If you have Photoshop you can simply make your crosshair, save it as tga with transparency and then convert it into vtf.

What kind of centering should I make for the image?
The center depends on your game resolution. If you use photoshop to make your crosshair you can just sue the ruler tool (ctrl+r) and make to crossing lines to determine the center. For example at regular fullhd you would put those lines at 960 and 540. if you want to save time and be precise, simply draw one half of your crosshair and then mirror it so both sides will be the same amount of pixels away from the center.
Thank you.

the301stspartanshifty1gwould it be possible to change damage numbers this way?
Not really. What you are doing here is just creating a permanent "overlay" over your HUD.
I guess you might be able to use images for damage numbers in general but that would be something different and is probably rather pointless since numbers are actual characters and you can simply change the font.
You could enable and deable it with the damage done thing, but that would be a headache and wouldn't make much sense, esp since the numbers are always different, unlike the constantness of the crosshair

the301stspartanI think this sentence is implying that it should not work with sv_pure in the present as well and that something is wrong because it does.
Is it just me or am I derailing my own thread with an idiotic discussion about semantics?
Yes, yes, and yes. I specifically said that it seems like a bug that this works; that has nothing to do with whether or not it actually does in fact work or not. You were way too defensive about that.
Rainbow damage numbers are theoretically possible with several custom fonts that have sliced copies of the numbers.

No, all I was asking you was, since you say it seems to be a bug, whether or not the aformentioned new HUDs which utilize the same files, have been working before.
I'm not defending anything, it's obvious that this is working right now and honestly that's all I can say. No idea what sv_pure would have done to it earlier or will do in the future.

This is pre-steampipe, as evidenced by the gcf references (EDIT: and date).
image - the path and name of the image used in the control. The path is relative to the tf/materials/vgui folder. I strongly advise you not to use custom images on the in-game hud as sv_pure servers will disable them (sv_pure is a server setting that disables custom content, used as a preventative measure to cheating).

Say, Spartan, do you have a .PSD of your Konr wings?

Sorry, I didn't even save it because it was so simple. I made the white wings by installing the Garm3nFont and writing Z, then rasterized the text layer and centered it.
Then I made it rainbow using another layer.
But here is the original png file of it if you can use that.

A protip to all photoshoppers: Make sure to save all files uncompressed because at the small size of the crosshair compression could change its apprearance.

Could you make a rainbow crosshair for the crosshair normal in hudas iscorate? Everytime I try it parts of it get cut off.

If you can replicate the crosshair in photoshop you can make it rainbow.
Post a pic of it, or even better find the font that hudas uses to simulate it.
Or, if it actually uses a picture for the crosshair, just post that and I'll make it rainbow for you.

There seems to be something bit wonky happening in either conversion or drawing the overlay.
Okay, i got it working with bit of tinkering.

Why is everyone freaking about about the possibility do add images as crosshairs now? Iirc there is a thread on ozfortress about that for like a month now.

game crosshair + hud outline + broesel crosshair switcher > hud crosshair.
The thing is, game crosshairs aren't centred properly if I recall correctly. So you can use a "thick" outline to fix that and only expose a centred portion of the game crosshair.

My name everywhere is weird, but cool. Awesome that we can use images now, I hope it doesn't go away. I don't wanna put effort into making stuff with images instead and then be told it was an accident by valve that will be fixed in a patch or so :D Also does anyone want these crosshairs: http://imgur.com/a/WBMd2 ? I remade the wings with a built in dot in just one character and a few others.

konrmore awesome crosshairs
Yes. I'd love them.
Also, would someone be able/willing to make me a image crosshair version of konr wings with the default circle crosshair? I have a mac and the alignment issues prevalent in the way macs read fonts and the way macs align tf2 stuff and my tiny laptop resolution have made it hard for me to line them up (for about 4 months now lol).
EDIT: Or, even better but extremely unlikely, is there a photo editor similar to photoshop I could get free or even cheap? It just needs to be basic enough for me to construct cool crosshairs.

Could someone make the Konr wings smaller? (so they fit to Cl_crosshair_file "" and cl_crosshair_scale 26 in 1920x1080)

change the scaleImage value in your hudlayout file to something like 0.5.
you'll also have to fiddle around with the xpos and ypos values to get it back into the centre
