okay, not really. but i present to you yet another weird and probably useless hud trick.
http://i.imgur.com/6wfqO2W.jpg
what is going on in this picture? every single thing in my game is dark except for my crosshair. now my crosshair stands out even more than it already does.
how to use:
1. go to hudlayout.res
2. copy and paste the first bolded section labeled "BLACKNESS" into your hud under the first "{".
3. go to your hud crosshair (you must use a hud crosshair for this to work) and set the "zpos" to "420".
4. adjust the darkness of "BLACKNESS": "fillcolor" "0 0 0 120" change "120" to whatever you want. 0 = transparent. 255 = black.
"Resource/HudLayout.res"
{
"BLACKNESS"
{
"ControlName" "ImagePanel"
"fieldName" "Line"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "0"
"zpos" "419"
"wide" "864" // MAY NEED TO CHANGE DEPENDING ON YOUR RESOLUTION
"tall" "640" // MAY NEED TO CHANGE DEPENDING ON YOUR RESOLUTION
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"fillcolor" "0 0 0 120"
}
YOURCROSSHAIR
{
"controlName" "CExLabel"
"fieldName" "HudxHairDot"
"visible" "0"
"enabled" "1"
"zpos" "420"
"xpos" "c0"
"ypos" "c0"
"wide" "27"
"tall" "27"
"font" "HudxHair"
"labelText" "4"
"fgcolor" "255 255 255 255"
"textAlignment" "center"
note: your menu, console, chatbox, quickswitch, and team and class menus will remain the same.

profixBut why?
for years, tf2 players have been figuring out ways to make your crosshair not blend in into any environment.

No it will work with a regular crosshair you just have to use zpos "-420" or any negative value.

Nice, almost as visible as the crosshair that takes up your entire screen.

Where would I put it though? There isn't a crosshair section for the default ones like with hud crosshairs as far as I can see.

I think he means make the blackness "-420". Not too sure though.

you want the xhair on top of the black "filter". you don't have to put the filter on top of everything so i guess you can make it a negative value.

can guarantee that you will never lose track of it ever

I went into broeselhud and made my own edit to it, removed most of the backgrounds, and made a white layer with all text/crosshair black. Turned out pretty nice IMO, still in development, but if someone wants I could put up a DL link

On a serious note, is there a way to make something like a standard cross shaped crosshair, 2 colors? Like 1 L shaped part of it or the top half Light Blue and the other half light green? I only ask because on certain maps that contain grass like cp_process you have large green areas, and of the course the sky is blue.
