[TEC] Deck Gun Crosshairs

LukeFF · 09-14-08, 04:51 AM

What line in the Menu_1024_768 INI file controls the placement of the red deck gun crosshairs? I want to get rid of those things once and for all.

The red deck gun crosshairs (from the deck-view of the gun) simulates where the gun pointer is looking. Without the crosshairs, you would have no idea where to start aiming the gun before changing to reticle view, except in the most general way. Its not very accurate (unless you're shooting at a real close sampan), but it is a starting point. Why would you want to get rid of it?

Im sorry I cant help you, I didn`t find it either while I was making my "real deckgun" mod. I believe is hardcoded.

The deck gun cross-hair is drawn by means of C++ calls to DirectX routines and can't be removed.

I suspect like SH3 there hard coded and that is that.

i remember when i was trying to change the color of the scope crosshairs from black to green i found that if i changed the color of the lines in the image files and didnt make any change to the alpha channel it caused the lines to become invisable.

im not saying it will work LukeFF but it just might be worth playing around with to see if you can get a simular result for the deck gun.

So, it works differently from the binocular crosshairs? There's nothing in the INI file that controls their placement?
