Hi again everyone.
I just wondered does any one know if its possible to change the colour of the aiming sight when zooming. if so could you tell me how. Wink

The reason I need to do this is not that im colour blind, but when using suit zoom I find it very hard to distinguish where the centre of the cross hair is. Especially in v8 killbox where the background is very light in colour. So if anyone could help me with this it would be much appreciated... Very Happy

i think the hud is coded in c++ Neutral

anyway people that use other crosshairs are cheaters!

no its not, there are people who like the original most, so there is no advantage over other crosshairs, just the personal advantage you can have with the crosshair of your choice.
its possible to change the color, but I´m not sure if it goes for the suit zoom too.

if you play FPS games enough,you don't even need a cross hair, just aim the center of the screen at your opponents head. I don't get why we can't change cross hairs in the game,i really like the one dot in UT it's nice and simple yet very effective.

well thats not quite the sort of help i wanted shimmy Laughing

but as im not as good as you yet may be I should get a perminant marker pen and my ruler out and put a x in the right spot on my screen...... OR IS THIS WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE..... LOL Laughing

Actually, I know some plyers who have done exactly that. They used a small dot of tipp-ex!

lol we used to do that in CS when they disabled the crosshair when the AWP sniper rifle so a bluetac piece in the middle of the screen did the trick Very Happy

and am not that good dude but thanx Very Happy

I use the Red Cross , it really stands out on most backgrounds. When you zoom though, it changes to white. but i never use zoom so it's not a problem.

Thanks to lawitz for the link to the site above. No you cant change the colour of the cross hair in zoom. BUT you can down load a slightly different one which has thicker lines or some inverted triangles which is much better for those realy long shots.and the design stays the same in zoom or out of zoom LOL Very Happy

My game hugely went wrong when using crosshair trick, lol. I didn't see weapon chooser, chat, HP and all that stuff anymore, my screen was completely blank except te game itself, hehe.

I don´t know the ones in the link above work but those here: http://www.bullseyecrosshairs.com/hl2sites2.shtm
and any created with the font creator mentioned in the link work for me.

the one in the link from lawits works fine for me too. And apart from knowing the bit about chainging the file name, type to notepad even I managed to do it (AND I'M A REAL THICKY WHEN IT COMES TO COMPUTERS.) Very Happy

LOL
