I just tried Hideyoshi's Mortar ladder for the mumble overlay - It's 10 kinds of awesome!

So much better as a grenadier - It's great for gauging the range of your shots.

Here's my attempt, it hides some of the moving parts

Here is a version that includes several colors, works both in mumbley and playclaw... you might need to edit the "default" notepad file *FOR PLAYCLAW USERS ONLY* to adjust it to your screen resolution (Mine is 1366x768).

I'm trying to use the crosshair u like but in Yellow Seasonz and I'm having trouble making it centre. The vertical line is dead on, but the horizontal line is slightly raised up from the center of the crosshair. I don't know which setting to turn down or up been trying different things to no avail. What's your settings for PlayClaw please. My screen res is 1366x786. Picture is below.

These are the settings I'm currently on

This is what it looks like atm.

I did found a quick fix for this though. I have to press set appearance, and not close it while Hawken is running and I drag the crosshair down a bit, check if its ok. When it fits, I close the set appearance and it sets in that position for the duration I'm on Hawken. Rather lame if you ask me though. Thanks for your help and Crosshairs.

New player here, and just wanted to post an OMGTYVM to Umbre for posting this method, and all you who have contributed to this thread.

This overlay makes a massive difference in visibility for me. I couldn't see the stock reticle at all, and needed some kind of visual reference to center my fire. This work great! It's unobtrusive, and allows me to find my aim, which was practically impossible with the low-contrast stock reticle.

I don't see this as a cheat or hack, as it is only providing the visibility that should be there in a functional UI/HUD. I'll look forward to the dev's implementation of colorizing crosshairs, but have seen such quality crosshair work in other games, that I agree this should be an allowed area for ongoing community contribution, and not strictly for in-game monetization. It's great to have several people contributing different styles/colors, since a reticle is a highly personal "taste", and will only increase the enjoyment of the game, especially for those of us who have been squinting at a monitor for 20+ years.

Thanks again all! Really enjoying the game, and now maybe I can hit that barn.

You guys are obsessing about cheating when cheating really is an objective matter, in my opinion, waste of a thread.

Why use Mumble_ It's no fun having to bend over backwards just to do a custom job on your UI.

Bit late, mate

Anyway this whole thread is now semi-irrelevant due to it being supported in game. Without it however, that might not have happened so a HUGE thankyou to all the posters and support this thread got. I was always too lazy to run another program every time I felt like playing a couple of games but had huge issues seeing the default crosshairs.

The new customisable system is infinitely better, thankyou.
