Easy Crosshair Switcher - No download

Want to have different crosshairs for each class/weapon slot, but dont want to download confusing cfg files? Easily edit your class cfg files with NO download required. (Only some copy paste info)

Intro

If any info on how to add or edit the cfg files please look at my other guide found here

What to Add

What to add

You need to create the file to store all the crosshair information.
I called it "crosshair", see image below.



Inside it you need the information such as the size, colour and type. below is the information you need to fill the file, again see image below.


The text below you copy and paste similar to mine.

////////////////
// CROSSHAIRS //
////////////////


alias cross_with_dot "cl_crosshair_file crosshair1"
alias half_cross_with_dot "cl_crosshair_file crosshair2"
alias ring "cl_crosshair_file crosshair3"
alias ex "cl_crosshair_file crosshair4"
alias dot "cl_crosshair_file crosshair5"
alias open_cross "cl_crosshair_file crosshair6"
alias cross "cl_crosshair_file crosshair7"
alias default "exec crosshairswitcher/defaultcrosshair"

alias black "cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_green 0; cl_crosshair_blue 0"
alias grey "cl_crosshair_red 128; cl_crosshair_green 128; cl_crosshair_blue 128"
alias white "cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_blue 255"

The class specific cfg files

Next

You need to insert a command to each class cfg file to remind it to load the crosshair file.

such as

exec crosshairs

In each class file.

Then you go to where you located the slot1, slot2, and slot3 commands, (primary, secondary and melee) see image below,


and thats it. Go to each class and it in a similar manner.


it goes like this

bind MWHEELUP "big;red;dot; slot1; r_drawviewmodel 0; fov_desired 90; viewmodel_fov 100"

i believe the order needs to be correct, idk, but either way, change the size, colour or type based on the alias's from the crosshair file you created. the other information can be found in my other guide.

Extra

I will edit this if need be.
Any questions and i will answer asap.
There may be mistakes, and if you find them please post in the comments.


I hope this helped!
Happy Gaming!

NP!

this is great thanks man

ok thanks

You need to have a key bound to the crosshair, it tells the game which button switches the crosshair. But yes, u can make it so all classes have the same setup except spy, its just some copy and paste for the 8 classes and rework for the spy. For example, bind g "big;red;circle;slot1" would go in all classes cfg files except spy.

can i remove the part when we bind a key for a crosshair and a viewmodel or it will broke the crosshair switcher ? i want the same crosshair for all the class and all the weapon exept spy, i want the dot crsshair but it's very bad for other classes.

[Das Psycho]

bind MWHEELUP "big;red;dot; slot1; r_drawviewmodel 0; fov_desired 90; viewmodel_fov 100"

This is an example, where big, red and dot where alias's identified in the crosshair file. you just change big, red, dot to whatever colour, size, shape you want. You still need the definations outlining what each alias is.

[Das Psycho]

one part identifies the alias's you set "Red" = (cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_green 0; cl_crosshair_blue 0) etc.

This is what i mean inside the " it implies for a a big red dot as a crosshair it would be
cl_crosshair_scale 32
cl_crosshair_file crosshair1
cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_green 0; cl_crosshair_blue 0 but in your picture above its way different

[Das Psycho]

it is one single " not two of them as you put.

[Warden of Heaven]

Im just confused on how you put it in


on the crosshair i "" this but when you show it in your script its something different
