Crosshairs

<div class="IPBDescription">Adding</div> How do you put a crosshair in?

I tried to put in a new crosshair, and now I have no crosshair period. Luckily I backed up my old file and just replaced the file, but still I have no crosshair, this cant be good

So how do I put in this custom crosshair that I downloaded (it's the Overwatch Crosshair, it's like a circle)

Also the search function isn't working

and does anyone know where I can download the skulk model that looks like it came from Aliens? it's on a website but the link is broken, it's really kewl looking, too (IMO)

I don't think you can just rename them to spr.

Did you copy the weapon.txt files that the spright came with (should have come with, at least) into your sprites folder too?

Well he isnt making them so...all he needs to do is change the name of the sprite. Much like: muzzlefalsh1. I dont know what you rename it to for use of crasshair though and tbh i couldnt be bothered looking or finding out. sorry. lol.


I looked in my sprite folder but no success. I didnt find what the crosshair is called. lol. sorry <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

No, the weapon.txt files <i>tell NS what sprite to use</i> for a crosshair and how big it is. If he installed a crosshair without weapon.txt files he'll see no change, and if he tried to delete a crosshair after putting new weapon.txt files in, he'd need to change them back to the originals too or he'd be asking NS to display a sprite he doesn't have.

OMG, the lack of knowledge with windows or other basic bullcrap some people have!

dude if u read the original post I already stated that I tried searching and it didn't work, it returned with "Page cannot be displayed"

and yes, I tried renaming the crosshair file, I'm not stupid
That's why I came here because I've run out of solutions and am seeking more

nothing that was said here helped much, I have the text files for the sprite, and I think the sprite file is overview.spr but still, no go

Maus

Where did you get the sprite from? The one I made works just fine - <a href='http://members.aol.com/handhyle/crosshairs.htm' target='_blank'>http://members.aol.com/handhyle/crosshairs.htm</a>

I'm pretty sure that's where I got it, I'll try re-downloading and re-install it

I just downloaded my version to double-check things work properly, and I just noticed I never updated it to include shotgun and grenade launcher versions.

Copy one of the weapon texts a couple of times (it doesn't matter which - they're all the same) and rename the copies to <b>weapon_shotgun.txt</b> and <b>weapon_grenadegun.txt</b> to make those two use the crosshair too.

what do I rename the spr file to? Or just leave it as it is?

Maus

Leave it as it is. If you open up one of the weapon.txt files you can see there that its name is mentioned - that means that's the sprite NS will look for.

ahhh of course (didn't look at the text files)
