So what do you xhair makers out there suggest?
I've been using one from the "Nathan's Crosshair" pack and it's quite nice, but could use a tweak or two
Not to mention I got a a few hundred from UT2004 that I'd like to convert over(well, not all of them)

Unless it can handle font files(ttf), that doesn't help much

there is a program called font creator open the the file with the crosshair with that and u can edit it.

Got that one, but the trial has expired so it won't let me save

It does save. instead of ctrl+S to save just exit then it asks you to save so save and next tiem you load up u see the modifications, I am on day 140 of 30 day trial and it does save.

Shhhhhh, don't say that so loud!

Excelent topic

Just what I needed to outline my white and not-so-good-for-bright-areas big dot crosshair.

Thx a lot.

EDIT (instead of double posting):

Now I'm confused: I opened halflife2.ttf and, not knowing much about the font editor yet, I just added a circle around the crosshair to see if I could see any change ingame. I do see a change, but rather drastic. The game resets the crosshair to the default one.

Can't tell what's happening here...

We can't have anything illegal post here. If people were to send links to each other privately by PM there is not much I can do to prevent that.

Actually, the solution to my problem was in another topic. Clientscheme file.
Now I can it no matter what.

.

In your Clientscheme.res file, find (under FONTS) crosshairs, and add
"outline" "1"
on the line after
"yres" "1 10000"

so it looks like

Code: Select all

Crosshairs
		{
			"1"
			{
				"name"		"HalfLife2"
				"tall"		"40"
				"weight"	"0"
				"antialias" "0"
				"additive"	"0"
				"custom"	"1"
				"yres"		"1 10000"
				"outline" "1"
			}
		}

Voila! black outline
