I want to make a new scope overlay for a weapon and I don´t know how to do this
Can anyone help please

And also add material in Overlay part in weapon file and also in mod.csv

or rename the material you have just converted to "scope_overlay_mp.iwi" and include it in your mod, iv never had to add it to weapon file or csv

You should never be overriding default images.

Why not? Putting them in your mod only is fine, even your raw if you don't plan on ever using the stock version again. But for this I'd recommend not doing what Scotch said since that would only allow for one unique overlay. And you don't need to add the material name to your mod.csv anyway, it's loaded by the weapon file.

I need to, without it, checkerboard inbound

materials aren't loaded by weapon file (i.e. scopeMaterials) and overriding default materials is a general no-no why do you want to replace them when you can create your own anyway. You can save 1 measly asset count but what's the point?

I have I think 3 custom scope overlays in my map, and none are called anywhere other than the weaponfile.

Why would say replacing the BO2 shaders for the stock WAW shaders in your mod folder only like so be a 'general no-no'? How exactly would that hurt anything?  ??? Or PAP camo for example, makes no sense. Only your mod would be affected...

sorry let me re-phrase what i said, copy it to your mod before you rename it
