Unvanquished Forum

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.

Well. That was fast.

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

Awesome, thanks for adding it so quickly! :)
