This now adds a Fallout themed crosshair. Vertibird inspiration comes from @reptilious https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1918694118

I didn't blame them, I gave them credit for allowing a way to implement it. The only real issue is the pains someone, Zaphodikus in this instance had to go to in order to create the files used to implement it. I sure as Hell couldn't do it. It's not a simple mod by any means at all.
Thanks to Zaph. I can actually see what I'm doing now.

Guide has been updated and checked the scenario path as looking correct, please grab another look at the guide as I have added half a dozen screenshots that were sorely needed and now have the video tutorial uploaded (35 minutes running time.)

Thanks for spotting that path error @Myrmidon. I'm doing fresh screenshots and a video of the whole process now to make this easier. I was kinda hoping people would read the instructions.txt file that @ravien_ff provides. Note I use an SSD drive, so the roots of all path for me are a bit different. Hope the video will make this clear once I finish recording it today.

@zaphodikus The path you provided in the photo is wrongg. The correct one is :

steamapps/workshop/content/383120/2396973341/SharedData/Content/Bundles/

Also your guide on what to copy over what and how to start the game does not give much information. Copy what where? Provide paths. From where to where?Start the game how? Vanilla? Your scenario? Does the files work with any scenario? I play scenario now. What do I do what do I copy and where? Do II have to play only your scenario to have the crosshairs? More info please.

@zaphodikus. Thank you for the mod. Thumbs up for the work.

@MyProfile. Do not blame Eleon. You have not understand that on purpose some aspects of the game remaine as is , so the players/community stp forward and create modifications like this to enrich the game. They wanted the community to be more active and create stuff for the game to help players and participate on the development.

Once a Blind Man in the Dark, now will become John Carter Warlord of Mars. I would say shame on you Eleon but at least they left the capability to implement. Zaph your mod will become first most popular of the month and eventually the year. Thanks.
Loaded tiny on PEREF 1.4 and immediately I was able to pick ore up off the ground like a champ. That stupid blue circle can go jump off a cliff!

very cool :)

I'll add in instructions to Project Eden how to use these crosshairs in the scenario.
zaphodikus  [author] Feb 16, 2021 @ 1:30am 
Ravien_ff you are welcome, was going to make a copy of your Eden scenario and add the crosshairs but that feels backward because this small change is easy to maintain compared to the huge amount of work keeping just keeping Eden and Reforged Galaxy in a working state.

I'll look for a few ways to automate the crosshair swapping using bash script, the trouble is file permissions not persisting, but worth exploring how well that works, so I will be pushing an update. I do still want to make up a few more crosshairs sets, because I have gone off track on the colour blindness side of the research and need to get back onto that.

Subscribed and favorited! Thank you for putting this up.

:-) Lots of fun learning how to do this. Other curious projects await us.
