Trying to Recreate Beta CrossHair
I really like the beta Cross hairs for portal. Well I wanted ot make them for Portal, but when I looked into the crosshairs VTF it was just white, so I thought hmm weird.
I exported as a PNG and opened with PHOTOSHOP, and bam turns out it was a PNG to VTF. I successfully edited the cross hairs with a beta like theme
Here is my issue though, the crosshairs curl over, anyone know how to fix this and how to change the color
ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY NICE
IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS
I actually think they look pretty awesome like that.
i was gunna say the same thing. that slightly overlapped thing "looks" cool. don't know how cool it would be in game what with it being in your way. but it looks pretty sweet on pic
I don't mod like you do, but if I were you I would move the lines in different spots until they look the way you want it. But, I don't do this.
As for the colors, I think you have to go into the portal files or something like that.
EDIT: Here is my best guess. In the Portalgun file, it may have something like
"PRIMARY FIRE" ---- "HUD = 35 134 254"
"SECONDARY FIRE" ---- "HUD = 255 128 64"
I'm just trowing thoughts around...

- Code: Select all
"sprites/640_hud"
{
TextureData
{
"portal_crosshair_left_invalid"
{
"file" "sprites/hud/portal_crosshairs"
"x" "2"
"y" "0"
"width" "44"
"height" "64"
}
"portal_crosshair_right_invalid"
{
"file" "sprites/hud/portal_crosshairs"
"x" "50"
"y" "0"
"width" "44"
"height" "64"
}
"portal_crosshair_left_valid"
{
"file" "sprites/hud/portal_crosshairs"
"x" "98"
"y" "0"
"width" "44"
"height" "64"
}
"portal_crosshair_right_valid"
{
"file" "sprites/hud/portal_crosshairs"
"x" "146"
"y" "0"
"width" "44"
"height" "64"
}
"portal_crosshair_last_placed"
{
"file" "sprites/hud/portal_crosshairs"
"x" "194"
"y" "0"
"width" "28"
"height" "64"
}
I have a feeling this may be something that needs to be edited, but i have no idea where to start any help would be nice.
Try replacing the "sprites/hud/portal_crosshairs" with "sprites/hud/your_file" But copy the file that is in front of you if it does not work right.

Well, I don't know if that will work at all. I mean the Portal crosshair is in 3 sections.
here lemme show you what I have done

Put the file locations for each file in the file sections of the code.
I'm looking forward to this

As am I, Ive been wanting to see this done, and no one has done it so I took it upon myself to do it.

Then the ovals should be lines then.
