Thanks to this (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2962) thread, I was finally able to create my own crosshairs. First thing I did was convert my favorite one from 3.1, Charizard's SoF Crosshair #3. I had to do a little bit of hud.txt editing in order for it to work. It's not dynamic, of course. Here's the file and then a pic.

EDIT: Nevermind.

Do you think you could make one that is basically the middle dot for me? Mabye a touch larger but I would love just a plain dot crosshair, nothing big just enough not to get lost on the screen.

Okay, here's the aforementioned crosshair without the circle. Just a simple 3x3 "plus". Haven't tested it in-game but it should be ok. Just use the default hud.txt.

Edit: Nevermind.

nice work, im going to use this

I'm not gonna use it, the whole idea with the dynamic crosshair is to know when youve got bad aim with precision rifles, with that crosshair you wont be able to tell when you can hit people at all or not.

ok i just tried this out in game and there is a serious problem, it is off center
i tested it prone with the kar at short range, and the shot always hit outside the large circle on the top left, about 1 cm from the inner dot

I tried this myself a couple days ago, and got the same results. It always uses the first pixel in the upper left corner as the center dot. Don't think there is a way to make it do otherwise.

For anyone that doesn't know how the crosshair was done. It was made using the line "cross_style_2_dot" only in the hud.txt. The horizontal and vertical are left blank.

Err, oops? :\

Okay, looks like I screwed up. Here's the default crosshair and hud if you guys didn't back your things up or anything. I'll look more into the ways of crosshair making and try to make something good, but not for now. Sorry 'bout that.

I'm using one like that to, where its just a small 1 pixel red dot
Its great for long distance shooting, by far, but close range shooting, I find makes it harder to tell where the bullits are going...

Maybe someone can make bigger blood sprites so when you hit someone you see blood poof out, or make so the bullet poofs are more noticeable....

that would make that crosshair and any other easier to use....

:D
