These took a while to make, but I'm happy with the finished project. If you got some CC, please post it, I'm planning on making a complete sprite pack in the future, and I wouldn't mind making changes. smile-fix.gif

Special thanks to "6john6doe6", "Sykotic", "Dragon_Mech", and "MR. JEBURTO" for some ideas I used.

Enjoy!

OMG SO USING
Kalessin
Very nice, good work!

OH WOW OH WOW OH WOW LET ME HAVE YOUR BABIES

I love you, mang. Thank you, you make my life heaven.

Why? I just never understood why NS didn't have crosshairs for every alien weapon. I would like to have a crosshair for metabolize and blink. Why? So i can tell the two apart. The weapon models look exactly the same.

Not no more.

Like i said, i love you, and i want to have your babies.
l0tus
exceptional. i especially like the blink crosshair...
Drake1
Sweet

Sykotic
Unbelievable Shaz, these are absolutely stunning smile-fix.gif
MrSocks

May i make two suggestions?

Now a days i just skip right over most marine crosshairs simply because One: Pistol crosshair doesn't have a sniper-dot, Two: Marine Shotgun crosshair doesn't have the point-accurate dots on it.

So, now this'll be kinda sad sounding, but could you work in the pellet-accurate shotgun crosshair into yours? As in, put representational markers for the pellets in on it somewhere?

The pistol also needs a simple and unimpeded dot on it so i can aim very precisely. Not that i'm any good at using it, but it's still a nice thing to have.

Just my two cents.

CplDavis
wow very nice!

question: how does the onos devour one work?
b/c dont u have to aim a bit low or something like that?
Seph_Kimara
Aim for their chest with devour. Can't say it's ever failed me.

Also, those crosshairs are so sexy wow.gif
BobTheJanitor
Actually, using a devour xhair you just have to get it over the marine's hitbox, like any other weapon. The problem comes from the fact that the onos is so tall compared to everyone else, and that the devour model is so confusing, with the horn twisted towards the side of the screen, that the area you need to aim at seems higher than it really is.

And these are excellent xhairs, I will definitely be using several of them. Good work!

I love these crosshairs but found them a little too big, so I resized most of them. If you prefer these in a smaller version, you can get them below. Specifically, I made the following changes:

25% size reduction to:
-bite
-leap
-xenocide
-bilebomb
-all lerk crosshairs
-swipe
-metabolize
-all onos crosshairs

Parasite was reduced by 50% because I found it too big for sniping distant marines.
Spit and web was each reduced by 50% so that they're now small circles instead of rings (healspray was unchanged)
Blink was reduced by 60% and some pixels were dimmed because the oringal took up too much of my screen.
Acid rocket was reduced by 50%, so you now aim with the whole sprite.
Suey
hey really like these
actually using the smaller ones as they work bit better for me
but love them thanks biggrin-fix.gif

I've tried Winzip, Winrar, ExtractNow and the zip utility built into Windows. I guess my computer hates your pack. The other sprites are great though.

Thanks Shaz for this great crosshairs, and thanks bmdavll for the resize!
They look sweet!

Alright, since there's been some problems downloading bmdavll's edited version off of the NS Forums, Bashh was kind enough to host it on NSArmslab. I've added a link to the first post.

The file comes with proper documentation and a preview I threw together. The preview gives you a good idea what they look like.

sad-fix.gif and you left out my linkage

or are you subliminally telling me to get rid of mine?
Swiftspear
I have to try these out, the size reduction pack makes them quite tempting. My biggest complaint is that I would like a more expressive center point for web, spit, and spore, as they all can be sniped through incredibly small holes if you aim properly and angle them right. Also the parasite sprite is just way too obnoxious for my preferance, I think I'll just keep the one I am using right now (small +)
Shazbot
fury, i don't want to link to a download that's missing a readme. I didn't notice the link till you pointed it out anyways, I would've said something earlier.
Shazbot
Also, here's a preview, that I threw together, of what the smaller version looks like:

p.s. I'm not too fond of the healspray crosshair I made a while ago, I might end up making a new one, and releasing it in this thread.
