crosshair

Nicefu

Is there a ready-made crosshair like a sniper ? I mean always shoot in the center ?

Ooper

I made a little web page that can make crosshairs in batches, just extract the folder and click the html files to open your browser with it. https://github.com/scottadkin/ut-crosshairs-maker

Nicefu

Ooper Yes, I tried your website. But everything there needs to be done manually.

I mean is there a all ready made centered dot? (for noob like me) 😅

(It's just not my profile)

Ooper

469 has stuff to centre crosshairs already, but it doesn't mean the gun shoots 100% centre that's why some people use off centre ones. You can see it by taking a screenshot after shooting a wall. I used to use one for instagib I made that was below and slightly to the left of centre so it was centre for the shot. I just use the blocky cross that comes with UT with ACE scaling.

Ooper

Here is an example of what I mean, I coloured in the default dot crosshair in red, and drew the same size at the shot centre in black.

This is a screenshot of the 2nd to last dot, in a quick mini pack if you want to try and centre yours better.

is there a way to set the color of the crossair as the inverted background color?

I sometimes have issues, to see my crossair, in some lighter maps...

Ann0ying i use the green or white 'cross or dot' , i love white but a bit less vissible on woot if u use the dot. There is a possibility to make a black line around your crosshair , but i don't know how 🙂 or you can make your crosshair bigger so you sea it everywhere , lloll.

Here are some animated ones I made a while ago, they go through a range of colors: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I34AysRsAEiPUSvjeCM3qZ5IhHDedDI1/view?usp=sharing

Thanks for this.

However where do I have to place artflaps.utx? I tried on the system folder and root folder, but when I select the crosshairs, nothing is displayed (yes white color is selected)

ESUOH

Ann0ying its not that easy 🙂 you probably need to make a CrossHairs[0]=Botpack.CHair in user.ini

Ooper

UTX files are textures so they go in the /Textures folder.

ESUOH

Ooper ok i did that , but how do you make it work?

Ooper

read the readme... And use the normal selection method in the crosshair/HUD options.

Ann0ying

it works! thanks!

ESUOH

Mine too , only don't know wich one is the good one 🙂

jerc

I downloaded a dot with a circle so i don't lose it on lighter colors heres a screenshot
Oh wait Its this one i swear.

Ann0ying

jerc can you share those files, and how to install?

The one jerc posted is from the g1bhairz5 crosshair package which contains these crosshairs:

I think jerc is using the one labeled 5G.

Just download the zip file, unpack it, put the .utx file in your UT install's Texture folder then edit your User.ini to add the new crosshair(s) that you want to use. Then you will be able to select the new crosshair in game in the HUD menu.

Here is the crosshair section in my User.ini which has added the 5e and 5f crosshairs from this package:

CrosshairCount=13
CrossHairs[0]=Botpack.CHair1
CrossHairs[1]=Botpack.CHair2
CrossHairs[2]=Botpack.CHair3
CrossHairs[3]=Botpack.CHair4
CrossHairs[4]=Botpack.CHair5
CrossHairs[5]=Botpack.CHair6
CrossHairs[6]=Botpack.CHair7
CrossHairs[7]=Botpack.CHair8
CrossHairs[8]=Botpack.CHair9
CrossHairs[9]=G1BHAIRZ5.5e
CrossHairs[10]=G1BHAIRZ5.5f
CrossHairs[11]=Console_Crosshair.console_crosshair
CrossHairs[12]=candyman.smalldot

Make sure you increase the CrosshairCount= line to cover all the crosshairs you want to make available. Notice it starts at [0] so CrossHairs[12] is actually the 13th when counting them so I needed CrosshairCount=13

Another one that looks similar to the one jerc is using that some might like is the console crosshair from ps2 and dreamcast. That one is available here along with a picture so you can see if you like it before bothering to install it:

Here is a download for the one jerc posted.

Forgot to mention, if the crosshair is too big or small for you on the server you can adjust its size using ACE commands. Details in this thread:
https://eatsleeput.com/d/91-crosshair-size

And since I messed up the command in that thread I'll write it again here you can type the following in console:
mutate ace crosshairscale 1.0

1.0 should be the default size you can just reduce or increase that number for smaller or larger crosshair size.
