[spackrel] Alien Crosshair Set

CplDavis

wow very nice!

question: how does the onos devour one work?
b/c dont u have to aim a bit low or something like that?

Aim for their chest with devour. Can't say it's ever failed me.

Also, those crosshairs are so sexy <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Actually, using a devour xhair you just have to get it over the marine's hitbox, like any other weapon. The problem comes from the fact that the onos is so tall compared to everyone else, and that the devour model is so confusing, with the horn twisted towards the side of the screen, that the area you need to aim at seems higher than it really is.

And these are excellent xhairs, I will definitely be using several of them. Good work!

I love these crosshairs but found them a little too big, so I resized most of them. If you prefer these in a smaller version, you can get them below. Specifically, I made the following changes:

25% size reduction to:
-bite
-leap
-xenocide
-bilebomb
-all lerk crosshairs
-swipe
-metabolize
-all onos crosshairs

Parasite was reduced by 50% because I found it too big for sniping distant marines.
Spit and web was each reduced by 50% so that they're now small circles instead of rings (healspray was unchanged)
Blink was reduced by 60% and some pixels were dimmed because the oringal took up too much of my screen.
Acid rocket was reduced by 50%, so you now aim with the whole sprite.

I've tried Winzip, Winrar, ExtractNow and the zip utility built into Windows. I guess my computer hates your pack. The other sprites are great though.

Fury

Thanks <b>Shaz</b> for this great crosshairs, and thanks <b>bmdavll</b> for the resize!
They look sweet!

Alright, since there's been some problems downloading bmdavll's edited version off of the NS Forums, Bashh was kind enough to host it on NSArmslab. I've added a link to the first post.

The file comes with proper documentation and a preview I threw together. The preview gives you a good idea what they look like.

<!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> and you left out my linkage

or are you subliminally telling me to get rid of mine?

Swiftspear

I have to try these out, the size reduction pack makes them quite tempting. My biggest complaint is that I would like a more expressive center point for web, spit, and spore, as they all can be sniped through incredibly small holes if you aim properly and angle them right. Also the parasite sprite is just way too obnoxious for my preferance, I think I'll just keep the one I am using right now (small +)

Shazbot

fury, i don't want to link to a download that's missing a readme. I didn't notice the link till you pointed it out anyways, I would've said something earlier.

Shazbot

Also, here's a preview, that I threw together, of what the smaller version looks like:

p.s. I'm not too fond of the healspray crosshair I made a while ago, I might end up making a new one, and releasing it in this thread.

Fury

all thats there was all that was in the rars <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

/edit

the readme is there, its the only txt file in the "ShazAlienCrosshairs" folder.
I uploaded the folder instead of the rar'd file because people sometimes have problems opening archives, this way they dont <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

NEX9

no shaz ill keeep your heal spray

yeah i got the little pac first as i love snipeing, but i could hardly tell the spit from the heal with mi rez, so i got the large pac and thro i nthe big heal spray works perfect since i am usaly a permer gorgie

i did the same with xeno and a few otehrs i liked the bigger over the smaller and when mised to suit your needs there just awsome, but feel free its your own work i jsut gotta say imo leave heal spray

Fury

fancy making one for spikes?
cause the server i play on has it enabled, and i cant find a suitable one to use for it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

NEX9

err spike actuly shoots i na triangle pattern so the one that comes with it, jsut shrink it down and you will see the spikes line up with the 3 dots

Fury

you mean xhairalien?
