Crosshair colour?

[Mr.Bios]

I downloaded a frag movie called numbar2 and the guy in it has a really cool crosshair. Like a light bright blue kinda colour. I found ch_crosshaircolor and its set to "white" but I cant seem to chenge it to any other colour. Can anyone tell me how is this done

Thanks.

i always thought its "cg_crosshaircolor" then a number 1-9

if not then its what you said but instead of white put the quake 3 color equivilant

1 = Red
2 = Green

so on..

[bork[e]]

wth... /cg_crosshaircolor isn't a command?

wtf are you on?

its an osp feature, and you had the right command before bork.
ch_crosshaircolor 0xRRGGBB
where RRGGBB are Red Green Blue values in hex... just like web colors
like:
ch_crosshaircolor 0x88FF88
would give you a pale green.

but you have to turn off crosshair health.
so set cg_crosshairhealth 0

but... my crosshair is green in vanilla q3

[^misantropia^]

There's no cg_crosshaircolor in VQ3. Maybe a replacement texture/shader?

[bork[e]]

hahaha, I was getting all happy.

The way my gama and everything is setup it's a bitch to see in areas with that concrete or white colored textures in most areas...

But if I go in and tamper with the pk3 where the crosshairs are stored and alter them, will PB tell me to fuck off?

[^misantropia^]

Put the altered crosshairs in their own pk3.

[bork[e]]

how do I access them in game? Or do I need to just try it...maybe you could provide a link to a good source and save me the trouble of finding one... that is if you know of one.

Yes, if you mess around with the default PK3s Punkbuster will view them as corrupt.

The crosshairs are stored as /gfx/2d/crosshair[a-j].tga in pak0.pk3. Create your own (or base them on the existing ones), save them to baseq3/gfx/2d/crosshair[a-j].tga, zip the gfx dir and rename it to pk3. You might need to set sv_pure to zero (the algorithm Q3A uses to check if your client is pure, is kind of borked)(no pun intended).

[Mr.Bios]

Cool. Thanks for the info, works a treat:) I was actually thinking along the same lines as Bacon and was gonna try that before I read the posts here. Thanks Dr.

Now on the subject of colours how do I change my rail colour in osp? Its permently an orange kinda colour

[^misantropia^]

Set color1 to 1-7. Same goes for color2 if you have cg_oldrail set to 1.

[Mr.Bios]

I put both color1 and color 2 to "7". One changed the enemy (bots) rail to white but neither changed my rail to white. I also tried changing oldrail but it had no affect either.

Only rail trail your going to change is your own..

at least to my knowledge

[bob1234]

Check the osp-q3-ClientReadme.txt for detailed information on client-side support, variables and options
under OSP.

That's because 7 isn't white for rail color in OSP. Use either "0", "y", or "z". Bots always have white rail by default in OSP. I'm not even sure if you can change bot rail color.

When you play other human players you can see thier rail colors, just not thier rail style (r_railwidth, r_railcorewidth, r_railsegmentlength, cg_railtrailtime), those will appear however you have them set on.

[Cooldown]

seta color "y"
seta color1 "yyyy"
seta color2 "y"
seta cg_teamRails "2"
seta cg_enemyColors "iiii"

White teammates+rail trail
Green enemies

[Mr.Bios]

Ahh cool it works now. Thanks for the help.
