in your \config called \deRost. In this folder you should have
     the following files:
     
     ClearSight.cs
     ClearSightGui.vol
     ClearSight094.txt  (this file)
     \reticles  (folder containing 21 prefab custom reticles)
     blank_h_reticle.bmp  (optional blank reticle to replace the default Tribes cross)

 - Open your autoexec.cs and add the following line to the end:
     Include("deRost\\ClearSight.cs");
 - Save, and run Tribes.
 
IMPORTANT NOTES
---------------
 - When using this script, you must keep your default Tribes reticle turned on, otherwise you
   will lose your IFF (friend or foe indicators), as well as your zoom braces. If you dont want
   to see the default Tribes cross, then rename blank_h_reticle.bmp to h_reticle.bmp, and place
   it in your \base directory. (Thanks to VeKToR for the bmp)
 - Tribes1 has some issues with OpenGL, so this script may not work very well with some cards,
   namely TNT and TNT2 cards. In some cases, the reticle wont display unless you use a reticle
   brightness of 75% or more. This is an OpenGL problem, and not mine.
   
KNOWN BUGS
----------
 - When pressing 'k' for the Tribes internal HUD menu, if the reticle is active you cannot
   click on any menu items. WORKAROUND: Toggle the reticle off before going into that menu.
   I will try to automate this in the next major release.
 - Let me know what else.
   
USING YOUR OWN RETICLES
-----------------------
Using your own reticles with ClearSight is pretty easy. All you have to do is make sure that the
final dimentions are 256x256, and saved using the reticle palette. All you have to do then is
place the reticle in the config\deRost\reticles folder. When you run Tribes, the reticle will be
listed in the drop down menu. Have at'er.

CREDITS
-------
Most of the code is my own, except for the screensize checking function by Presto. Those groovy
ass reticles are thanks to {ASK}Scourge. Nice job.

CHANGE LOG
----------

Changes in v0.94.5:
 - Added event to remove the reticle from the playGui on exit.
 - Added screensize info for higher resolutions (Thanks Radium)
 - Streamlined a little bit of code

Changes in v0.94:
 - NewOpts support added
 - ability to change reticle brightness via NewOpts or in-game
 - can now select any reticle from within the game (unfortunately you need to restart Tribes)
 - added a bunch of custom reticles, thanks to {ASK}Scourge! W00t!
 - fixed a slight bug with window resizing (still isn't perfect, but as good as tribes scripting
	will allow. :-/
