Porting this over from the dying NATF2 forums.

So being the bored person that I am, I decided to start working on a custom font specifically made for crosshairs.

VERSION 2.0 RELEASED: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21833101/Fog%27s%20Custom%20HUD%20Crosshairs%20v2.0.zip

README:

Fog's Custom HUD Crosshairs (Version 2.0)
- Crosshairs h, i, j, and k provided by MR JOHNSON
- Crosshairs n, o, p, and q origignally created by SizzlingCalamari
- Check out my SOAP DM server at dm.mediocrity.ca:27015
- Check out my Ammodmod Server at ammomod.mediocrity.ca:27015

Place the font in tf/resource folder and stick the following in ClientScheme.res inside CustomFontFiles (should be at the bottom):

"8" // replace with number not being used
{
"font" "resource/crosshairs.ttf"
"name" "Crosshairs"
}

It will look something like this. The number should be changed to a number not being used. You'll also have to create individual fonts inside ClientScheme.res, here is an example:

"xHairSpread"
{
"1"
{
"name" "Crosshairs"
"tall" "28"
"weight" "0"
"antialias" "1"
}
}

And inside HudLayout.res (inside tf/scripts) here is an example of what you will put in it:

xHairSpread
{
"controlName" "CExLabel"
"fieldName" "xHairSpread"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"zpos" "2"

"xpos" "c-100"
"ypos" "c-100"
"wide" "202"
"tall" "198"

"font" "xHairSpread"
"labelText" "0"
"textAlignment" "center"

"fgcolor" "255 255 255 192"
}

Replace labelText with the corresponding number/letter for the crosshair that you want. You'll have to most likely change around xpos, ypos, wide and tall to your liking.

Hey could you or someone make a easy file to just add them in-game so that it's in the list with all the rest of default crosshairs? it's quite frustrating for me because it takes forever to restart tf2 and get onto a server in order to try them out one at a time

type hud_reloadscheme in console after you save your hudlayout.res . It will load any changes that were made to your hud.

Is there anyway to incorporate this with the default tf2 hud? The default hud is just my personal preference.

Seeing how this HUD requires commands in ClientScheme.res and hudlayout.res, I need to be able to access TF2's default HUD files, but I can't find them anywhere post-Steampipe(possibly a .GCF?).

In addition, I tried installing the crosshair by itself without a HUD, just with commands, hoping that the files would cooperate with the default HUD. Unfortunately, the crosshair commands just overrides the default hud, breaking it.

Other than that, I didn't want to try to find a ClientScheme or hudlayout from a custom HUD similar to the default HUD, but if that's the only way, so be it.

A reply would be greatly appreciated. :D

Well iirc if any hud file is missing an element it automatically puts in the default. So you could just install the font in clientscheme and then put the crosshairs alone in hudlayout.res by itself and everything should stay default.

Before steampipe, it restored missing elements. I remembering it only restoring whole files, not missing commands(not positive).

Now with steampipe, I have to install these crosshairs within the custom folder. The engine doesn't restore "commands" that seems to be missing in that custom folder, because it believes it was the user's preference to keep those "commands" missing, hence "custom".

I couldn't understand what you meant but I believe you were saying that I should just install the crosshair font by itself, along with the commands that exec the crosshair within ClientScheme and hudlayout, and upon TF2 launch it will restore any missing commands and elements, forming a complete default resource and scripts along with the custom crosshairs.

If so, I tried that, as stated in my previous post and sadly it didn't work. The default HUD was overriden by the missing commands and just broke. Thanks for helping though. In case I misinterpreted your post, please reply back. :D

Hm didn't know they changed that. You can use gcfscape to extract the default hud files but I havn't needed to so I don't know where you'd do that.

Apparently the default HUD is packed into a .vpk - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\tf2_misc_dir.vpk - Used GCFScape to open it or I just dragged it onto vpk.exe in the "bin" folder via "Team Fortress 2" directory to retrieve the files. Was able to pull out a stock ClientScheme.res and hudlayout.res. Thanks for the help Benroads! :D
