You guessed right, people would be more likely to help you out if I <span style='color:orange'>*move*</span> this from General to the customization forums.

Open and edit all the corresponding weapon text files:<ul><li>Loate the 'crosshair 640' from each of the files.</li><li>Change 'xhairwhatever' to the sprite you want to use.</li><li>There will be four numbers after the sprite name; change the <b>last</b> two numbers to the width and height of the sprite you want to use.</li></ul>

Width and height can be found by opening the sprite file in Sprite Viewer, clicking on the 'View' menu, and then clicking on 'Sprite Information'. The dimensions will be shown in the format "Maximum size : width x height"

You should only need to edit the 'crosshair 640' line.

Nullify the 'crosshair 640' line, by adding "//" at the start, like this:
<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->//crosshair  640 xhairmg  0 0 64 64<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

1 last question..i promise <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> How do i add a crosshair to a weapon that doesnt already have one?

Add in a 'crosshair 640' line, enter the appropriate values, and make sure the number in the top-left corner of the weapon text file is equal or larger than the number of lines are below it. For clarification, follow the example below:

Default weapon_knife.txt:
<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->10
weapon   320 320w 160 140 80 20
weapon_s  320 320w-s 160 140 80 20
ammo   320 320hud2 0 16 18 18
weapon   640 640mw1 0 135 170 45
weapon_s  640 640mw1-s 0 135 170 45
ammo   640 640hud7 0 72 24 24
<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

Adding in the crosshair line, we get:
<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->10
weapon   320 320w 160 140 80 20
weapon_s  320 320w-s 160 140 80 20
ammo   320 320hud2 0 16 18 18
weapon   640 640mw1 0 135 170 45
weapon_s  640 640mw1-s 0 135 170 45
ammo   640 640hud7 0 72 24 24
crosshair  640 xhairkn 0 0 (width) (height)
<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

Number in the top left corner (10) is okay; there are only seven lines of text below it.
