it's just kinda shit. If you extract this file from the game files and open it it's actually been made at such low quality that the white has become a greyish green in places. Most of the crosshairs are actually like this but this crosshair is without a doubt the worst of them all. My guess is this is the first crosshair they made and something went wrong when they made the other crosshairs at a later date

I can probably clean it up a bit for you so you can use it with a VTF pack. Will post a download link later

I just turned up the color level until everything was fully white. Looked fine when i tested it in-game

If you're unfamiliar with VTF crosshairs just send me a PM and I'll turn it into a crosshair pack for you

what do i do with the vtf thing

I'll skip the tutorial and just give you this https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9mgi7dllg6e94ku/AAA1h2o4hRGGlNlHnfcoxx2Ra?dl=0

put the map in custom, start TF2, then use cl_crosshair_file ""

Make sure you're not already using a VTF crosshair pack (from cfg.tf for example). Also if you use the no explosion smoke script (smaller explosions) remove it because this does the same.If you have both at once then weapons like grenade launcher/rocket launcher/etc will have their default crosshair instead

tl;dr for how this works: we change the weapon.txt files and trick it into using a folder that bypasses sv_pure to use our own images instead of the None crosshair (cl_crosshair_file "" in console). We also use the same files to make the game use a different explosion particle for weapons like rockets, pipes and stickies

Thanks for this, is there a way to make the vtf crosshair scale to my in-game size? My cl_crosshair_scale is 38 and it makes the vtf crosshair huge, lowering it would make the other crosshairs without the weapon script smaller. I only want to use this for weapons that use the default wings crosshair. If that is not possible how could I lower down the size of the vtf crosshair?

Use this VTF file instead https://www.dropbox.com/s/zmdinouo125duem/brackets_fix.vtf?dl=0
It's the None crosshair used for the scattergun/pistol/etc. it's smaller than Default but needed to be touched up a bit because it also has the ugly grey color thing going on. Did not test in-game before uploading but should be fine

Basically your options if you want to stick with the version of Default (and not Brackets_fix) would be:

• make a crosshair switcher script that changes the values of cl_crosshair_scale depending on the weapon (inefficient imo because it clutters your cfg and spamming commands can get you kicked from valve servers these days)
  
• Learn how to edit VTF files so you can resize the files themselves (takes a couple hours to figure out)
