Is it possible to make dot crosshairs or crosshairs very small in cs1.6?
Hello.
I would like to use dotted crosshairs or as small as possible cross hairs in cs1.6 is it possible?
Also is it possible to raise the fps to 144 or 240 fps?

That's one reason many ppl including myself stay on 800x600, it explain also why somany peoples suck at this game due to lack of map awareness. (they get flanked a lot)

You could be banned from altering the crosshair with external filesystem modifications.

fps_override 1
fps_max 9999 (or 144 or 240)

For crosshair, you'd need to change your resolution (800x600), otherwise you can't change much about it.
Edit: and of course the smallest one in the settings.

Thanks for the answer.
I heard somewhere that if you set the fps to more than 100, such as 240 or 300, you may get banned in the worst case scenario when playing on community servers, etc. Is this true?

If they don't allow it they would have set the fps max to be 100. If you try to change it you get kicked, you can play as long as you don't use high fps. You won't get banned thi, just repeatedly kicked.

Thanks for the answer.
I've seen this video in the past, but I think I read something in the comments section about "using external software to change crosshairs is cheating, so you can't do that", so I didn't touch it.
I'd like to try it if it's not banning or cheating...

Just pick out a booger from your nose and stick it on your screen. Viola.

u dont want to raise the fps above 100.

in old games fps does change gameplay.
running anything above 100 fps is even illegal in a lot of servers.
climbing is 100fps.
bhop is 100fps.
surfing is 131fps.
slide is 100fps.
competitive is 100fps.

any variations will give advantages that are considered cheating in some servers due to physics behaving differently on different fps.
it would ruin movement scoreboards.

for competitive, ull even be at disadvantage if you have more than 100 fps, as any form of slow, such as getting hit, or slows after jumps, will affect you stronger and longer than other people.

doing sgs accross the map within seconds is the funniest thing ever, if the server has sv_airaccelerate 100 that is. if they allow high fps, why wouldnt u use it?

u can do whatever u want on random servers.
just any main server wont allow it or kick you. if you upload any speedruns with it its cheating.

if changing fps was allowed, i would be flying across the map with ledging from a standstill. this would instantly break competitive.
i used to do that on nuke, just ledge anything 20x and fly into t spawn lmao.
its fun, but its not for the main servers of any mode.

most ppl would just play the same and just get hitblocked more.
just putting 144 fps cos u have 144hz doesnt work that way in cs1.6.
ud be at disadvantage for any gunfight.

In this game the crosshair design is affected by the Screen Resolution, same for the minimap.
That's one reason many ppl including myself stay on 800x600, it explain also why somany peoples suck at this game due to lack of map awareness. (they get flanked a lot)

You could be banned from altering the crosshair with external filesystem modifications.
