Publishing my own crosshair doesn't work. While my files do.

Hello,

I've been trying to make my own crosshair but I can't get a new steam workshop item to work. I tested the files by downloading an existing mod NOT made by me and overwriting the files.

However, when I try to publish my own crosshair mod it simply loads the default crosshairs. The "compatibility" option "Passed Default Consistency" is selected. I'm really confused. The folder structure is exactly the same as the other 2 custom crosshair on the workshop I tried. Anyone got a solution for this?

Sincerely,

Lifell

If you want to change your own crosshair (without making a mod) you just need to replace the files in ns2/ui/
(crosshairs.dds and crosshairs-hit.dds )

Publishing a crosshair as a mod is pretty easy - since I made my crosshair recently.
Just start launchpad.exe, put these DDS Files not in source, but in the output folder... and publish it...

After that you need to subscribe the mod in the steam workshop first AND activate the Mod in the NS2 Main Menu in "Mods" first. Before that it won't be activated.
(Can be read up here) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=802509066

If you have questions, just go into the #modding Channel in Discord (https://discord.gg/ZphJK). There are plenty of more experienced guys who can help you.

Using a crosshair without a mod has the advantage that you don't need to reactivate the Mod after every patch, since they're deactivated by default

To be able to use your mod it has to be public. Private and friends only mods do currently not work with natural selection 2. The game client will fail to download any non public mods.
