I got tired of looking at the default HL sprite when playing as the marines and decided to slice up the overwatch-target.spr and make unique varients of it for the different weapons. Hope you like them, I find them quite fitting and stylish
Ive also made a new motion sensor blip sprite (blip4.spr) from scratch to something that is a little more attention grabbing than the blue circle. I also have a request to the devs with this one, in commander mode, the blip4 sprite is displayed upside down in marine view, and is rotated 270 degrees CCW in commander view. The first version of this replacement sprite I had used an icon, which I think looked a lot better than the current version that looks fine in both modes. So could you please fix the blip4 sprite orientation with the next patch, pretty please

Anyways, here are the Crosshair replacements and Blip replacement sprites zipped, and ready for download.

Just place these files into your \half-life\ns\sprites dir, and overwrite the existing files, and you'll be good to go!

Enjoy!

Any chance of a few screenies?

I like the blip. At first glance I thought the red wouldn't look right (against the blue hud), but I'm going to give it a go. I think actually the red will make the blips more menacing somehow, which is always good for atmosphere.

Hey, now I like these crosshairs.

The motion detection blip is nice too. I originally made a red blip for motion too, but nobody liked it. That's why I made it blue. :/

**obscenity** I love the red blip! Makes it seem more menacing and it stands out more... Whenever I see the blue blip I think it's a waypoint. Thanks for the red one. It's too bad Relic's was made blue.

um i hate to be newbish but sadly ill have to be where do i put em?

im a idiot too

i like. a lot. i'm gonna put up ns sprites, hopefully hosted by rr.org, so can i put these up there?

I wouldnt mind if these were posted elsewhere as long as I get some mention

wheres the gl?

i like my gl could you do one plz

D'oh!
I'll get that done ASAP and repost the xhair zip with the missing GL varient

Thanks for pointing out that I forgot it

a request if i may, make the lines a bit thicker, and make it MEET in the middle with a dot perhaps so u actually see EXACTLY where ur aiming

yeah, sure do!

YAY were getting gl model !!!

/me goes off doncing!

Could someone please post a picture... I deleted my old sprite viewing program off my computer due to people not liking my crosshairs for another (unreleased)mod(that I won't speak of due to "pimping").

Biohazard could you make this a blue blip? that'd be sweet.

screen shots Sir.

This red blip is great. I used to get the normal motion detection with waypoints, when they were far off and a bunch of aliens swarming. Now I can tell wtf is going on.

Sadly , I am at work and must wait to try these out. From what I hear they are the shiznit.

Could someone post some screenies of them please? I'm reluctant to download without pics.

Guys, just download them and look at them in a sprite viewer.

yea, not like its gonna take you longer than a millisecond to download anyways

We have a rule on the FA forums, that I'm going to stand by in all mods:

No Pic, No D/L

..well, maybe I'll break it just this once, because I hate the default xhair.

that's true in most cases..but a sprite is so small, anyways when nssprites goes like there will be pics

You're gonna have a Sprite site Necro?

I thought you believed that modifying anything in the game (Including **obscenity** sprites) was cheating.

Erm, I believe he only thinks it's cheating if the modification gives you an unfair advantage.

You guys forget, necro is holier than thou art, so if he likes it it is definately NOT cheating.

ooh of course! How silly of me for thinking otherwise.

bio: can u by anychance take a screenshot for the site?

...Says the man chastising us for not taking one second to download and look at it in a sprite viewer.

Necro, do it yourself! It's not like it will take more then a second to download!

lol, i use them, except i modified it so on the HMG/Shotgun theres not that queer circle around it which blocks visibility

Alrighty then! Ive added the Grenade Launcher xhair to the zip file and reposted it. Just use the link in the first post to get the updated sprites. And also, here is a preview image attached to this post. The crosshairs are in done in IndexAlpha, so they are translucent in game.

And please dont call that ring qweer, it looks cool

And because I can only make one attachment per post, here the preview of the blip4 replacement.

Enjoy them both!
Or I'll you

And because Im and idiot.... heres the preview

pweeeeeeeen!

oh and can u take the huge obstruction circle off the hmg and shotty...and add a actualy crosshair (dot) in the center of them all so u know where you'll hit?

ok THIS time im getting this.

GJ biohaz

::edit:: hmm seems like the x-hairs are kinda huge...when is saw them ingame i was like "WOW!". Is there anyway to modify their size? heres another screenie for all the others to let them know the proportions ingame.

the image:

Me Hugs biohaz!

Great Job!

Im leaving the ring on them because that approximates pretty closely the spread of the HMG and SG, but I may make it more translucent, and I think it makes the crosshair look a bit cooler than w/o it . I dont think I'll add a center dot, but I will make the inner gradient lines more pronounced, they are a bit light.
Im thinking about resizing them to 64x64 and 32x32 if too many people are having problems with the size.

Anyways, thanks for the compliments!

the proble is their so HUGE u can't see jack D:

Dude if you shrunk those to the size of the modified "over watch" cross hairs, those would be the bst out there.

Done and Done

The zip that has the smaller (64x64) versions is Here!

Enjoy!

They look nice but kind of big.

Disregard the last post, for some reason I couldnt edit it. Sorry
