So being the bored person that I am, I decided to start working on a custom font specifically made for crosshairs.

VERSION 2.0 RELEASED: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21833101/Fog%27s%20Custom%20HUD%20Crosshairs%20v2.0.zip

( + )

a circle around the crosshair, possibly a circle filling

Just add a ring to put around most of the crosshairs

really want that 2nd crosshair right now too.

can anyone get me a link to the 7th crosshair in #6?

Is it possible to do the default scout crosshair? Cuz thatd be pretty awesome. and a medium dot is coo too.

would be nice to have a really skinny +...always wanted one :(

make one for dave, the crosshair should just be "MGE"

what boomer said

Here are all the crosshairs done up till now:

It's all part of the same font, and with a bit of tweaking should be ready tomorrow.

i did the same thing a while ago. Made a custom font for the (+) crosshair. But the + always ends up being the best :X

can you do a green + with a purple outline, or http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9799/quake1.png with the middle dot being green and the rest being purple? It's been bugging me because I was never able to achieve these as hud crosshairs and make them centered. Thanks in advanced.

Also, can you remake the default class crosshairs in hud format?

And this:

fog 2strong

Can you make two seperate ones for the ( + ) so you can make the ( ) a different color than the +? and also maybe make it so the ( ) are a bit thicker (as an extra font of course)?

i've made the deafault soldier/heavy crosshair neo if you want them

Also I'm open to collaboration with other people, sharing is caring.

can you go ahead and upload the font file?

i'd love to mess with it.

you can already do this on the scout, just install gmang/garm3n's "+" crosshair and use the default scout (.) crosshair. The + will overlap the ".", but leave the ().

default scout xhair

I know but I'd rather have it be a custom xhair from the font so that it is all centered correctly and shit.

What about something like this for the grenade launcher (the dot would be at the center of the screen).

If it works the same as the mix-and-match xhair thingy then can you please put in separate parts of a disjointed cross? I've always wanted to have the left, bottom, and right sections of the cross red with a black dot in the middle, and then a white top section.

Alright guys, just got home. Here is the font file as of 5/26/12 5:30pm EST

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21833101/crosshairs.ttf

Here are the crosshairs contained in this font and their corresponding text value:

Place the font in tf/resource folder and stick the following in ClientScheme.res inside CustomFontFiles (should be at the bottom):

"8"
{
"font" "resource/crosshairs.ttf"
"name" "Crosshairs"
}

It will look something like this. The number should be changed to a number not being used. You'll also have to create individual fonts inside ClientScheme.res, here is an example:

"xHairSpread"
{
"1"
{
"name" "Crosshairs"
"tall" "28"
"weight" "0"
"antialias" "1"
}
}

And inside HudLayout.res (inside tf/script) here is an example of what you will put in it:

xHairSpread
{
"controlName" "CExLabel"
"fieldName" "xHairSpread"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"zpos" "2"

"xpos" "c-100"
"ypos" "c-100"
"wide" "202"
"tall" "198"

"font" "xHairSpread"
"labelText" "0"
"textAlignment" "center"

"fgcolor" "255 255 255 192"
}

I'm not going to go into full tutorial mode at this point, just showing examples of what it should look like.

Tried using crosshair # 1 but if I try using "outline" 1 then the outline comes out odd because the edges of the crosshair aren't definite, the're slightly transparent pixels surrounding it. Only the top edge is correct.

If those were removed the outline would work fine.

woops

"antialias" "0"
