btw @ᴄɪᴛʀᴜꜱɪꜱ i managed to figure it out. changing the resolution was as simple as upscaling the original melee crosshair vtf and following the proper positioning it has.

When I try to use the crosshair in versus mode, the new melee and stamina recharge icons appear, but the pointer doesn't. Can anyone help me? 🙏😭

ah yeah, im aware of the server thing. to me its still worth it so i guess ill have to experiment further, if i find a better way ill get back to you

@kouga Nice work bro, but it doesn't work for me after several tries. And i'm afraid editing these scripts wont work on server either even if it would work. Since many servers have changed them too.

i could still be wrong, but feel free to experiment

@ᴄɪᴛʀᴜꜱɪꜱ, i think i now have a hunch how to change the crosshair positions and scale. it requires manually changing the weapon scripts (weapon_adrenaline.txt, weapon_pistol.txt, etc)
there is a field in those scripts that say:

"crosshair"
{
"file" "sprites/crosshairs"
"x" "0"
"y" "48"
"width" "24"
"height" "24"
}

xy params dictate coordinates, width and height dictate the crop. changing the file param is also possible. i only recently discovered this method because i wanted to make my pistols show the ammo icon (because i made them move to the primary gun slot)

Best crosshair ever!

请问大佬能制作一个半径大1-2像素的原点准星吗？非常喜欢这款Mod，但是混战中绿色小圆点总是看不清。

@ᴄɪᴛʀᴜꜱɪꜱ
i believe in you! also, not being able to scale is sad news 😣 but its alright

@kouga Just...give a few more tries. Im afraid that the crosshair location in this image is hard-coded in the game. So my solution is to keep trying until they meet the center place.
And, if you want to scale the image to have a bertter clarity. I've tried it but failed.

@ᴄɪᴛʀᴜꜱɪꜱ ah yes i understand. but how specifically does the game know which coordinate of the vtf to use? the crosshairs resolution is way smaller than the custom crosshair i created, so i will have to resize the file in order to fit my creation there. but im afraid if i try so that it will cause an error or fail to capture the right icon. that is what i meant with my initial question

thank you!

@kouga The crosshairs of infected and melees are in "materials\sprites\crosshairs.vtf"
btw I delected other crosshairs in this file cause I didn't find anywhere they are used

hey there @ᴄɪᴛʀᴜꜱɪꜱ ! I was wondering how exactly you managed to make the crosshairs change when using melee and being infected? i took a look at the files to try and make my own, but i dont think i understood which file exactly is making the crosshairs change. could you help me out?

good

very good

有了這個雷射瞄準器變多餘

因为有的mod准星支持就是歪的，你可以试着去itempickup.res里找到defaultweapon那栏然后自己改

作者，为啥我用的时候准星是歪的

Im afraid there isn't

The disappointing thing is that even after I've died, this crosshair still appears. Is there no way to prevent the crosshair from showing up when I'm dead?

Thanks author. Looking forward to the release of Polymorphic HUD.

Glad you solved the problem

I looked into the files, the mod has its own defautweapon.vtf file, so I just unpacked the mod and deleted the file, and now both addons work together.

i checked the problem. the mod just fails to work in conjunction with this addon: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2974030821

im using default hud and even other huds even if i have custom crosshair support

currently testing the mod but its showing missing textures.

respect for using the game's crosshair.vtf as the background XD, also, I like your other add-ons, they're cute.

Well, all you need to do is download GCFScape, unpack this VPK, then separate the files, then use Left 4 Dead 2 Authoring Tools and use the vpk.exe to turn the separated file into a VPK, then just put it in your addons.

you're assuming that i'm able to mod this game XD

Uh..no. You can separate it yourself

would it be possible to have each of them uploaded separately?

yeah of course

Looks awesome. Are you planning on making a Polymorphic HUD and UI for Survivors and Infected to go along with this Crosshair?
