Built-in customizable crosshairs

Post by Forty-Two »

I haven't found the ability to modify your crosshair in Unvanquished. In Tremulous, I used dot xhairs by using a modified HUD (which I further modified because the default was a microscopic red dot), but in my opinion a larger selection of crosshair styles should be available from the start, as most contemporary games will allow you to do. I'm personally enjoying dot crosshairs a lot, but people's preferences can differ.. At any rate, I was wondering if there was some particular reason for not putting the option in, and if not, would like to suggest giving the option to players :)

Some more common designs:

I wonder how people use those semi-semi-quater arcs as crosshairs for guns, one of the shooters that I have has it...

Maybe a folder to put jpeg/tga images and a README file that states something like "shove your custom drawn crosshairs here"...

That might be nice for extra customization, but I was thinking to make it a section in the HUD options, like 'customize crosshair', where you can select basic designs and see a preview or something.

This doesn't seem like a bad idea. It's minor, but we could try to find a way to do it.

Oh yes this, I used to pretty much just edit superpies crosshair .pk3 file to whatever I wanted on tremulous, an easier way would be awesome for Unvanquished.

Very possible. Maybe even in this release.

Added. This will be in this release.

Just set cg_crosshairFile to the file which contains the settings. File format is:

Ex:
<name of weapon> <size of crosshair> <path to image>
blaster 24 gfx/crosshair/cross.tga
rifle 30 gfx/crosshair/myCoolCrosshair.png
level1 20 gfx/crosshair/basi.webp
