Custom crosshairs compiled

[crucci]

Just finished making a new crosshair. I like it very much. The idea is to just divide the screen in four sections, hopefully making it easier for your brain to determine exactly the horizontal and vertical distances, and thus what kind of hand movement is needed to move the crosshair from A to B. The crosshair has both black and white lines so it's discernible in any lighting (thanks Essobie). I also included tick marks at quarter width and height. In the middle you can have a normal crosshair or a custom one.

I'm not sure it will work properly with any other resolution than 1680x1050, but you can try it. The reason is that the lines are supposed to be exactly 2px wide, 1px being black, 1px white.

Fullscreen crosshair

full size image. (The crosshair in the middle is just a regular cg_drawcrosshair 2, with the custom horizontal and vertical lines underneath it).

I'm going to try that one out. What are the point of the tick marks though?

[crucci]

Not really sure.

Recently put this together, its built for 16x10 wide-screen. This is the closest thing I could get to a solid circle dot:

I assume you'd have to change the backcolor values in the section // border 2 into something else (the numbers are in order R G B A, values from 0 to 1)

Because namad's Visual HUD is working, this thread will be very useful
