Thin crosshair

So I've been trying to get myself a hud crosshair that is a + but sort of big and really thin. However, even though I've scoured other huds, and tried to find a font on my own to use, I can never get it to turn out thin, it's always a fat plus sign.

Anyone have one already and wouldn't mind sharing? Or know where I could get one?

don't use a font xhair if you want a perfectly sized and aligned crosshair.

here is the basic building block for hud crosshair construction.

"line1"
{
"ControlName" "ImagePanel"
"xpos" "c0"
"ypos" "c0"
"wide" "1"
"tall" "1"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"fillcolor" "0 0 0 255"

But wouldn't that just make the overall plus sign smaller? I want it big, but thin.

Edit: Trying it anyways

#2 It just made the whole thing smaller, not thinner.

#3 Where would I designate it to be a + sign? Basically at this point, I just copy and pasted an already working hud xhair section like the one you have in your post, and changed the font used (as well as defining a new font in my clientscheme.res)

If you really want one that is long and thin and nothing in fog's crosshair matches your needs then find a font with a really long, straight and thin L and underscore (_). And then just make a hudcrosshair from scratch by putting those 2 things on top of each other. Obviously you'll have to play around with the numbers, positioning and font sizes a lot to get it into a +.

For this xhair you'll need:

"CrossHairVeryThin"
{
"1"
{
"name" "Kozuka Gothic Pro EL"
"tall" "30"
"weight" "0"
"additive" "0"
"outline" "1"
}
}

in ClientScheme.res

and

CrossHairVeryThin
{
"controlName" "CExLabel"
"fieldName" "CrossHairVeryThin"
"visible" "1"
"visible_minmode" "0"
"enabled" "1"
"zpos" "1"

"xpos" "c-12"
"ypos" "c-13"
"wide" "24"
"tall" "21"

"font" "CrossHairVeryThin"
"labelText" "+"
"fgcolor" "255 255 0 255"
"textAlignment" "center"
}

in hudlayout.res

The font file is here

Just download and install the font. (so you don't have to define it in ClientScheme.res)
