<div class="IPBDescription">How to fix it</div> I just found a bug in some of the crosshair files that means the crosshair for lerk umbra and gorge web do not appear. To fix it extract <a href='http://www.holcroft.net/~cheesy/fixedsprites.zip' target='_blank'>this</a> file to your Half-Life\ns\sprites folder.


To fix it manually:

Open weapon_webspinner.txt and change the number on the first line from 6 to 8.

Do the same with weapon_umbra.txt.

    I thought those crosshairs were missing on purpose.

    What does that number mean, exactly?

    Same here, to be honest, I dont think that those weapons need crosshairs, but thanks anyway. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'm not sure why 8 is the right number (a variety of numbers appear to be used), but considering the existence of xhairweb.spr in the ns sprites directory I guess they are accidentally missing. But that's not a guarantee, bite2gun and paralyze are still in there too, and those aren't even weapons in NS 2.0.

    PS: what are those autoaim lines in the text files? I didn't know NS had autoaim.

    It's definately a bug. That number is just a count of the number of lines in the text file. They added the crosshairs but forgot to change the number at the top. The crosshairs will show in really low resolution.

    I've already posted this in the bugs section btw, just thought you all might want to know about it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    ns doesn't have autoaim, but halflife does <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    it's a var the server op can set, surprising 99% of the time it's 0.

    In that case, a lot of those weapon files are wrong, though the common error tends to be that the number is too high, which doesn't appear so bad.

    First off ... Bugs forum

    Second... lerk umbra is not hard to predict.... center of your screen.

    Third.... a reticle on web would be nice but it may have been removed to prevent direct webbing of an enemy as some people used to complain. aka shooting a wall then a person.
