Re: custom croshair

Its allmost the same that the official one.
every weapons have the same croshair, and that is confusing.
Also, there isn't different weapons, flags, nothing, just the cursor.
And why have you hosted it in that server (FileFactory)? It is annoying to whait for all that "Slow Download crap.
Why haven't you hosted the .png by the same way that you'v hosted the screenshots??

But the cursor is really well designed, congratz smile

Re: custom croshair

Well, there is one cursor per weapon in Teeworlds and these are pretty handy because they respect a color code that allows you to quickly see which weapon you're using. You just put the same crosshair for every weapon.

Re: custom croshair

well if standart coloured croshairs works fine for you then you should not use this one)
I made it because pretty often I'm loosing standart croshairs from my focus and then it not easy to find it again especially if hard combat is going on. and I really dont care about different crosshair for different weapon. I just can say that I improved alot right after switching to my custom crosshair

The same color of the crosshairs isn't a problem, I just played some Vanilla with this gameskin and I ever knew which weapon I had selected. But I didn't really notice any differences between the vanilla gameskin and this one, but I'm sure, if you have problems focusing players with the vanilla gameskin this skin may help you.

It's just a code through all the gameskins and you really have no reason to break it. Of course you're not dumb enough to not notice which weapon you're using, but it helps, making the info easier to get and focusing more on enemies than on the top left corner.

Just a matter of taste, but if you want a bigger crosshair, at least keep the color code.

Re: custom croshair

I never needed cursors to tell me what weapon I'm using, lol, and the changing cursors is just annoying and sometimes makes them blend into the background, especially for example the brown in the shotgun. With one cursor you can easily allows follow it imo. Thanks for the gameskin, extee.

Re: custom croshair

I am playing vanilla for 1 year now(I mean on high lvl) with 1 crosshair for every weapon and its much better. Why? Because less color changes on screen - better focusing on whats actually going on around you. When changing from weapon to weapon croshair stay the same which not let you distract from important changes on the screen. Plus I also think that standard croshairs are unplayable, or at least you can lost them easily in a intense fight. Plus i agree what Broken said.

Re: custom croshair

just use your voice to switch the weapon, if you say shotgun you will get shotgun.  it would be able with the speech recognition of win 7.
