this would probably be better in the ns customization forum. i think if you edit the colors on your crosshair sprite so the last color is red, then it might make it red, but that is just a guess. there might already be some red crosshairs released so search for em.
- Get half-life sprive viewer - Find the .spr file you want to change - Convert it to a bmp file with sprview - edit it - save it as a bmp with the right palette - get sprgen.exe from the HL SDK (if u don't want to download it I can upload it for you) - write the .qc file for your sprite - execute sprgen -16bit yourqcfile.qc - backup the old spr file - copy the one you've just created to the ns\sprites directory
BTW I made a yellow "+" crosshair for myself. If you want to try it I've attached it to this post. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
oh, yeah, here's what it looks like <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I would recommend using <b>Sprite Wizard</b> (rather than SprGen).

thx for the nice tool´s. i think the sprite viewer + sprite wizard are reale easy to use. but i cant find the crosshair sprites in NS. know someone where i find them ?
@ FireStorm: nice crosshair, what i want is an crosshair like that one, but if it posible in red... (i need in my age a higher contrast *ggg*)

Hotfox: Ok if you need the same thing I can change the color for you.
Every sprite I've ever made with Sprite Wizard has worked <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
