Custom Crosshair becomes Error Texture when in Casual

[FubuKing]

I installed quake crosshairs at custom folder, i could see the crosshairs ingame and configured it to my preferred size and color etc. Then when i went to Casual, it turned into error textures (purple and black checkerboard pattern). What did i do wrong? Do i have to do some extra config stuff to make it work?

sv_pure prevents some crosshairs from working. I'm not entirely sure why some can by pass this and some can't. I know some custom huds have crosshairs that work.

I used to have a black and white crosshair that was visible on about every surface I ran acrossed till it did the black and purple checker box.

sv_pure doesn't check the replay thumbnails folder, and script edits can be used to change the default crosshair files to load from there, allowing fully custom vtf crosshairs

see above
also, some hud crosshairs are fonts that replace text characters with a crosshair-shaped vector, which is then drawn as a custom text element
