[RELEASE] JAvEX Crosshair HUD

[J]

JAvEX Crosshair HUD.........VAC2 PROOF!...

Crosshair HUD, what?
Lately I've seen a few posts asking about crosshairs and whatnot, so I just decided to release my custom crosshair hud. I got the idea to use the hud for a crosshair a while back when someone suggested to use the radar as a crosshair. Using the radar for a crosshair wasn't very good unless I reskinned it, but then the radar wouldn't be as easy to follow. So I thought why not just reposition my health icon and use it as a crosshair. I made the icons font size really small and it was still two big, so I changed the font a bit so I could have a DOT like the reddot hack for my crosshair.

Took a bit of work just testing and whatnot and all of a sudden I had a real nice crosshair. I put the health and the armor right beside it so I could easily see it all the time. Anyway its not hard to do, so if you don't like the way I've made it, go ahead and do it yourself!

Information
-There are two numbers beside the crosshair, the top number is your health, and the bottom number is your armor.
-Nothing is transparent anymore because I didn't want the crosshair to be transparent, and unfortunately there is one setting for everything.
-When your heath is low it will pulse orange and red.
-The timer is in the bottom left.
-ALL the icons are small because just like with transparency, there is only one setting, and I needed to make the dot nice and small.
-The HUD is green, so the crosshair(DOT) is also green.

SUMMARY: What is this hack?
Technically, this isn't a hack. It is just a custom HUD with a
green dot for the crosshair. The HEALTH is right beside it, and
the ARMOR is right below the HEALTH...
+++The best part about this is that the green DOT does NOT flash continuously like with the reddot hack, and it has no effect on FPS, if anything it gives you better FPS.

To install:
1. Copy the cstrike folder into your Counter Strike: Source folder.
2. Then copy the font file into your Windows font folder.
- BOTH steps above are NEEDED for the hack to work properly.
3. In your console type: crosshair 0 to get rid of the normal crosshair. Although I suggest leaving it at 1 at first to insure that it is centered.

How can I edit or change the hack?
Here is a tutorial for editing your HUD:

If when you install the hack, you notice that the crosshair is something like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e_port0000.jpg

You will need to change the xpos and the ypos of the armor to fix it. Look at the tutorial above if you need help doing it.

Don't like the way the HUD looks, you can edit it to suite your preferences. Just use the tutorial above. But keep in mind there are a lot of limitations. Here is two screenshots showing different ones:

HINT: To change the crosshair you have to edit the font.

If you need help, read the readme that is included with the hack. If your problem isn't answered. Ask for help here...

Nice contribution JAvEX. That is really quite clever.

Nice, JAvEX. I made something similar like this but mine sucked.

Well, I'm gonna stick to my xhair script, though.

Nice to see people contributing by releasing things, even if it's simple and not some huge multihack.

Awsome work! works great! I love it! your a genius!

[xohdee]

sweet man, im going to try it out right now.

[J]

Thanks for the comments guys. I use this with a trigger bot and I own big time. It really helps me to aim.

@Holz. You just have to edit the cstrike font to make the crosshair itself, its just a character from a font. I think I might try to make a crosshair like this one but with a big circle around it. But I'm a bit too busy right now, so I'll probably only be able to get around to it after new years... Unless someone else gets bored and wants to do it themselves...

[Lisa]

What I did was editing the radar image and it's position... wasn't that great, though.

[J]

@Holz. Yeah that was what I was planning on doing a while back, but then I figured it would suck, so I tried using the health icon and it was great, but the crosshair turned red when I had low heath, so I used the armor icon instead for this and it turned out great! Then I made it so that the health will pulse (flash red and orange) when you get low health, and its awesome.

Not bad!

I want to try this.

nice work JAVEX but only want the green dot and teh rest original.can u fix this..or make a tut so i can do it myself?

[J]

@BaDazz. Yes you can do that, the health icon and the health can be changed to a different color, but everything else must remain the same color as whatever you set it at. All number sizes must be the same, there are actually a lot of restrictions, and I made it look pretty good I think. Wait, give me a minute or so, I'll go get you a tutorial...

[Lisa]

Just take a look at the HudLayout.res, as you can see it's pretty easy to change the positions etc...

So I think you should be able to move the health and the armor to wherever you want, I guess to the original position, which should be the one behind the // in JAvEX' hudlayout.


Example:

	HudHealth
	{
		"fieldName"		"HudHealth"
		"xpos"	"319"// "xpos"	"16"
		"ypos"	"245"// "ypos"	"443"
		"wide"	"640"
		"tall"	"480"
		"visible" "1"
		"enabled" "1"

		"PaintBackgroundType"	"2"
		
		"icon_xpos"	"0"
		"icon_ypos"	"0"
		"digit_xpos" "30" // "digit_xpos" "33"
		"digit_ypos" "-5"  // "digit_ypos" "0"

		"LowHealthColor"	"HudMinHealthColor"
	}

Edit: The download works fine here...

@BaDaZZ. I found a pretty good tutorial for you and anyone else who wants to fuNk around. Here you go:

@Tester. I'll email it to you as soon as I get a bit of free time, probably in 15 minutes, but don't count on it. lol

@Holz. Yeah, I am pretty sure that those are the default positions after the //. But I dont remember that well, lol. The best way to make sure is to check the default ones from the GCFs, just use GCFScape. Oh and Tester is probably download on a public computer or at a university, somewhere that blocks ihud, or the download itself...
