Is it at all possible to have a crosshair like the one found in Socom for the ps2? Its basically a circle with four short lines, and a dot in the center. Here is a small picture.

Socom Crosshair (http://members.aol.com/animekidd/socom_01.jpg)

What I want is have the lines the only thing that moves. I know nothing of how to make crosshairs, so I dont now if this is possible.

Sure, if you just make the circle around the dot that doesn't move, it should work. I'll try to whip up something quick since I'm waiting for a u/l and d/l right now.

Vash, how in the world are you going to get that circle around the upper left corner of the "dot"?
this new system puts a "barrier" around 1 pixel up and 1 pixel to the left of the center dot.

I was thinking of editing the HUD to accomadate the circle, may take a few (or alot lol) of trial and errors, but it SHOULD work meh thinks. Unfortunately, my comp is acting up again and DoD keeps crashing so I can't do much to test right now...

Well good luck, i have a feeling you will be trial and error-ing for a very long time(talking from experience). The few lines of code that deal with the actual crosshair have been modded and played with to death, no result for getting the pixels above and to the left of the middle dot to show up (in the correct position).

If you can make it I would be really appreciate it. If not, oh well...guess I must live with it. :)

Sorry, i don't think it's possible with what we have for a crosshair system now..... If someone CAN find a way to make it possible PLEASE post a tutorial with what you did to make it a reality.
Sorry

I kinda figured it was a long shot but what the hey, I might as well ask.

It is possible to get a circle around the dot. Someone figured out how to change the coordinates of the barrier shortly after 1.0 came out. Just gotta run a search for crosshair-related topics, since they're far back now.

Whether the lines will come inside the circle or not is an other question, though.

Try making the center dot four pixels in a square to be more accurate, then make the coordinates a square around them [allowing room for the circle, of course].

Strange, i've done my fair amount of searching and havent found any of these threads... *shrug* guess I just didnt search deep enough.
