Qrack controls question

[BababooeyHTJ]

I have been playing around with a few different engines and I really like Qrack. I just have two problems. 1: I cant figure out how to enable a crosshair (I really cant play without one) and 2: It would be nice if I could setup my controls so when I move my mouse wheel up I can chose my next weapon and my mouse wheel down for my previous weapon. Also How would I bind the rocket launcher to a mouse button? Thanks in advance.

bind "MWHEELUP" "impulse 10" // next weapon
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "impulse 12" // previous wepon

and umm

crosshair "#" // # = cross hair u use, can be set from multiplayer menu

and the rj one im not sure, i allways seem to bow myself up with a rocket if i have somthing like that

[PapaSmurf]

for the crosshair, I like this:


//Crosshair Settings
crosshair 1
crosshairimage crosshair8
crosshairsize 1.5
crosshair_static 1
crosshaircolor "255 255 255"

keeps it simple. Note: try out different crosshairs by doing crosshairimage crosshair1 or crosshair2 or crosshair3 etc. This is, of course, assuming you got the pak file that comes with qrack that has these various crosshairimages.

For the rocket launcher, simply do this;

bind mouse4 "impulse 7"

My Qrack crosshair preference is...

crosshair 2
crosshairsize .3
crosshaircolor "255 255 255"

I think this makes for a very minimal but almost pinpoint crosshair with guided mini sites

Heres what it looks like in-game

Thank you very much! You guys just made my day!

Are you saying you don't like pussies Yellow no.5?

Dicks are for pussies, crosshairs are for shooting dicks.

haha

I can play with our without crosshairs, so i guess you can say I'm bi-crosshair Like superman, only better!

the wepon model is my crosshair

the wepon model is my crosshair

I don't use the weapon model however.. I believe the command is r_drawviewmodel 0. I use to use it in my noob years but then I was goin for a minimalist interface so I took it out. Its just my personal preference not to use the weapon model.

[R00k]

U CAN USE R_DRAWVIEWMODEL 0.5 AND YOUR WEAP WILL be 50% transparent...

Wouldn't transparency for the crosshair degrade performance? Just asking because I know when you use water transparency in Qrack it takes a performance hit pretty bad

that is because transparent water only works with r_novis 1 -> no visibility data = performance hit

[R00k]

Its not the crosshair that becomes transparent, just the gun model itself.
And like Peg said, transparent water requires r_novis 1, whereas transparent gun does not. I dont like NO gun model because, i have two main keys I use for selecting weapons, w and r. W = "impulse 7 5 4 3 2 1" and R = "impulse 8 5 4 3 2 1", which means if I have RL and press W it selects the RL, if not then W selects the SUPERNAILGUN etc. Showing the viewmodel tells me pretty easily, "oh yea, im outta rocks" cause my RL doesnt appear when pressing W... Without the weapon model, I'll press W and start shooting nails instead in that case.
