like the ammo icons are big back in 2004

What about the Non-Episodic (2004) Pickup History?

crosshair is dogshit

U can also upload their mod or modify it as private mod in steam workshop however only for personal use though so it's private

@SleepyNotDead

Many thanks for the instructions though, crosshair properly goes away in the airboat.

This seems to work, much appreciated.

I already use a custom folder, any mod from the workshop i just extract their files into the custom folder. This method keeps the files safe so that in the event someone deletes their work on the workshop, i will still keep the files.

@SleepyNotDead
ok, now i understand how it works.

1. open hud_textures.txt file in Half-Life 2\hl2\scripts folder
2. find the plushair section and change the values ​​as follows:

"character" "Q" --> "character" " "

If you want to use it in episode 2, you will have to copy the hud_textures.txt file to your custom folder:

1. open Half-Life 2\hl2 folder
2. create custom\no_airboat_crosshair\scripts folders
3. copy hud_textures.txt file to scripts folder

Wait, THIS mod does it, maybe "borrow" their homework a bit, wouldn't be compatible with this mod which is why i dont use it.

Ah, damn..

@SleepyNotDead
sorry but i have no idea how to hide it. even crosshair 0 command doesn't work.

Can you tweak it so that theres no longer the default crosshair when on the airboat? always bugged me, i love everything else this mod does.

@DarkSide360 hud_draw_fixed_reticle 1

I wish someone would make a mod that adds the xbox crosshair.

Alright thank you!

@Desano
if you're going to publish this, please write in the description that the mod is made for 1080p. it will look different in other resolutions.

@Trollfacegaming90 yes

I think i can release this crosshair as a mod in workshop.

@Desano

It worked thanks!

I'll try this thank you for tutorial!

@Desano
1. open clientscheme.res file in Half-Life 2\hl2_complete\resource folder.
2. find the Crosshair section and change the values ​​as follows:

"tall" "40" [!$OSX] --> "tall" "60" [!$OSX]
antialias" "0" --> "antialias" "1"

if you want to use it with the hud recolor mod, you will have to get the custom clientscheme.res file before making changes:

1. download and install GCFScape [nemstools.github.io]
2. open steamapps\workshop\content\220 folder.
3. the mod folder you are looking for should have the same numbers as the mod URL.
for example, PLEASANT ORANGE HUD has URL 3373398087 .
4. open workshop_dir.vpk and find clientscheme.res file.
5. make a backup copy of the original clientscheme.res file.
6. drag custom file into Half-Life 2\hl2_complete\resource folder.

1920x1080

@Desano
what screen resolution do you want to use?

@william09703
I never noticed this problem.

@The Pacer
but steam deck doesn't have health and suit icons...

does this fix the issue that some ui are put too low? I noticed especially pick up ammo message would disappear like half of it

appearantly yeah however is there a way to make it like that without changing resolution?

@Desano
i think the crosshair on e3 2003 looks like that because the game is running at a lower resolution. so try lowering the resolution to 720p.

Can you make a version where "HEALTH" and "SUIT" are replaced with icons instead, like on the Steam Deck?

I have another question is there anyway to make crosshair that 4-5 small dots bigger like how it looked like in E3 2003 video?

@Desano
nevermind, i found a way to implement recolor support. Resource Vanilla should work, you just installed it incorrectly.

@DitieBun

kinda pretty

I see. If you put this mod above pleasant orange or below (I think) It will work semi however a few things will be broken. However i don't mind the colors It'd be cool if you could get chance to integrate with resource vanilla mod though where crossbow, ar2 ball hud, etc got fixed there.

@Desano
thanks for the feedback! as far as I know, changing the color requires editing hudanimations.txt, so unfortunately you'll have to edit an existing mod.

Doesn't work with Resource vanilla though it would be great to integrate both

Nice

works with the pleasant orange mod

Much better hud that would fit for Anniversary update. Does it support color changes as well?
