Cross-hair cleanup

[Skorpio]

Is it possible to move all the stuff around the cross-hair somewhere else? I find the radar blips and ammo symbols around the cross-hair highly distractive. In other games I just use a small red dot as cross-hair.

I'm sure you could edit the crosshair image to a dot. I wouldn't know how to modify the HUD though.

Radarplayers - controls whether the green dots are there or not
Radarplayersblend - Controls the opacity of the dots representing players
Radarplayerseffects - Controls whether or not the dots representing players will 'blink' if they're on fire among other things.
RadarPlayerNames - If set to 2, will make it so that the dots in radar also display player name.
Radarplayersize - Controls the size of the dots


radaritems - controls whether the items are there or not
Radaritemstime - How long items stay on the radar (in ms)
Radaritemsspawn - Don't know. I think it shows them popping onto the radar when they appear
radaritemsblend - controls the opacity of the items around radar
radaritemsname - shows the name of items around the radar
radaritemssize - shows the size of items around the radar.

radaraffinity - ??
radaraffinityblend - ??
Radaroffset - Controls how far away the dots and items and stuff are from your mouse cursor. It is still circular.. but this might be what you're looking for.

I just have it all turned off.

Thanks, but I actually would like to move the radar to a corner of the screen like in Enemy Territory. Especially the ammo display next to the cross-hair blocks my sight.

I think you can do that by editing the compass.cfg in the /data/ directory.

Man, are you kidding me? The cross-hair is one of the best things that I like of Red Eclipse.
Why? Because having the ammo, weapon & player location near the cross-hair allows me to focus on the battle without losing time moving my eyes to the corners of my screen just to see my ammo amount, or a radar map, etc. (moving the eyes around a 1900x1200 or 2500x1600 screen is annoyinly tedious ).

The cross-hair of this game is awesome, and I hope that they could add a health meter around it too .

I would agree, but the only thing I don't like is that to change my xHair i have to edit the .png I thinks its a good xHair, but I prefer the classic Quake Arena ʘ

Me thinks that we need a cross-hair selection menu for the next version? I would like to have some of the sauerbraten cross-hairs back...

[Kitsune]

Would be nice, I'd like to see a xHair.png that is tiled or support for xhair1.png xhair2.png etc....

Ok, I'm gonna make some crosshairs and post them later on the forums.

Sweet, thanks. ^-^
