Heh, if you're still having the dual-scope issue you could always skin one transparent. I only started fooling around with HUD files about three days before I lost all my modding progress, so as fas as I've figured it out y appears to be up/down and x left/right, but don't quote me on that. Z I'm fairly sure is front/back.

Here is the iron sights, arms included (may have some issues with the size/centering of the image):

Credits go to Treyarch for creating the iron sights in CoD5 from which I photosourced this.

Problem with the dual scope is 3rd person will look weird, even if you move the camera up to where the first person view would be (that would just confuse you as to why it moves the camera all the way there).

Which is why, as suggested a while ago, one would need to make it zoom in the same way a sniper zooms. I'm not claiming this solution is perfect, I'm claiming that it's reasonably sound.

It would be a perfectly fine solution especially for the map types it would be mainly used on, if the scope solution doesn't work.

Can't you just make it all one image or model then just when you go to zoom like a sniper scope it has iron sites instead?

The problem with the stock one is that it is all one model, but with quartered UVs. So a new model is necessary.

Yes, that's what kinetosimpetus did, and what trainmaster is using. You might want to follow the threead through a bit more carefully.

Then why isn't it working.

It is working. There is no fundamental axiom of modding that disallows this. It just takes a little trial-and-error to get it positioned right, so you can't expect it right away, or even after several days.

This was one of the earlier versions before I started trying to mess with the HUD to make it cover the whole screen.
As you can see, there was no duplicate reticule. After I messed with the size and coordinates of the reticule, the new reticule appeared but the old one didn't go away.
I dunno what's up with that.
Anyway, can someone make a tga texture with a transparent background for the iron sights?

you cant remove parts from the HUD but, as fiodis said, maybe you can skin the stock reticule/aimer/scope transparent

Anyone care to reexplain what you guys have said in simpler terms? I myself don't understand what you guys are saying.

Sure.
What has been tried in the past is skinning the sniper scope to look like an ironsight. This did not work because of the scope's UV layout; you ended up with four ironsights, two of them upside down. We've made a new, flat mesh with just straight UVs, skinned an ironsight on, and positioned it over the stock sniper scope. Then we skinned the stock sniper scope to be transparent. End result (hopefully): sniper scope ironsights.
