Question
How can I change the L4D crosshair style and colour?
Answer
L4D allows for a default and "color blind" scheme for crosshair colour through the Options; Multiplayer; Color Blind menu
You can also change the crosshair characteristics manually in an autoexec.cfg file
A static crosshair
cl_crosshair_dynamic 0 // default 1
To change the crosshair thickness:
cl_crosshair_thickness # //default is 2, the higher the number, the thicker the crosshair
To change colors use the RGB scale 0 - 255:
The default crosshair colour
cl_crosshair_blue "220"
cl_crosshair_green "182"
cl_crosshair_red "138"
For a green crosshair, set it to
cl_crosshair_blue 0
cl_crosshair_red 0
cl_crosshair_green 255
To change crosshair transparency:
cl_crosshair_alpha # //255 default
The default is completely solid. The lower the number the more transparent the
crosshair.
cl_crosshair_alpha "255" //(default 255)
cl_crosshair_red "138" //(default 138)
cl_crosshair_green "182" //(default 182)
cl_crosshair_blue 220" //(default 220)
cl_crosshair_thickness "2" //(default 2)
cl_crosshair_dynamic "1" //(accuracy/recoil autosizing - default 1)
