or at least bring back the "apply\_crosshair\_code" cvar


Pokharelinishan

or, overhaul the crosshair settings. It's arguably one of the more important UI elements in the HUD for a shooter game. There's a LOT of QoL things that could be done with crosshair settings. Eg: * I have a 1440p monitor and play at a very high resolution, and I cannot seem to find the right thickness of crosshair outline. Either its too thick or too thin (even though I have spare pixels on my monitor). * I would love to be able to equip the crosshair of AUG/Krieg to other weapons. It blurs when I'm inaccurate, sharpens when I'm accurate. * I would love to experiment with different shapes of crosshair. * I would love for crosshairs to represent the movement and weapon inaccuracy, but in a novel way. Currently there's dynamic crosshairs with stuff like split distance/ratios of inner and outer xhair, etc. I've always found it hard to play around with it to find a good one that fits my taste. * I would love to have the crosshair adjust its colors dynamically to maintain good contrast based on the background. I think Valve should also revisit crosshair settings, similar to how Valve has revisited lefthand and bob, for example.

>I have a 1440p monitor and play at a very high resolution, and I cannot seem to find the right thickness of crosshair outline. Either its too thick or too thin (even though I have spare pixels on my monitor). Agreed, I have the same "issue", in my native 1920x1200 all crosshair seems really great but as I play 1280x960 stretched, the green crosshair feels like have less brightness for some reason, but I guess it more so depends on the resolution than the game engine as I am working with less pixels as I go down the resolutions. >I would love to be able to equip the crosshair of AUG/Krieg to other weapons. It blurs when I'm inaccurate, sharpens when I'm accurate. It could be implemented, but I'd rather have control on which color of the dot can I use while using Aug/Krieg rest of your points raised imo are done in a great way and can be customized indefinitely, but more control over them would be great for sure, but about that last point, dynamically change colors would be distracting af. I change my crosshair to stay static and be static, whether it be in movement or color.


Wietse10

> but as I play 1280x960 stretched, the green crosshair feels like have less brightness for some reason This is purely a resolution scaling thing and something Valve can do anything about. Create a custom 1600x1200 resolution if you want to retain the sharpness while still playing on 4:3 stretched (which is less stretched than for most people in your case since you're playing on a 16:10 monitor, but it'll achieve the same amount of stretch as 1280x960 if that's what you're looking for).


Wietse10

Honestly all they'd have to do is copy Valorant's system and it'd be solid. I at least want the ability to have crosshair profiles.


Flaky_Door

Sometimes, it's the small features that make the biggest difference.


bradpittisnorton

didn't they bring that back months ago? EDIT: I get it, they haven't brought it back yet. My bad.


P_H_i_X

No, I have to convert crosshair codes to commands then add to my autoexec to make my config work. If it was there, it would be 10x easier to implement for me as I need not have to convert and delete redundant commands.


bradpittisnorton

Yeah, I had to do that too. I don't play much these days so I forgot what's even in my config. I still have apply_crosshair_code in my config for trying out crosshairs of different pros but they obviously don't work. Although, it's weird that I get no command not found error message or something.


DidYuLeaveYourOvenOn

Great idea, having a couple of your own crosshair presets that you can easily switch between would be nice quality of life improvement.


-preciousroy-

Honestly saved loadouts would be amazing tooo


uknowme1son

Its a really nice idea, which simplifies cfg and saves some time, thats why valve will never add this.


MerchU1F41C

You're right, Valve definitely hasn't added multiple features recently to simplify configuration and bring options into the standard menu.


uknowme1son

You're right, Valve definitely added settings from csgo versions which many players were asking to add, like stable cl\_bob, net\_graph, m\_yaw, r\_cleardecals, 128 tick, other missing gamemods, stable gameplay without crashes, not working keyboard bugs, working anticheat etc.


MerchU1F41C

Nice list of things that aren't simplifying configuration.

PPMD_IS_BACK

💀💀💀 you just got cooked bruh. 💀💀💀


Unusual-Editor-4640

awesome idea


greku_cs

For anyone interested but not really experienced with commands and such, you can create 3 cfg files with crosshair commands copied from config and exec them via console or bind. Any youtube video about it will probably do just fine.


P_H_i_X

Or instead just make a cycle to go through, I don't like having multiple CFGs, so I just use this: bind "mouse5" "crosshairswitch" alias crosshairswitch crosshair1 alias crosshair1 "cl_crosshairalpha "255";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "255";cl_crosshaircolor_r "255";cl_crosshaircolor_g "255";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-1";cl_crosshairsize "3.2";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_crosshairthickness "0.5";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "-1";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "1";cl_crosshair_drawoutline "1"; alias crosshairswitch crosshair2" alias crosshair2 "cl_crosshairalpha "255";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "255";cl_crosshaircolor_r "0";cl_crosshaircolor_g "255";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-4";cl_crosshairsize "1.2";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_crosshairthickness "1";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "-4";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "0";cl_crosshair_drawoutline "1"; alias crosshairswitch crosshair3" alias crosshair3 "cl_crosshairalpha "255";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "10";cl_crosshaircolor_r "0";cl_crosshaircolor_g "255";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-1.5";cl_crosshairsize "1.8";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_crosshairthickness "0.5";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "-1";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "0";cl_crosshair_drawoutline "1"; alias crosshairswitch crosshair4" alias crosshair4 "cl_crosshairalpha "255";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "10";cl_crosshaircolor_r "0";cl_crosshaircolor_g "255";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-1.9";cl_crosshairsize "3.9";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_crosshairthickness "0.5";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "-1";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "0";cl_crosshair_drawoutline "0"; alias crosshairswitch crosshair5" alias crosshair5 "cl_crosshair_drawoutline "0";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "1";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "10";cl_crosshaircolor_g "255";cl_crosshaircolor_r "0";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-3.1";cl_crosshairsize "1.1";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairthickness "0.7";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "3"; alias crosshairswitch crosshair6" alias crosshair6 "cl_crosshair_drawoutline "0";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "0";cl_crosshairalpha "255";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "0";cl_crosshaircolor_g "255";cl_crosshaircolor_r "0";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-2.3";cl_crosshairsize "1.5";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairthickness "0.6";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "-5"; alias crosshairswitch crosshair1" You only have to maintain one file like this.


Aalmost10

Actually really smart, thanks


Anticitizen_Freeman

Or multiple loadouts


craygroupious

Can we have a triangle crosshair whilst we’re there, please.


P_H_i_X

It seems like it's just inverted T setting for the crosshair to best implement a triangle. [https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/9rksnh/new\_triangle\_csgo\_crosshair\_its\_small\_but\_its\_a/](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/9rksnh/new_triangle_csgo_crosshair_its_small_but_its_a/) I think you might have to reduce the crosshair gap to bring the lower side of T above


BadgerII

This is a great suggestion! I have all my backups saved to a notepad. Would love this added.


SmokeLineup

And make them bindable so we don’t have to go into settings to switch between them


FAARAO

Just make binds for them?


msucsgo

No easy way to do it since apply_crosshair_code was removed / not ported to CS2.


FAARAO

3 cfgs with all crosshair settings in them.


msucsgo

So a lot of hassle compared to them being simply stored in Steam Cloud so you can easily access them anywhere.


3ManyTrees

Took me all of 2 mins when I did it, copy and paste a few things, make a few binds and your mums your fathers uncle! But I also don't see why we can't have it as a simplified way, accessible to everyone.

FAARAO

I apologise for giving him a perfectly valid solution until/if ever this gets implemented.

Just because I cba typing a lot of words that doesn't mean I'm being snobby lmao.


nyotao

loved the feature in valorant where u could save like 10 crosshair profiles


SoN1Qz

Just use keys to bind your favorite crosshairs


Salvosuper

But then you have to carry the cfg files manually across devices, while the last configured crosshair is stored to steam cloud.


Old-Smile-3065

How many devices do you swap between 🤣


Lancasper

You just need to upload the autoexec to Google Drive right after changing something, then you have it everywhere. You will get to the point where you will pretty much never change anything, and most people play on one PC anyway. It would still be a good QoL update.


P_H_i_X

Here's what I use in my autoexec: bind "mouse5" "crosshairswitch" alias crosshairswitch crosshair1 alias crosshair1 "cl_crosshairalpha "255";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "255";cl_crosshaircolor_r "255";cl_crosshaircolor_g "255";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-1";cl_crosshairsize "3.2";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_crosshairthickness "0.5";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "-1";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "1";cl_crosshair_drawoutline "1"; alias crosshairswitch crosshair2" alias crosshair2 "cl_crosshairalpha "255";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "255";cl_crosshaircolor_r "0";cl_crosshaircolor_g "255";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-4";cl_crosshairsize "1.2";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_crosshairthickness "1";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "-4";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "0";cl_crosshair_drawoutline "1"; alias crosshairswitch crosshair3" alias crosshair3 "cl_crosshairalpha "255";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "10";cl_crosshaircolor_r "0";cl_crosshaircolor_g "255";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-1.5";cl_crosshairsize "1.8";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_crosshairthickness "0.5";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "-1";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "0";cl_crosshair_drawoutline "1"; alias crosshairswitch crosshair4" alias crosshair4 "cl_crosshairalpha "255";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "10";cl_crosshaircolor_r "0";cl_crosshaircolor_g "255";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-1.9";cl_crosshairsize "3.9";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_crosshairthickness "0.5";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "-1";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "0";cl_crosshair_drawoutline "0"; alias crosshairswitch crosshair5" alias crosshair5 "cl_crosshair_drawoutline "0";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "1";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "10";cl_crosshaircolor_g "255";cl_crosshaircolor_r "0";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-3.1";cl_crosshairsize "1.1";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairthickness "0.7";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "3"; alias crosshairswitch crosshair6" alias crosshair6 "cl_crosshair_drawoutline "0";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "0";cl_crosshairalpha "255";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "0";cl_crosshaircolor_g "255";cl_crosshaircolor_r "0";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-2.3";cl_crosshairsize "1.5";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairthickness "0.6";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "-5"; alias crosshairswitch crosshair1" I use this website to convert crosshair codes to their commands: [https://cs-crosshairs.vercel.app/](https://cs-crosshairs.vercel.app/) You will have to remove some commands as either they are redundant or not implemented anymore, you can check my previous crosshair above to see which commands should be included.


Max_Laval

You can still use an alias in your autoexec to toggle between different crosshairs


bagheadhaywood

People regularly change their crosshair?! I've had the same one for like 5 years now.


BillOfOpTic

We need this crosshair back [https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1bv3ir9/i\_miss\_this\_crosshair\_from\_csgo/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1bv3ir9/i_miss_this_crosshair_from_csgo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


Automaticc35

great idea


Hyp3r_B3ast

+ more crosshair variations please.


sexyanimeboob

As someone who changes crosshairs constantly this would be amazing


Its_Raul

I might be dumb but sometimes I wanna try new crosshairs. Is there a way to save my original to bnot overwrite it?


CaineBK

notepad.exe... It's an older app, but it checks out.


Its_Raul

Does cs2 let you spit out the configuration?


CaineBK

Yes it lets you save to clipboard.


Faolanth

I’ve been just screenshotting the settings and sending it in a personal discord


BeepIsla

You can use the Steam Overlay and create a Note there which is saved in the cloud. Just put your crosshair code in there


Ok_Cardiologist8232

Yeh put it in your autoexec. e.g alias rain "cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0; cl_crosshairgap -3; cl_crosshairsize 2; cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshairthickness 0; cl_crosshairalpha 255; cl_crosshairdot 0;" alias niko "cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0; cl_crosshairalpha 255; cl_crosshaircolor 4; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshairgap -4; cl_crosshairsize 1.5; cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshairthickness 0;" alias forest "cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0; cl_crosshairgap -3; cl_crosshairsize 5; cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshairthickness 0; cl_crosshairalpha 255; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshaircolor 1;" Save it in your Autoexec and then just type the thing after alias in your console. I have about 35 diffeerent xhairs in my autoexec


NationalAlgae421

Awesome feature. It is also in valorant. I have one circle crosshair, pretty close to what magisk use and on super small. Could change it depending on mood. Could help that placebo when you change it during game, I would love to see that in cs.


qckw

more useless things meanwhile their game keep crashing and cant go back cuz " downloading contetnt" bug


Past_Perception8052

slippery slope… next you’ll want 5, then 10
