No different from how you add them to previous versions, but I wanted to assure you that these instructions still work.

 

Open in Notepad, the following file:

 

SIERRAHalf-Lifefirearmsspritesweapon_knife.txt

 

for 2.7 the file looks like the following:

 

4weapon 320 320hud01 0 0 80 20weapon_s 320 320hud01 0 20 80 20weapon 640 640hud01 0 0 170 45weapon_s 640 640hud01_2 0 0 170 45Here is my file:

4weapon      320 320hud01	0	0    80  20weapon_s    320 320hud01	0	20   80  20crosshair   320 crosshairs 48  120  24  24weapon      640 640hud01	0   0   170  45weapon_s    640 640hud01_2 0	0   170  45crosshair   640 crosshairs 48  120  24  24

I added a to my crosshairs file that it uses.... if you just cut and paste mine, you will still not have crosshairs. Unfortunately, I do not have a site to host pictures, so you will have to be content with my ASCII graphics:

 

crosshair <screensize> <filename> <X> <Y> <dx> <dy>

<screensize> = screen ratio... we can see from above that we need to add entries for 320 and 640<filename> = obviously, this is the .spr file that contains the crosshair

 

<X> and <Y> = the beginning co-ordinates of the crosshair (in pixels)

 

<dx> and <dy>= the width (x) and length of the crosshairs

 

How does this work for you? well lets take an example:

 

suppose you want to use the crosshair used for the MP5... this is the first crosshair in the crosshairs.spr file by default... which looks like this if you open it in a sprite viewer:

 

X + O

 

: * =

 

@ ! "

 

x U ^

 

| * ()

 

A B

 

Realize that each character above represents a different crosshair in that file. The MP5A5 uses the 'X' I have listed above (trust me). Looking at that file, the 'X' starts at 0,0 and goes to 24,24. Therefore we would add to lines to the file:

 

crosshair 320 crosshairs 0 0 24 24

 

crosshair 640 crosshairs 0 0 24 24

 

Hopefully this gets you going on adding your own knife crosshairs.

Why didnt you just say add crosshair 640 crosshairs 48 120 24 24to lines 3 & 6?

why do we want a crosshair on the knife? :roll:

I tryed that but it still doesn't work. I made my file look exactly like yours. I have no knife crosshair and get weird HUD pics when I choose the knife. What am I doing wrong?

Because you won't get a crosshair!!! read more carefully... :-PB-CellP.S. Slovike... because I still like to know where the center of my screen it at.

Can you make all that into a simple...downloadable file?

B-Cell, I'm still confused. LOL Can you make it more simple to understand? I can't get it to work.

Gudge:

 

I realized that I forgot 1 thing about the weapon_knife file:

 

When you open it up, there is a number on the first line... this tells H-L how many lines are in the file that it should read... so, since we are changing the number of lines to read, we need to change that number to match...

 

Change 4 to 6 in that file Gudge and the funky icons will disappear and you will have your crosshair.

 

Hero:

 

Yes, I will create an install file and give it to Gator to post on the website... give me a few days.
