TFC crosshair txt files

[Paft]

It's been a while and my memory doesn't serve me well so need your help.

I am trying to use a crosshair for melee weapons. Taking any crosshair from the original crosshairs.spr. It doesn't matter which because I've edited it so it's the same xhair for all.


so example:
taking the sprite locations from tf_weapon_rpg

crosshair        320 crosshairs    24    48    24    24
crosshair        640 crosshairs    24    48    24    24

and putting it in tf_weapon_axe doesn't work. Nothing shows up in-game.

But doing a separate sprite file for the xhair works. What am I forgetting?

I think by default there were no crosshairs for the crowbar. If you had to add the two crosshair lines (for 320 and 640), then you probably need to add 2 to the number on the first line. The first number is the number of entries in that tf_weapon_axe file.

This is my tf_weapon_axe

8
weapon			320 320hud1	0	0	80	20
weapon_s		320 320hud1	0	20	80	20
crosshair		320 crosshairs  24	0	24	24
autoaim			320 crosshairs  0	72	24	24
weapon			640 640hud1	0	0	170	45
weapon_s		640 640hud4	0	0	170	45
crosshair		640 crosshairs  24	0	24	24
autoaim			640 crosshairs  0	72	24	24

I'm not sure why doing a separate sprite file for the crosshair works. Let me know if it still doesn't work (or if you already did this).

Thank you. You help figure out the problem.

It was the number on the top line. The default axe.txt is 4, I swapped it to 8 and now the crosshair shows. I don't know what that number is for though?

It's the number of entries in the file.

Ah...

Thanks.

Shit sake! You explained that. Sorry, it's 1:35 so completely brain dead.
