Changing Crosshairs

Hey all, just a quick question.
I am currently using chris's highframes config and I would like to change my crosshair to the normal, default tf2 crosshair (the scout one like ( . ) and the medic one like the medic symbol). How do I go about making this change in my config?

Thanks!!

P.S. I'm not too code/computer savvy.

try:

cl_crosshair_file default
cl_crosshair_file ""

for the ( - ) and the + respectively

if you mean the + on the medi gun only:
open your medic.cfg file in your /tf/cfg folder and type

alias medi "slot2; cl_crosshair_file """
bind 2 medi

and then go to every other class.cfg file and type:

bind 2 "slot2; cl_crosshair_file default"
try:

[code]cl_crosshair_file default
cl_crosshair_file ""[/code]

for the ( - ) and the + respectively

open your medic.cfg file in your /tf/cfg folder and type

[code]alias medi "slot2; cl_crosshair_file """
bind 2 medi[/code]

and then go to every other class.cfg file and type:

[code]bind 2 "slot2; cl_crosshair_file default"[/code]

Are the cl_ commands to be put in my autoexec file and does that overwrite all the other stuff in my other crosshair files? I'll try doing the + on the medigun thingy :)

you can put it in your autoexec if you want. I'm not sure what your 'crosshair files' are though.

what the autoexec.cfg file does is executes all the commands in that file on startup. So yes, it'll wipe certain things if you put it in your autoexec.cfg but if you put things in your class.cfg files those files execute every command in their respective files when you choose a certain class. Did I explain that properly? probably not :/

Unfortunately,

shlaner
alias medi "slot2; cl_crosshair_file """
bind 2 medi

won't work because of the nested quotation marks.

You'll have to create a new cfg file and call it something like xhair.cfg. In it, only put

cl_crosshair_file ""

and for whatever class you want that crosshair type

exec xhair.cfg

so for your example it would be

alias medi "slot2; exec xhair.cfg"
bind 2 medi

It's kinda a hassle but it is the only thing that works.
