I'm not sure about pak structure etc.. but you can't use modified pk3 files for ql online play anyway, I guess you'd either need to write them as /ui/ hud text file as seen in other examples on here, or bug syncerror about adding more crosshairs

i know, but if its not replacing anything, just adding, where there's placeholders, wouldn't it work? e.g putting them like baseq3/gfx/2d/crosshair.png ? or is that still considered unpure?

Did you manage to work it out ?

nope, not doable apparently.. seems like im one of the few who don't like high-res black bordered crosshairs.

You're not the only one. Just everyone else gave up begging for them to be put back in a while ago.

oh :/

You can't use assets which aren't from QL itself, and that includes your TGAs and PNGs.

Even custom HUDs are an exploit which were just, err, embraced - The game is really only supposed to load ui/hudfiles hudname.txt, and making your own .txt file didn't work.. Just happened that they didn't block loading .cfg files to do the same job, and here we are.

did huds ever work in Q3A games?

yes

ye, ql huds is much like cpma's huds iirc, maybe way more refined, but the concept was iirc conceived by arqon.

Can't understand why people want the old blurry crosshairs but whatever.

Same ...... , BUUUUUUUT the old blury crosshairs scaled better with odd res setups that the new ones with black borders, then again that can be fixed by just letting us fuck with the hud res ourselves......

you can make almost any custom cross in the HUD, it's just time consuming. if you want just a cross or a dot without borders that's really easy.

ye, but i don't see how i would make the same sort of blurry crosshair, or am i misunderstanding something about the hud system? could you employ the same kind of soft scaling?

EmSixTeen made a q3 crosshair 3 (open cross xhair) that at least a few people modified to their own resolutions.

There was a bigger thread about it, but can't remember and search here is poop. Found this one though:

ye, looks like the q3 one, im using 8 unfortunately

if the outer line is larger than 3 pixels you can just set a 1 pixel line that extends the edge of the 3 pixel, then adding a 3 pixel shadow over the 1 pixel line.

i think for recreating 8 without the black shado, all you'd have to do is adding a outer line thats 1 pixel shorter than the inner then put a slightly transparent pixel in the corners =)

unless you're looking to keep it as it and only removing the black lines. makes it hella simpler
