no

Yes.

You can make a custom HUD that is exactly the same as the default HUD but with a new crosshair.

Ignore Archangel, Just use a custom HUD like frog said.

Although with a custom hud, you can't use a *new* crosshair, all the assets are pure-checked.

Also, the devs are busy and afaik, lak has never touched hud stuffs.  A sensible topic would be a lot better.

The HUD (and here define the crosshair) is afaik the only thing that has been left out of the pure check (on purpose)

The crosshair images are in pure check, the HUD definition files aren't.

Yes, that works the same as in q3. If the server is pure your hud can only use the alternate crosshair image if it is also on the server. As they said on your link

To use custom crosshairs( or any custom graphic) at a pure server you must make sure the servers you play at have the same custom graphic file you are using. 

Works the same for Tremulous. Without really looking at them, odds are you could even use the same crosshair pk3s, once you made a Tremulous hud that references them.

hmmm as far as i understand wer able to put this pk3 files (crosshairs) into trem and be able to play with it on pure servers but only if the server has this pk3 too. the question now is how do we get this pk3 onto all servers ? are there any other negative thinks about doing this`?  wouldnt it be possible to make a update for tremulous or you put it in your qvm or something ?

i dont know much but id like to use this crosshairs.

tell me what s possible and what not

You cant.
You can go ask individual servers to allow it, but most won't bother to even look.
A few run the camo-bsuit and shinytrem etc, but most won't.
So no-can-do.

There are various patches to remove black and exploits that get around different versions. It depends entirely on what sever you're playing on.

adding xhairs...hud

decompress the data-1.1.0.pk3
you can add in your xhair there, then make an installer for it, and whala, a new xhair!


or just take the easy way, look for a hud with an xhair

No. Let n00bs pick overly destructive Human weapons and then use them in their own base and around their own teammates. Maybe then they'll learn that doing that is a stupid idea. Meanwhile, I will be slashing at their damaged Armoury, after I vault their smoking turrets and the scattered bodies of their TK' d teammates. N00bs: they're what's for breakfast.

Don't decompress your data-1.1.0.pk3, and sure as hell do not edit it. Do this, and you won't be able to play on pure servers.

Make a seperate .pk3 with your new crosshair and put that in your base folder.
