What crosshair and HUD color?

I cant even change my crosshair no matter what i do. I wanted to go back to the default and hl2dm said no. Then I wanted to change it to another custom one and it didnt like that either. It just wont go away!

yup that happens D:
At least for me a while ago.
I'll give you some tips, don't know if those might help you though.
1) try erasing the hl2 fonts from the windows font folder ( I case you have them there) Never tried this one but read people saying it works =|
2) Once a friend couldn't change the xhair, so after a while trying with no success, I found out that he (weirdly?) had 2 steam directories on different parts. As if he had installed the game twice, and we were modifiying the wrong folder.
I erased the useless one and modified the other.

Try also the little program done by "MiSheps". That can help you maybe....o_0

maybe you forgot to make the xhair files read only. if so the game will just overwrite the custom files with defaults.

lol....if that were the case my crosshair would have changed back to default a long time ago. and it hasnt. like i said ive tried everything. ive checked for 2 steam folders, ive made files read only and not read only and tried launching the game with no luck. the only thing i havnt tried is deleting the fonts out of my windows folder cause i know i have them there. but wtf? why should that even make a difference? and now, im not even so sure i want to remove my crosshair if its that big of a deal for the game to do so :roll: I guess I'll just edit my client scheme and change the color and add a drop shadow to it.

edit: speaking of which, i now cant find my clientscheme.res. I've searched my entire hl2 dm folder even with "show hidden files" checked. Nothing. FFS!

edit: nevermind.

"outline" "1"

Tried this addition last night. Game crashed whenever I loaded a map :\

added it as well be am not seeing a black ouline.

Anyway i fixed it i just copied neo client scheme now i have i nice sick green with black

I use + with neon green and black outline. Tried many others and this is what I can see best in any situation.

Green dot, black outiline, default everything else.

Using red crosshair atm becasue i have a war on biohazard and green doesnt work on that map even with outiline.

seems to work fine for me o.0

map is green crosshair green, even with outline it doesnt contrast enough for me.

wee green square black outline

Ditto

Allright, how come you guys can get the outline to work yet it crashes my game?

your the first person I heard say it crashes your game so it must be something with the way you did it or a coincidence. Works fine for many people that I know of.

Here's the setup on my rig:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\mysteamlogin\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\resource\ClientScheme.res
ClientScheme.res set to ReadOnly

Crosshairs
{
"1"
{
"name" "HalfLife2"
"tall" "150"
"weight" "100"
"antialias" "0"
"additive" "0"
"custom" "1"
"yres" "1 10000"
"outline" "1" Commented out until I know it works
}
}


The only other tweak is BaseSettings "Normal" set to a Green of 224

Well your tall and weight aren't default for a start. try

Yea, heard on the Steam forums that increasing Weight can make the xhair more solid/dense/etc as for Tall, it was the only way the default would show worth a poo(I run a high res ingame)

That map has a horrible leak in it in 1 area only get about 30 fps in said area.

How do you do that Onty?

I'd like to keep my HUD yellow but change the colour of my xhair.

erm well i just used the files from here no messing about running at 1680 res just fine and i can see the xhair no probs m8

@ jelly: lol hud never changes when you change the xhair color, just the weapon icons at the right...everything else remains default.
@ Gunny: I play at 1650x1050 and it seems to look just fine ... Actually, sometimes it's even too big, and I've got the default sizes.

AH OK, I've just been using Neo's HUD pack. Do you know if it is possible to mix two of them together? e.g. blue hud, green xhair.

well yeah ... give it a try ... choose the hud, and later change the xhair color value... if you don't know how to send me a pm or talk to me through steam and I'll explain better

Is it possibly to have a different crosshair color and a different HUD color?
