<div class="IPBDescription">colour change?</div> is there any way to change the colour of the crosshairs, without mod'ing anything that shouldnt be mod'ed??

now, i like the game, but those damn crosshairs make it hard for me to see what im aiming at. when u got a load of blue circles and waypoints up on screen, it makes it near impossible for me.

now im not asking for anything exessive like new x-hairs, just wondering if theres a command to change the colour, perhaps a bit darker.

    Actually, you can change everything about your crosshairs. Check the customization forums - there are boatloads of xhairs there. If you don't find what you are looking for, make a thread titled something like [spreq] Recolored Crosshairs. The [spreq] thing means you are requesting [req] a sprite [sp] be made. FYI: If you want a model made, change the [sp] to [m].

    OR.

    Just open up the files in Photoshop or whatever graphics program you have, and just change the hue. Problemo solved <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Changing the Colour hue and saturation is the best way to change it (as someone suggested above). Although if you find the xhairs too intrusive you may as well make some new ones if your messing around in photoshop <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'm just curious, but it sounds like changing crosshairs is matter-o-fact and done all the time. So why is it that some people are like "Hax hax" when you have different crosshairs. Is there some hacked set of crosshairs that makes the game easier that I don't know about or are people overreacting?

    Just wondering... How do you open the .spr's in PS? Do you change the extension first? If so, to what? Or is there a plugin? Do tell...

    Sup zer :>

    I know you can use a program called spriteview ...search for SprView...then you can export .spr 's to .bmp's for easy fun editing.

    Changing models/sprites is not hacking. I am just too lazy to change my x-hairs or I would have a long time ago, because they are highly intrusive. I supose you could also just draw x-hairs on your monitor screen and use crosshair 0....

    So there are no "hacked" crosshairs that give you an advantage ingame, like lighting up when you look at specific targets? I figured there was an actuall .exe or .cfg that would make the crosshairs actually do something instead of just passively improve your aim.

    I wholeheartedly recommend all of you interested in changing the crosshairs, to visit the <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=57113&st=120' target='_blank'>Official Release Topic</a> of the Customization Forum, and find my post about half-way down.

    I'll stick to the originals thank you

    But anyway....you CANNOT do a simple recolor. Nope, not even Hue/Saturation (sorry Shockwave)

    Anyway first you'll need SprView (which someone mentioned earlier)

    Open the crosshair and save the BMP only, forget about the sequences.

    Next you open it in Photoshop or any other programs that supports <u>changing the color table</u>. Change the last color on the table and save.

    Get a Sprite compiler (or write one yourself via batch files) and compile away. Just make sure you have the sprite render mode set right.
