Detailed description

onto's round crosshairs
Release date: Nov 14, 2009
Version: 0.1

===

This crosshair package was created by the user onto on www.quadropolis.us for free use in the game sauerbraten. You may use, modify and release the crosshairs as you wish, just give me credit.

There are 6 different cross hairs with two variations (30% transparency, full transparency in the circle) and a hit and teammate crosshair (alltogether 14 crosshairs).

I created these crosshairs as I was not satisfied with the current ones. Particularly I wanted clean and round crosshairs that would remain visible on all surfaces and would be fine for shooting and sniping. I also wanted a better kill feedback at small crosshair sizes hence the red color for the 'hit' crosshair. These crosshairs were inspired by the dual crosshairs by PrimeEvil.

These crosshairs work best with crosshair sizes between 4 and 10. Set your crosshair size with /crosshairsize 1-50.

===

Installation:
1. Go to the folder in your Sauerbraten directory where the crosshairs are located (usually in .../data or .../data/crosshairs if you use a script to change the crosshairs).
2. Select the crosshair you would like to use.
3. Rename the crosshair to crosshair.png, the hit crosshair to hit.png and the teammate crosshair to teammate.png
4. Make a backup of the existing crosshairs
5. Replace the existing crosshairs with the new ones
6. Enjoy!

WARNING: These crosshairs will dramatically increase your accurary in game.

Edit: Fixed licensing issues.

Hi all, I appreciate comments on how to improve these crosshairs. I'll release the "source" PSD file sometime in the future so that you can also mod them.

You're right, thanks for your notice. I chose a more fitting license.

Any comments as to how well the crosshairs are in game?

i was exspecting it to be good in game, but it really just makes it harder to hit them. it blocks off the enemy too much.

make the center of the target see through (alpha channel to white).

I can't see when I put it to a fair size, and all the fancies are taken away when it's small. Maybe make it so that the black center is 100% transparent?
