How to make blocky iron sights+scopes

[Energyx]

Hay guys im pretty decent at modding normal scopes but i cant do blocky iron sights for the guns i mod and i think they make shooting them better and more acurate so i was wondering if any one had a guide or a video they could show to make blocky iron sights and scopes .

Thanxs for reading :)*

.Open up your gun Slab 6.

.Do some editing on the gun (From the position you would normally be looking down sights, you will be taking a screen shot), so that it would look better when adding detail to the sight.

.Take said screen shot. You can use a Screen capping program or press "prt sc" and paste to MS paint or any other image editing program.

.Open in any image editing program, and make the grey from slab 6 white with the bucket tool. (Completely optional)

.Center the image in MS Paint, doing it later can cause disaster depending on what program you use to make the sight in.

.Save your sight with the white background and open up your desired sight makeing program, and load said white-backgrounded image.

.Set the background to transparent.

.Erase ALL the white ACCURATELY, if you use Sumo Paint, use the rectangular select tool to select the white spot next to the sight and move them somewhere else, erase that later when you're done. (This step IS required and MUST be done, or else your sight will be unusable, and pointless.)
Save.

.Replace other .PNG in Ace of Spades folder

Now you can enjoy your new blocky sights

Or you can do it my way:

1. Open google
2. Find your weapon ironsight picture
3. Model it in SLAB6 as best as possible.
4. Strech your screen down a bit, or go fullscreen
5. Press "T" for nicer blocks effect
6. Press "R" twice
7. Set backroung color to bright white or other color that weapon does not have.
8. Align the ironsight
9. Take screenshot
10. Open it through GIMP (If you don't have it - Download it)
11. Add alpha channel.
12. Cut out white background
13. Make sure all letters, numbers and cursor are cut out too.
14. Add your little aiming thingy.
15. Create new file (800x600 with alpha channel)
16. Paint center of the screen in 4 pixels. Center of the screen is 400,300 ; 400,301 ; 401,300 ; 401,301
17. Copy your ironsight to new file and align it with red dot. Your aiming thingy should cover only 2 pixels of it.
18. Then delete rest of the red blocks
19. Cut out the aiming thingy area and add it as a new layer.
20. Switch to other layer and add blur to it through: Tools>GEGL>Box-blur (2-1 is fine)
21. Press right click on the aiming thingy layer and select "Merge down"
22. Then use color picker tool to get color and paint small spaces that bluring created.
23. If you are happy with it click save or save as.
24. Save it as "Filename.png"
25. Enjoy ;D

I don't suggest using MS paint cuz you won't be able to add alpha channel, in other words you won't see through your scope/sight in-game. There will be white background. Try using Paint.net, sumo paint or GIMP. And the center of the image (800x600) is:
300,400
300,401
301,400
301,401

Space don't use the scissors if you're using PS use the rectangular marquee the lasso tool or the quick select/magic wand, these things will do your cut fast and clean.
