dwarfmaster1974 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Hi all, this is actually more an attempt or a suggestion than a really finished mod. Because in principle I find (especially with a 4K screen) the target crosses in the game much too small and sometimes barely visible. May of course be due to my advanced age, but especially with larger hordes, I just do not see the thing. For my part, of course, I would like to see here possibly reignite a discussion that has already been held 1000 times, that the game (like so many other games) offers a configuration for something like this. Anyway. Here is the download: github.com - dwarfmaster-crosshair Solved is in principle quite simple. The old target cross is switched off as far as it goes, and the new one is just a correctly positioned character at the end Edited October 1, 2022 by dwarfmaster1974 add picture with aiming in the sky (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarfmaster1974 Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Hi @HYper, Thanks for your feedback. I honestly didn't think about the vehicles at all. I would have to look in detail if there are variables that allow to hide things in vehicle mode. Best regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarfmaster1974 Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Hi @HYper, after a little research, I think I found it. In the file `windows.xml` make the following change: `<rect>` becomes `<rect controller="HUDStatBar" stat_type="VehicleHealth" visible="{#!statvisible}">` This means that when a vehicle health is displayed, the crosshair is hidden and this is only displayed when you are sitting and driving on the vehicle I have also customized this on Github. So a new download would do as well. Best regards Edited October 5, 2022 by dwarfmaster1974 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robcat DeGaul Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Howdy DM'74. As one of the more (shall we say) distinguished gentleman of gaming, I whole heartedly understand the losses one has over time. When you get to be my age (I got a strong fellin' that I got about ten years on ya 😉 ) your hearin' is worse then ya eyesight. But that don't mean that yer eyes is gettin any better! As an old dog, I just ain't got much interest in learnin new codes. I gave up chasing new languages in the early '80's when the were programming a new language every 8 months. So, that being, my desire is: I was hoping this "targeting sight" improvement might become a Mod that would allow you to change the aiming point in terms of style (+, x, dot, bullseye {such as you have}, post with two side posts {all 3 bracketing the target}, ect..), AND (more important to me) the ability to change the color of the aim point. I find that often the sight point blends into the background (I have the same issue with the text when greyed-out, or similar backdrop colors). It would be a vast improvement for me, jut to be able to change the color to red, or purple, choice of standard colors, even... lime green? (maybe not.) Have yerself a good one, and keep the powder dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarfmaster1974 Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Howdy @Robcat DeGaul, thank you for your input. Regarding the color, the solution is quite simple. In the file `/Config/XUi/windows.xml` you will find the following 2 lines: <text_outline depth="1" x="49" y="-49" distance="2" size="50,50" text_color="255,255,255" shadow_color="0,0,0" text="●" font_size="3"/> <text_outline depth="1" x="30" y="-33" distance="2" size="50,50" text_color="255,255,255" shadow_color="0,0,0" text="○" font_size="40"/> The first line is the dot in the middle, and the second line is the surrounding circle. There, you can change the attribute `text_color` to your favorite color. To find the appropriate color code I always use this page here: https://encycolorpedia.de/, but if it should be the color red it should look like this: `text_color="255,0,0"` and for example for lime it would be `text_color="0,255,0"`. As for the exchange of the characters, you have to try a little bit. The respective attribute `text` exchanges the content from dot to e.g. '+' and with `font_size` you can change the size in pixels. Maybe you have to adjust the attributes x and y a little bit. Of course, you can also do something like `text="( )"`, there are no restrictions. I hope this helps you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
