Title: Custom Crosshair
Post by: tsukiyomaru0 on November 24, 2010, 01:10:02 AM

Tired of the horrid crosshairs that skulltag throws at you? Wanting something new? Now YOU can have it! And I present you with my Paint-made crosshair:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u6n5nmel7d23e5t (http://www.mediafire.com/?u6n5nmel7d23e5t)
(I don't have an image, sorry! ^^)

How to use it? Simple:
1) download it
2) copy to the "skin" folder
3) load game (don't choose it as a pwad)
4) open console
5) type in "crosshair 8" (without quotes)
6) ???
7) PROFIT!
8)

Didn't like it? Make YOURS then. How, you may ask? Let me lend you a hand:

Make your shape with the pencil tool, make sure you use black. If you need to use the eraser tool, make sure you have it set to "Hard edge".

You can now antialalize it with grey, You might want to make the background white, but the background should be on a different layer so you can remove it when finshed.

Ok, now we're almost finished, we only have to crop it now. Hold Shift and press O to select the "Select by Colour Tool". Untick "Anti-aliasing" and "Select transparent areas". Push Threshold to the max (255.0). Now click on the crosshair (Not around it)

When it's selected holding ctrl, press X then V then click on "Create new layer". Now, delete that old layer. Then go Image > Fit Canvas to Layers.

Now save it as XHAIRB<Insert any number here>.png, I'll use 8, that makes XHAIRB8.png. I don't know if these settings actually have to be this, but it works.

Now open XWE. If you use vista or windows 7 then right click XWE and click "Run as Administrator". Then it will say random bullshit, just accept. Make a new wad, File > New.

Then Entry > Load. Click on your crosshair png file.

Drag your crosshair to where it should be, here

It should say "This entry ("XHAIRB8") has been modified. Save changes?" Click Yes.

Ok, let screenshots do the talking.

(http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/5304/37954678.png)

Open up the wad. If the name of the crosshair was XHAIRB8 then type in console: "Crosshair 8".

Now you're done 8D

Hey, nice copy pasting from DTD's post on Skulltag forums. There's already a crosshair thread by the way.
Here it is. (http://cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=495)

Here? Point me out. Also, the crosshair I uploaded was made by my hands and some free time.

Lol, that old tutorial.

You can also do it like this:

ingame:

And I made that crosshair in Paint.

The old tutorial is for making crosshairs in the same way as the current skulltag crosshairs.

I was being sarcastic, and I never implied that you didn't create the crosshair you posted. I stated that there's already a crosshair thread written by DTD himself too.
Oh, and you should have posted the pack DTD uploaded at the end of that thread. It's pure awesomeness. Here's a mirror. (http://www.mediafire.com/?g5u7dyybsh5e6yr)
Forgot to say, that wad contains crosshairs from #5 to #22.
