This was my post in the other forum, It might be handy.

There is another way of doing your crosshair-color, this way you can get a more specific color:

I'll start by explaining the meanings.

If you do cg_crosshairRGBA 255,255,255,1 you get a black crosshair, 1,1,1,1 would make white, so this is totaly different.

I'll start 1 by 1:

/cg_crosshairRGBA xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx

All these "xxx"s Have a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 255. There is already told what happens if you put all of these on 1 (It becomes white).

(Default /cg_crosshairRGBA 1,1,1,1)
/cg_crosshairRGBA xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx - If you put this xxx to 255 = Lightblue.

/cg_crosshairRGBA xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx - If you put this xxx to 255 = Pink.

/cg_crosshairRGBA xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx - If you put this xxx to 255 = Yellow

/cg_crosshairRGBA xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx - If you put this xxx to 255 = You won't see anything, because this one is for the visibilty of your crosshair. So I recommand to keep this 1, because the closer you go to 255 the less your crosshair will be visible. (This is only for this part of the xxx!!!)

Now for the first three xxx:

1 means none of the color (white) and 255 means the full color.
So for example if you take the first xxx (the lightblue one), and 255 is lightblue and 1 is white, then 150 will become a bit lighter (a bit more close to white).
This also counts for the 2nd and the 3rd xxx.

Now if you want Blue, you can mix the Lightblue and the Pink up, so all you have to do is: /cg_CrosshairRGBA 255,255,1,1.

For Green you mix Lightblue and Yellow, so now you do: /cg_crosshairRGBA 255,1,255,1.

For Red you mix Pink and Yellow, so now you do: /cg_crosshairRGBA 1,255,255,1.

And this is my last example to make things more clear: If you try /cg_crosshairRGBA 100,200,255,1 you get some kind of Brown

Anyway eventhough this is more complicated and I don't use this myself, you can get a more specific color by playing with the xxx's between 1 and 255.

Peace Out!

[Edit] Thanks to sKul I found out that the 0 is actualy infinite so the highest possible number, in this case 255, so for example when you do Green = /cg_CrosshairRGBA 0,1,0,1 and replace the 0's with 255's with 0's you get 255,1,255,1 and this is the same as you can read above. Either way you can use 255 or 0 as maximum.

Peace Out

How about this easier one ? By Niclas.


To change the crosshair color

You can change the crosshair color to help you see it more clearly. To do it, go in your console while in the game and type:

cg_crosshairRGBA “X,X,X,X”

Replace the Xs with the code corresponding the color you want.

0,0,0,0 none (not recommended)
0,0,0,1 black
0,0,1,1 blue
0,1,0,1 green
0,1,1,1 turquoise
1,0,0,1 red
1,0,1,1 pink
1,1,0,1 yellow
1,1,1,1 white

Setting a smaller crosshair

Instead of using the dot crosshair, you can make your favorite one smaller. So in the console type:

cg_crosshairsize 17 for example

[MiniMan]

nice

[skyloline]

no, with baris tutorial you can create your own color for crosshair.

[VARIMR]

it doesnt mather do you put it 255 or 1, cuz 1 is always max. and its from 0 to 1, so the mixing you can do like 0,5.1.0,5.1. (see the dots (.) and points (,).

[Luigiz]

Both are good

Sort of related, check this site out for all the different combinations of text colors you can type in SOF console. There is actually 2 colors for each button because the color changes if you hold shift down or don't.

http://www.hydrous.n...e-2-name-colors

Also there was a great website that had hundreds of different combinations of colors you can make your crosshair in SOF, but I think it is closed down now. Varimr is actually right because if you use numbers with decimals it changes the hue of the color slightly, so theres actually probably over 256 crosshair color combinations possible. This was the website:

a good tip is to open photoshop or paint and select any color from the color picker and check its RGB values

[Sohi]

so is there a way to create purple or dark orange?

[Koffee]

i played the colours a bit and found some

cg_crosshairRGBA 43,120,162²,1 is light-pink
cg_crosshairRGBA 255,225,255,1 is normal green (bit darker than normal green so it isn't flashy)

[project]

yes read topic...

[Museki]

[Sohi]

Read this and then read the first post, that should explain things.

You can create purple by mixing red and blue. So: "cg_crosshairRGBA", "1,0,1,1"
For dark orange: "cg_crosshairRGBA", "255, 140,0,1"
First hit from Google: http://www.tayloredmktg.com/rgb/

This may sound weird, but sof2 doesn't exactly work like this. For example /cg_crosshairRGBA 1,1,255,1 = Yellow. If you check yellow in HTML it will give you 255-255-0. So as you can see it's basically the opposite the "1's" are 255 and the 255 = 0. So if we take Max code for dark orange --> 255, 140,0,1 and change it, 1,(255-140)115,255,1 should be dark orange. Try it Dr Ace --> 1,115,255,1

It works thanks

[Sohi]

how about this 1?
Violet Red 208-32-144 d02090

[BariS]

Like I said just do 255- minus everything you put there and add 1 at the end. So 255-208, 255-32, 255-144,1 This gives --> cg_crosshairRGBA 47,223,158,1
