Custom crosshair overlay how to#
Know how to put programs in startup files or immediately start a program off a flash drive when it's plugged in? Go ahead and flash gigantic flashy pictures and troll faces on other people's monitors. Some people won't understand the point of this and especially the point of animations but I love it. As far as the animations go I haven't noticed any performance decrease using them but my computer is slightly beefy (gtx 660), however, when I tried doing a decently large 30 fps crosshair on my shitty school laptop it didn't really start doing bad until it covered what was basically the whole screen. It's not 'cheating' or anything like that but I don't really want to start that debate again. I know crosshair overlays are debated in games that are supposed to be 'realistic' but I see no problem with it. This one is using 18fps but it's sort of.a picture.
Games like Rust or Dayz can go crazy with animations and what the crosshair looks like as well. Games like Tribes:Ascend are notorious for having the worst crosshairs so you can turn off the ingame one and use one of your own. Like the crosshair you have in a game but still lose track of it? Try adding a circle or line with multiple colors to make it stand out in both bright and dark environments.or add some epileptic animations for more fun. ini file and in the nice little ui the program has on my left (The program displaying the ini is NotePad++). If you're going to play a game that uses a different crosshair or not use this program at all then there you have it.Īn example of me editing the crosshair in on my right monitor (my preferred program) and messing with the settings in both the. ini file located inside it's directory ^-^). It's called Custom Desktop Logo and it allows you to easily center your crosshair, edit it's alpha, position, the file that's being used, and most interestingly, it's animations.Īn example of its drop down menu where you can: close it, hide it (very helpful) and go to it's settings, (but I usually use the. During my search to find the best crosshair overlay solution, in the farthest regions of google, I found a program that was created for business, that, funny as it is, does the job better than mumble, Asus monitors, programs that were created especially for crosshair overlays, and whatever in between. If you're either one of these, or just genuinely curious, you might enjoy looking into this. There are also others who enjoy editing their game and making it feel more like their own. it's all just little gimmicks that help you ever so slightly, they're still far away from any kind of unfair advantage taking / cheating.īut yea, don't get me wrong, as I said it makes sense that they state tampering with game files can get you in trouble, it just really depends on what you're doing.Īnd who knows, maybe LO will implement a permanent dot option as crosshair or let's us customize our crosshair ingame.There are a few out there, like myself, who either hate their ingame crosshairs, don't have one, or have "Where the hell is my crosshair?" syndrome. there's also the modified mission text that shows you the upcoming stages and what kind of last stage the mission will be, which has a higher impact on the game than a crosshair, but it's fine to use that aswell. it's a crosshair, not a macro, or outline shaders that let you see people through smoke or whatever, hell, advanced launcher is allowed and I'm pretty sure you can get rid of smoke in the game that way so you can easily see through nade explosions and all that fuzz. just in case there is any exploit being abused and all that stuff - it makes sense, but having a slightly modified (or just a dot) crosshair isn't harming anyone, and I'm certain admins would approve. How is that hard to understand for people is beyond me.Ĭan get you in trouble. Any tampering with files can get you in trouble.
