Where are the crosshair graphics files in dp located?

[mother]

I would like to edit mine. Can someone point me in the right direction, por favor?

id1/GFX

I think they are in the .lmp file format.

[mother]

I have no "crosshair.lmp" is called something else?

[zylyx]

possibly. get a wad/lmp viewer and check them all out

DarkPlaces has a couple of built-in crosshairs (they are stored in the engine code) but does not come with any crosshair graphics that you can edit.

I'm sure DarkPlaces supports external crosshairs but you'd have to make them yourself.

Save a crosshair as c:\quake\id1\gfx\crosshair1.tga and then load DarkPlaces and type crosshair 1 in the console.

I'm not exactly sure how you make the transparent part of the graphic transparent. I tried using an alpha mask and it didn't seem to acknowledge it and I also tried using Quake palette color 255 and saving as 8-bit using the Quake palette and still no effect.

If you can't figure it out how to get the transparent part to be transparent, you could always ask on the DarkPlaces IRC channel @ irc://irc.anynet.org/darkplaces

I used Paintshop Pro to save them as .png. During the save process, you can elect to save parts of the graphic as transparent. I haven't tried it with .tga yet, but it should work the same. Thank you for the info on file placement.

Ah. I couldn't remember, DarkPlaces uses transparency a little differently than many other engines do (most of them, you use an alpha mask and save as 32-bit).

Remember if you are using Photoshop 7 for transperent TGA's, there is a big no-no bug in it that makes then entire image transperant. Just saying incase you run into this...
