different crosshairs never worked for me, + on everything ftw

+ with crosshairsize 75 = win

75? That sounds pretty big, think I use 28 and 38.

Can be good on 640 and 800, it widens the crosshair more than making in longer. I used that for lg for some time

Yes, works good on 640 =)

(+)

custom size 39 circle, default QL size 38 +, only + blinking when hitting.

cg_crosshaircolor 25
cg_fov 100
cg_forceenemymodel "tankjr/bright"
r_texturemode "gl_linear_mipmap_nearest"



for RL i just use default QL +, size 38

The hypothesis that the croshair shape and size can influence the accuracy has never been really proven. There have been theories about it, which could be just placebos.

The variety of cfg at pro level seem to suggest there is no influential impact, i.e. the little benefits crosshairs give are canceled out by other more relevant things.

AFAIK, the only valid point is that Crosshair shapes can be a good way to visualize the current weapon if drawgun is off.

ye i agree, but finding a crosshair u like is still better than having a crosshair u dislike!! :PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

What's your opinion on hit colour change?

This is as well in the range of speculation. I personally don't have an opinion regarding "getting distracted by flashing/poulsing crosshair". I think most of the pros I've seen play with fix crosshairs, especially for shaft, mg, pg.

Gameplay-wise, I would distinguish the single color vs the damage-based color. The first one just strengthen the hitbeep, and at least it is a spectator friendly feature.

Unless I missed the update, you cannot have damage-base hitbeep tone as in CPMA, right? If that is the case, then the damage-based coloring gives you the additional hint on the amount of damage you did, and this may be useful for spam rockets/nades that explode out of your sight.

yup, you missed the update

however, i never played cmpa, so dunno how it was made :-) but u can set hitsounds to be different based on dmg u dealt

Good, then the question is whether strengthening the sound hint is worth adding the visual distraction. I guess it's very subjective.

I use this (crosshair flashing by damage, that is), and it isn't really distracting at all. Its incredibly useful for knowing when that no-look rocket just did a little splash or a direct hit. The higher/lower tones do the same thing, but with no frame of reference I always find myself wondering if that was a high tone or a low tone. Could just be a lack of experience on my part though.

I do wish more casters would use the damage-based crosshair flashing, because it's difficult to hear the hitbeeps sometimes with people talking over it and the gamesounds turned down low.

oh wow, you missed an update that happened nearly 2 years ago :D

cg_hitbeep 2 ( lower = more dmg ) and 3 ( higher = more dmg )

don't think he missed it, he would have noticed it in every stream he's ever watched, because everyone uses it. probably a brain fart :)

erh, depends, I don't even notice them ingame either ( and eachtime I read "cpma hitbeeps" I'm left to wonder if I've ever found the cvar to activate them in cpma or if they're default and I'm oblivious to them )

cant use cpm hitsounds with vq3 in cpma

didn't notice them in cpm yesterday.
And I noticed you were using hitbeep 2 thanks to this thread, after using a tweaked version of your cfg for
months. I'm supposed to use 3.

just think of the sound an lg-rail combo makes in cpm :)

dingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingDONG

maybe.
Noctis has a similar ( or maybe the other way around ? ) thing going on with his lg bind, realized it after maybe a month while I was spamming weaponbinds.

I'm really that oblivious to hitsounds.

i just hate the high pitched hitsound on lg

I like how we are discussing if crosshair color change is annoying when players like rapha and k1llsen play with the fucking demo recording message on!

wait so you know that a good crosshiar is importat for lg what about a dot for the rail I bet any money accuracy will improve.

Ugh, I hate using a dot, anything else is better :S

I might try this later just for shits, but that dot is ridiculous. If you make it big, it blocks out whatever you're aiming at. If you make it small, the fucking thing gets lost in the screen.

Crosshair 2 with enough size so the border is one pixel. <3

Custom open cross xhair. No hit color and no enemy xhair names (though I have it so teammate names come up).

custom + with no fucking borders. q3's crosshair 1 size 20 white

omfg please give me that its all i need :( hate thee borders and dont know how to remove that

hmm, I no longer use it but I'd think it's really quite easy to make that specific one. perhaps ask darkhenke :]

Crosshair : +
Size: Personal Perference
Color: White or Yellow
Same corsshair for every weapon
?????
PROFIT!!!

who cares?

All these settings mean absolute shit! Used to tweak the cfg to within an inch of it's life, nowadays I just use the menu apart from 1 or 2 console commands and play exactly the same.

I use a variety of crosshairs for different weapons, but use + for the hitscan guns.

Color wise, I never found white to work well, so instead use Magenta (when I've got Green enemies) or Green (when I've got Magenta enemies). I toggle enemy color between maps depending on what shows up best. On most, I prefer Magenta.

questio: why not muti colored enemy model

I've never liked multi-color simply because depending on if you're peaking high or low (e.g. on DM6 shooting from RL or towards RL) you'll see just the legs or just the torso. Guess I prefer consistency and a solid color.

I shall raise your necroshovel with a piece of bubblegum stuck on the middle of the screen.

good old cs days at lan where I would stick blue tac and gum in the middle of screen just to be a dick head aimwhore with the AWP but man cs sucks.

shaft/rail +
sg (.)
pummel ( )
other .

White + for all with damage flash for rocket, grenades, and shotgun. Red colour flash for the others.
