View Full Version : Custom Calibrated Crosshair

07-12-2013, 07:39 AM
I have for a long time been frustrated with how bad the default UT99 dot crosshair is not calibrated correctly, so i made a custom crosshair with higher calibration for more accurate long range shots, took a lot of testing but now it is practically perfect in long and short range as in, what the dot is pointing at is where your shot hits.


this is what i mean, in the images below i did not move the player at all.

calibrated dot aimed at the centre of the darker square from a fair distance away and fired off a single shot with sniper


http://hof.site.nfoservers.com/DL/Calibrated%20dot.jpg

this is where it hit and that would be a head shot and where the dot was pointing.

http://hof.site.nfoservers.com/DL/Calibrated%20dot%20zoom.jpg

then i do the same with the default dot, again, player not moved an inch, just lined up dot in centre of square and again fired off a single shot.

http://hof.site.nfoservers.com/DL/Default%20Dot.jpg

This is where it actually hits when i zoom in and look

http://hof.site.nfoservers.com/DL/default%20dot%20zoomed.jpg


now you see the difference, this has hugely improved my accuracy


This is simply a texture set as a crosshair, no tweaks or any kind of hack, just fixing the default dot.

if anyone would like to have this then i have provided a link for you to download the texture file, extract the .utx, then simply place it in UnrealTournament/Textures

Then open the USER.ini with notepad located in UnrealTournament/System.

look for

[Botpack.ChallengeHUD]

and add the custom crosshair like so...

CrosshairCount=10 //<- change from 9 to 10 (or just add 1 if you run custom crosshairs, i.e CrosshairCount=15 change that to 16)
CrossHairs[0]=Botpack.CHair1
CrossHairs[1]=Botpack.CHair2
CrossHairs[2]=Botpack.CHair3
CrossHairs[3]=Botpack.CHair4
CrossHairs[4]=Botpack.CHair5
CrossHairs[5]=Botpack.CHair6
CrossHairs[6]=Botpack.CHair7
CrossHairs[7]=Botpack.CHair8
CrossHairs[8]=Botpack.CHair9
CrossHairs[9]=FLXH.FLXH //<--- add this at the next available empty slot in the list
CrossHairs[10]=
CrossHairs[11]=
CrossHairs[12]=

then close and save.

Then Run UT and the calibrated dot will be the last one (slider completely to the right) in Preferences, HUD, crosshair types

download link for the FLXH.utx --> http://www.numismaddicts.co.uk/fluke/CalibratedDotXHair.zip

it has made a huge difference to my accuracy and i highly recommend players who use the dot to try this one so you can see for yourself how much more accurate it is compared to the stock UT dot, it is also quite bright with high contrast

ps: that test was done in 1680x1050 resolution, hence why the default dot looks large but the place it hits is the same in any other resolution.

Thanks for this but the dot looks abit small than the old one?

Also many cheat protections stop custom xhairs from being used on some servers and it usually resets to some default xhair

Ive tried it out,its way to transparent for me.Can u make it less transparent? The accuracy is ok,better then the dot im using now.

Just center your weapon.
The crosshair moves to the right or to the left if your weapon is on one of those positions.

incorrect, Anticheats look for custom HUD extensions, this is a texture and nothing to do with HUD directly, i have used custom XHairs for years.

|uK|Diablo : Hmm, thats strange, its perfect on mine, what resolution do you use? can you show me a SS?

Banny it depends on your resolution, like i put in the first post, my resolution in game is 1680x1050

Higor, that is true but most people i know use right hand weapon hand and this wasnt considered with the HUD crosshairs.

that is weird diablo, looks like a renderer fault though, maybe if more download and try it then it might shed some light as to why you get this, i checked it on mine with OGL all resolutions and it was fine on all of them, so i dont really know what to suggest, transparency is set client side, that's what makes me think its your renderer settings.

~V~ I have been playing since dec 1999 and i have used custom crosshairs since 2000 and I have never seen or know of any anticheat that can pick up a custom crosshair for any reason at all, its when the canvas is altered, THEN you may get kicked, how about you show me where this so called anticheat is and we will see who is right, especially as i have used every anticheat known to UT since 2004 as that is when i first coded RocketX and invested in my own server, the whole time using custom cross hairs, so no "Thanks" necessary.

On siege server, maybe, but combo server doesnt let me use custom xhairs, it just reset it to a default one, as ~V~said

Thats weird because i have used custom crosshairs with EUT, pure, Anthchecker, UTDC and ACE and never had a problem, i have ran all of them on my servers as some point and pretty much always use a custom mini + crosshair

I only recently changed to the dot recently.

~~D4RR3N~~ thats odd, i play on combo and it never changes my Xhair.

Do i have some hax i dont know about?..:S

was probably crosshairs that were part of the serverside packages or whitelisted as safe

][X][~FLuKE~][X][
07-14-2013, 05:19 AM
as long as you have extracted the FLXH.utx into your textures folder then you shouldn't have an issue.

you can replace the sections in your ini that I have posted at the bottom of this post and then you can select it in HUD options in UT.

|uK|B|aZe//. if you use Right weapon hand blaze then this makes the shot a lot more accurate especially at long range, my aim has improved by at lease 50% since using this, This crosshair is only for Right weapon hand users and if you love the normal ut dot then this one will make you change for sure, I no longer have to zoom with sniper to get long range hits and the accuracy is spot on.

'Zac if you still have problems with the crosshair then let me know and i will do it for you, but replacing the lines in your User.ini with what i posted below should solve it.

|uK|Diablo I think i may have found your problem, look at the pic below ( I notice you use green dot) , check the HUD tab in options, make sure the "CrossHair Color Green" Slider is all the way to the right, the lower the slider is, the more transparent the crosshair will be. check that setting as this is the only thing i could find within UT which makes the crosshair transparent

http://hof.site.nfoservers.com/DL/XhairTrans.jpg


Also I must stress the images in my first post are for 1680x1050 and that is the biggest the crosshair is, lower resolutions will make it even smaller, but not unusable, the smallest i have seen it is like the head of a pin but as long as you are using a decent color for your crosshair then it wont matter (I personally think gold is the best color for a crosshair)

if you think nothing is better than the UT dot, then you will love this crosshair.

again just in case people skip the info in my posts, this is better for High Resolutions mainly, lower resolutions will shrink it and make it harder for you to use, you can see in my first post how big the cross hair is for me and is for RIGHT WEAPON HAND only!!!

I am surprised in this day and age that most UT players don't use a higher resolution.

you can correct crosshair scale with the following command just play around with it with this crosshair of flukes and it will scale up or down

if its too small

mutate ace crosshair scale 1.0 or 2.0 or 3.0 or 2.5 etc etc whatever size you want keep going up

if too big follow the above but backwards so from like 2.0 to 1.0 to 0 to -1.0 -2.0 etc

and thanks anyway but the crosshair I use for weapons ctf non zp and siege are different cause I aim differently between both mods

changes their FOV because its out of the range most likely i.e. below 80 or above 120...

HUD could be scaling issues with the crosshair and stuff

is it necessary to use the tested resolution? in the resolution i'm using the shots are hitting low and to the right

no, res in "theory" shouldn't make any difference but seems to have proven troublesome for a few people with the dot expanding and turning transparent, this crosshair is a solid color, there is no transparency unless it is set in the HUD settings.

First thing in case you missed it, this crosshair is for Right Hand weapon users ONLY, if you are hidden, center or left then the shot will be off target, center and hidden is already dead on, this one is for Right hand users only, if it is not hitting dead on with dot from any range then you are not using my Xhair.

I have replicated the green (gold for me) faded dot but only in one resolution setting and have no clue why that is happening seeing as it is a simple texture which is black and white, seems some resolutions stretch the Xhair way bigger than it should be, it has worked perfectly for me since day one, made a huge improvement to my aim.

I have remade it if anyone wants to try it and let me know if the large faded dot appears, it shouldn't as I have just spent the last 30 mins checking every single resolution, this time no large faded dot in any Resolution.
