    Huh im a new member but i thought this would be the right place cause hes asking how to make his own custom crosshair and this is the ns custimization forum..

    I dont think you can change the color of the hud.. you can only change the oppacity and shape of it..

    The crosshair in CS is drawn by the game AFAIK...
    The one in NS is a image...
    You could always recolor it, though someone most likely has already done this...
    But an option to change the file it uses, or have a greyscale and have the game color it would be great...

    It'd be very easy to do that. Just increase the contrast, then set the last color in the palette to 255,0,0. Compile as alphatest and voila.

    They're both sprites, it's just that the 'default CS'/Observer one is slightly harder to find now, while the other NS crosshairs are conveniently stored as individual files.

    Anyway, back to editing your crosshairs:
    <b>First, the essentials: <a href='http://sjc.edu.hk/~verthandi/sprite_tools.zip' target='_blank'>Standard Issue Sprite Editing Kit</a></b>
