Title: Crosshairs
Post by: Dr Sadako on August 24, 2003, 12:25:58 PM
The only thing so far that I don't like about 1.6 is the zoomed crosshair for Aug/Sig. Why on Earth have the picked a brownish colour for the crosshair? On many of the maps the crosshair disappers in the background and it is very hard to see.

Here you can download a new crosshair. (2kB) (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/download/crosshairs.zip)

Just add it to the root of your \Steam\SteamApps\youremail@address.net\Counter-Strike\cstrike\sprites folder (create sprites folder if it is not there).

It is a bit bulky for my taste but it is better than the original one. If anyone knows how to edit these .spr files I might have a go myself.

I have found a sprite editor and a viewer and I am currently trying to create my own crosshair. I will report of my  ... "success".  :rolleyes:

I have now made some crosshairs. As I understand it they can not be larger than 24x24 pixels in comparison to 256x256 pixels in CS1.5.

I have attached some of my experiments. Just add the spr-file to the root of your \Steam\SteamApps\youremail@address.net\Counter-Strike\cstrike\sprites folder (create sprites folder if it is not there) and rename the file you want to use to "crosshairs.spr". I am using green5.spr myself. Open the bmp to see how the crosshair look.

A slight modification and an improvement imo.

Great news! assault.spr can be used in 1.6 Whatever your faourite aug/552 scope is, copy it from your cs sprites to a new sprites folder in steam. along with the .txt files for both of them.

I use THIS (http://csnation.counter-strike.net/content/sotd.php?id=2940) one. I'll see if I can make it work in 1.6
