Title: BIS Cross-Hair for CutRsc?
Post by: Raptorsaurus on 19 Sep 2005, 00:40:31

I want to use the standard cross-hair from in game as a CutRsc during a cut-scene.  I know I could use it if I defined it as a TitleRsc (RscPicture) in the Description.ext, but I do not know what the texture file name is.  I was searching for it amongst the .paa and .pac in the Data folder, but it is probably named in Czech, because I cannot pick it out.  Does anyone know the texture file name for the standard cross-hair (the cross hair on screen when you are not looking through any optics).

Thanks.

I don't think this uses textures, I think it is set in the resource.bin file.

As far as I can see, no texture is involved.

bored_onion,

Thanks, I can use these elsewhere, but what I am after is the normal cross-hair that shows on screen when you are NOT looking through the weapon.  But maybe Plank is right and it is not done with a texture, no matter I will just make a new texture image that imitates it.  I will leave this un-solved for a few more days, just in case someone does come up with it.

Thanks All.

Sorry, didn't want to create new thread because my question is related to this one. :-[ Is it possible to make your own cross-hairs to missions? If yes, how?

I think he means the simulated crosshairs on the main menu when OFP has finished loading.

The one that separates the various menu functions.......Mission Editor.........Multiplayer.......Options.......etc etc.

oh i see...

have you had a look at switch camera? there's a tut in the ed depot that will explain it if you haven't already seen it. this will give you a first person view complete with crosshairs. the bad side is you must attach it to a loon. other than that, ignore me and take the advice of more learned OFPECers

Ahhhh......it seems that once again I have misinterpreted the original question.......or maybe I should have just read it more thoroughly.  ::)

A sign of impending old age perhaps?   :-\
