If your like me and use a dot as a crosshair, then this could well be for you.

Just download and add the CustomXHair.spr to your Steam\SteamApps\your email address\day of defeat\dod\sprites folder.

Then just use the cl_xhair_style command followed by any number from 1 to 16 to change the colour.

It's alot better now, because you can change the colour of your crosshair to suit the map your playing.

Enjoy...:)

NOTE:

I run dod at 1280x960, so i don't know how big the dot will look in lower res screens.

1. make a 256 * 256 pixels image.
2. "unsquare" it 16 * 16 cells (unsquare means "divide into square) (or save the gif he posted)
3. reduce numbers of color to 8 bit
4. make last palette color your trasparent color
5. save 8 bit bmp
6. edit cross.qc to fit the name of your BMP
7. launch from dos: "sprgen.exe cross.qc"
8. name the output "CustomXHair.spr"
9. move your spr to DOD/SPRITES/
10. use this script to change style in game:

script to change cross is this:
************************************************** **
alias mirino "style0"

Sprite Wizard is another handy sprite creator with a simple GUI. It saves the trouble of having to compile sprites using a .QC file via a commandline. All you have to do is select the BMP to compile and choose the blending options. Sprite Wizard does the rest.

P.S. Thanks for the short tut, sir! Your xhairs are quite sexy, too.

Yeah sprite wizzard is my first choice of program for making sprites.
