eaxs's Crosshair Mod

[eaxs]

This mod allows you to have an individual crosshair for almost each ability in the game.
There are two things you need to get this working:

- The mod file
- A set of crosshairs

Info: Works with S2 v2.0 now. To update, simply download and install the mod again. It will overwrite the old file.

*** INSTALLATION ***
First, download the crosshair mod. Extract the package to:
Windows XP = \Documents and Setting\<user>\Documents\Savage 2 - A Tortured Soul
Windows Vista = <user>\Documents\Savage 2 - A Tortured Soul
Linux = <home>/.savage2
MAC = ?

Once you have that, you must download a crosshair set and extract it into the same
directory as mentioned above.

*** CROSSHAIR SETS ***
Set 1 (see preview below)
made by eaxs

*** HOW CAN I USE THIS WITH STANZ UI OR THE LOCALIZATION MOD? ***
It's really easy to implent the mod into any other. Just follow these instructions:
Navigate to: <path to documents/savage 2>/game/ui/ and open the file called "game.xml" with any text-editor.
Search for this line:

<!-- Crosshair -->

Below this line you should see an image (<image>) tag. Replace it with this one:

<image name="crosshair_bg" width="64" height="64" align="center" valign="center" watch="Entity SelectedItem" ontrigger="SetTexture('/ui/elements/'#Entity#'_'#SelectedItem#'.tga');" texture="/ui/elements/3rd_xhair.tga" color="#FFFFFF66"/>

That's it. Now you can install any crosshair set you want

*** HOW DO I MAKE MY OWN CROSSHAIRS? ***
- You need an image editing tool that allows you to create transparent TGA files
- All crosshairs must be saved in TGA format
- All crosshairs must be 64x64px
- You must have a crosshair for each ability. Missing crosshairs will be shown as checker texture.
- I recommend you build your set based on mine. Saves you some time
- Place your new crosshairs in: <path to documents/savage 2>/game/ui/elements

needs more bar-timer-thingy!

other than that it's a pwn mod if you get used to it (tho I think some of your xhairs are a bit big(?))
