Different Crosshairs

[InsomniaSNake]

I saw this in a cheat menu once, only I deleted it a long time ago but now I want to use it it's gone.

It had the ability to change crosshair, in game you had a menu where you could choose your crosshair and it changed immediatly... Anyone got an idea how they did this?

Probably they changed the crosshair urc to get the shader from a cvar.

You can turn the crosshair off and show a menu or should I say a hud item that is the crosshair you want . My bro and I even had a popup menu to select what one you wanted .

Works like this turn off the crosshair and turn show the hud item , the example below was part of a larger menu . ui crosshair 0 turns off the crosshair . Make the tga of the crosshair with an alpha channel so it is transparent and make it 32 x 32 . popmenu 0 removed our menu after you selected your crosshair .

here is part of the crosshair menu

Wow Really Impressive work, sounds complicated but I am willing to try it out. Thanks a lot, hope it works.

If that's the only method to do so then there is no way you can make a bloodpatch go on and off can there?

[omniscient]

sure you can. all you would have to do is make a toggle. say for instance your bloodpatch was blood.pk3. so with the toggle change it to blood1.pk3. if blood1.pk3 doesnt exist then your set.
