Get PakScape from http://www.MOHELITE.com

1. Open 'Pak1.pk3' with PakScape
2. Go into folder 'textures'
3. Go into folder 'hud'
4. Look at the different 'compass*****.tga' files and edit them with either Jasc Paint Shop Pro (http://www.jasc.com) or Adobe Photoshop (http://www.adobe.com).
5. Pack the files up with PakScape in the origional folders you found them in and save as user-Whatever You Want Here.pk3

* You will need user- because MOHAA reads files alphabetically and the file needs to be named after 'Pak#.pk3' in order to be read
* The file named 'compass.tga' does not need to be edited as it is not read by MOHAA
* If you are changing the shape of the compass you will need to edit the alpha channel (or as some programs call it, a mask)
