How Do I Get a Black Outline on My Crosshair

*Solved* I am using the "crossdot" from the VTF Crosshair Pack: http://www.teamfortress.tv/35367/vtf-crosshair-pack and I'd like to add a black outline. I saw another thread that showed you needed "outline" "1"
"CrossHairNormal"
{
"1"
{
"name" "Symbol"
"tall" "32"
"weight" "0"
"additive" "0"
"outline" "1"
}
}

Execpt when I go to that is is:

"crosshair"
{
"file" "vgui/replay/thumbnails/crossdot"
"x" "0"
"y" "0"
"width" "64"
"height" "64"

Where do I add the outline 1 or does that not work for this?

Those are HUD crosshairs. You can get em in most popular huds :-)

If you do not see the outline you might be using a low crosshair scale value.
This is most often the case for people who play with lower resolutions like 640x480 and 800x600

Try cl_crosshair_scale 50 in console, the outline should appear even if you're playing on 640x480
Scale down the value until you have a size you're happy with that still shows the outline.

If you are using 640x480 or 800x600 and still want a smaller size while still seeing the outline you will have to use a higher resolution

Or you aren't using the VTF crosshair. Make sure you are using cl_crosshair_file "" and don't have any HUD crosshairs enabled that might be overlapping the VTF crosshair

you're messing up vtf and font crosshairs, if you want a outline on vtf crosshair simply edit the picture

Okay, will do! And thank you Tob, having a larger crosshair I can see a small outline but I normally like having a smaller crosshair, I did away with that and did what you said :)

here's a download for truktruk's dot crosshair. It has a wider outline. It's already colored green but if you don't want that you can easily edit that. Check out leth's thread on how to make/edit VTF files if you haven't yet

Why would he make a vtf crosshair green? One of their best properties is you can make them white and use the ingame commands to colour them. :(

The point of it was so he could just make it white in-game and have a green, purple and yellow dot VTF for slot1/2/3 so he didn't need a crosshair color script either
