Hello , many of you guys have the crosshair problem in the DiamonD HD pack for half life
there is 2 problem the first is that sometimes there is a big black square and inside it the crosshair is there and the second problem is that some of you don't like that ugly crosshair (my opinion)
so i tried and tried and tried and found a fix to replace it with the default half life crosshair or any crosshair you want .
Just follow these instructions :
- Go to your half life folder
- go to the folder Named Valve
- open the folder named sprites and you get a path like this (D:\(your name)\Games\HALF LIFE\valve\sprites)
- select all text files (.txt) that start with weapon_(name of the gun here) like "weapon_357.txt"
- Delete them
- Download this rar file from mediafire (http://sh.st/H3nsP)
- Extract it
- Copy all text files (.txt)
- put them in your (D:\(your name)\Games\HALF LIFE\valve\sprites) folder
now your crosshair will use the default crosshair.spr file in your sprite folder to install a custom crosshair choose and download one from here : Sh.st
to install your downloaded crosshair do that :
How to Replace the HL crosshairs.spr File
In your half-life folder is a folder called valve, and inside that is a folder called sprites. Create a sprites folder if it's not there. Or if you're playing through Steam, follow this path to find the spritesfolder: Steam\SteamApps\youraccountname\half-life\valve\sprites. Delete or rename any crosshairs.spr file already in your sprites folder FIRST. Do NOT delete any other files in the spritesfolder. Download a new set of crosshairs from HL pages 1 thru 3 here by clicking on it's picture or text link. Then put your newcrosshairs.spr file in the sprites folder. Most of the downloads are in .spr format. A few are zipped so you'll need to extract the .spr file from the zip. See the link to Winzip on the left if you need an unzipper. Most are also already named crosshairs.spr, but a few may have other file names. Just rename them to crosshairs.spr, if necessary
The directory structure should look like this when done:
half-life\valve\sprites\crosshairs.spr
(preceded by the drive letter and folder you installed in, ie: C:\Sierra\, C:\Games\, etc.)
