If you believe your nerd stars are the reason you shitpost here, you are wrong
If you believe removing them will stop you from shitposting or caring, you are wrong

If you're requesting this because you regret your internet presence on this website then there are more important issues you're facing that won't go away with your nerd stars. Get those issues sorted out first. This solves nothing. You'll just use this an excuse to ignore the issues.

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)

edit: size comparison between Crosshair7, brackets, brackets_fix and default_fix https://imgur.com/a/x5cx6d2

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

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

edit: before and after in case anyone's wondering https://imgur.com/a/JKMWvBg

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

you'll probably get some games (you can sit in community servers and such during queue)
main issue is it forces your game to run on high settings that are very rough on most PCs

generally wouldn't recommend, but if you have like 2 friends that want to try it too, just join a party and do your own things in community servers until you find a game. a 3 stack should carry most games

Changes to weapon txt files (and VMT files?) require a restart

Changes to the VTFs can be reloaded with "mat_reloadmaterial thumbnails", though it only updates the image, not the VTF flags attached to the image (it will keep the ones from the VTF you had loaded before). Updating VTF flags requires a restart afaik
edit: after some experimentation I've come to the conclusion it should also update VTF flags

Requires sv_cheats 1. if you're playing TF2 and you're like "oh wow this one SUCKS I want to change it" just go in an offline server (or stay on the main menu), sv_cheats 1, replace the VTF with the one you want by removing the current one and renaming another, "mat_reloadmaterial thumbnails"
(example: crosshair1.vtf sucks. rename crosshair1 to crosshair1_old, rename CoolNewCrosshair.vtf to crosshair1.vtf, mat_reloadmaterial thumbnails)
