#1 HOW TO MAKE VTF CROSSHAIRS in Customization

Lots of people have been asking me to make these for ages so i decided to make it out of crappy step by step gifs

My VTF Crosshair Pack http://www.teamfortress.tv/35367/vtf-crosshair-pack (i recommend you download and install this first and just add your own crosshairs to it)

THINGS U NEED

VTFedit: http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?c=178 (get the installer)

GIMP: https://www.gimp.org/ (download at the top in red)

We're just gonna make a simple cross with an outline for this tutorial

STEP ONE
Open GIMP and make a new image that is 64x64 and transparent background > http://imgur.com/tOIrNvj

STEP 2
Zoom in and find the centre of the image by using the ruler thing along the top, you need to get the triangle to 32 on both sides
http://imgur.com/a/2Awap (i hope you understand what im getting at here, those squares are center of the image)

After finding the center using the pencil tool set to black and smallest size draw a 4 pixel square (N is the hotkey for pencil [ and ] change sizes - set it to smallest)
(because it is 64x64 it won't have a single pixel as the center)

Like this http://imgur.com/RzqWQmy This is now the center of our soon to be crosshair

STEP 3
Now we draw the crosshair, again using the pencil tool set to smallest size and black we will draw the outline of the cross then fill it in with white. it must be in white so we can change its colour ingame.

Show Content

STEP 4
After drawing the crosshair export it as a .png in GIMP with these settings > http://imgur.com/a/fRhHU

Then open VTFedit and import that .png file > http://imgur.com/T0QqBBX
USE THESE IMPORT SETTINGS > http://imgur.com/a/B55CT

STEP 5
Now do File > Save As and save it as crosshair.vtf
now we need a .vmt file to go with the vtf
create a new text file and paste this information in

Show Content
"UnlitGeneric"
{
"$translucent" 1
"$basetexture" "vgui\replay\thumbnails\crosshair"
"$vertexcolor" 1
"$no_fullbright" 1
"$ignorez" 1
}
The part highlight in bold needs to be the crosshairs name. for crosshair.vtf it is just crosshair.
Now we have a .vmt and a .vtf file now

STEP 6
Now to install the crosshair we just made.
Go to Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\custom_stuff\materials\vgui\replay\thumbnails
if you do not have a materials folder with the other folders in just make them.
then put the .vmt and the .vtf in the thumbnails folder
DONE

Now you have made a vtf crosshair that you can assign to a weapon, which i presume you know how to do from my other thread listed at the top, there you can download my VTF crosshair pack and get the weapon scripts files. Some of the gifs are messed up abit for me atm i hope they are okay for others.

Now you are free to experiment making your own crosshairs and stop asking me.

replace everything in the crosshairs section with

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

change seeker to the one you want

bearodactylNot sure if the big cross is already the same but if not it would be cool if you could make the thin cross from rays hud

bigcross is 1 pixel wide in the file so it dont get much thinner then that

fade-just use the one i linked it's the regular scout crosshair with a shadow

looks better than outline because outlines can get super super blurry and pixelated and shadows are sort of an inbetween that doesnt look bad

hes wanting a cross crosshair, nothing like the one you linked

Phoenix21CrosshairNormal that is in most huds.
you will have to show me an example because ive never heard of that.

this is CrosshairNormal I think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaY77vCMERM
also having a cross with a circle around it from quake would be nice, the current ones have visiblity issues and look blurry.

if you look closely that is just a cross and there are already cross crosshairs in the pack
