take back what I said, after some closer inspection, my crosshairs look preeeeetty damn close for an upscaled version of the wings, but they aren't as close as I want them. The original ones I made a year ago were fine... if you used crosshair scale 32 and played at yz50's resolution. The issue was that resizing them was really hard because the original ones were super low res because I based them off the image the yz50 posted somewhere on tf.tv (I forgot where) so they would turn out super blurry after increasing the scale in game. These new ones I made look okay, but they're still a bit low res ngl and the tips of the wings are too thick

RoLktaeohdude literally look at the post above you. also this crosshair is very obviously not 1:1 of anything that already existed it was like immediately obvious to me that the wings are scrunched together more than any iconic usage of the crosshair lolcrespiI'm sorry if this question is stupid, but is there a way to have the dot in the middle be one color, while the "wings" are another?unfortunately no, the dot is a part of the cross hair VTF, so it's basically impossible to change the dot separately from everything else. I can make a crosshair for you with a desired color however. Or, I could send you the Photoshop layer files so you can do it yourself
lol idk how you can say that it's not 1:1, I literally imported the seeker from tf2 and overlayed it with the wings from the g3rmen hud font file, which is exactly what happens in game. I actually increased the gap between the wings themselves by 1 pixel because they were uneven in scale
crespiI'm sorry if this question is stupid, but is there a way to have the dot in the middle be one color, while the "wings" are another?
not through tf2's settings, no. The dot is a part of the cross hair VTF, so it's basically impossible to change the dot separately from everything else. I can make a crosshair for you with a desired color however. Or, I could send you the Photoshop layer files so you can do it yourself
change log:
v2: completely remade crosshairs
-pretty much truly 100% guarantee batteries not included 1:1 now
-increased the resolution, crosshair may appear bigger compared to v1. Still 64x64
-added "og" version for people who like the uncentered "hud xhair" look
-no solly crosshair this time because like nobody uses it anyways and every time I try to upscale it photoshop spits out some horrid jagged garbage no matter what resizing filter I use
v1: release
how to update:
if you use the scout crosshair on every class without a no explosion script mod just drag and drop the new folder over the old one, if you wanna keep your custom assignements + explosion smoke just drag and drop the crosshair vtfs from the materials folder tree into the one already in your tf/custom directory
hey guys. Many people liked the last yz50 crosshair mod that I made, but it was kinda dog and wasn't 1:1 enough in a lot of different ways (2 pixels too wide, wings were too "thin", too small, etc) and it also looked like shit at higher scales. I remade the crosshair, made it look cleaner and more "hi res", and properly centered it again. If you just wanna download the crosshairs, feel free to scroll down to the bottom of the post. Otherwise, here's some background info on this project.
a short history of the konr/yz50/clockwork wings crosshair

why tf2's default crosshairs suck
the "none" crosshairs (the default ones that change based on weapon) are literally all on the same file. They're very low res, have weirdly inconsistent coloring/transparency issues, and aren't even centered properly (although this is mostly because the default weapon scripts have the wrong centering coordinates). This centering issue is pretty bad for classes like sniper and spy who use the "wide cross" crosshair, where even a 1 pixel difference at a long range can determine whether you make a shot or not. Why this hasn't been fixed yet is a true valve moment lol. Another issue is that the "center dotted" crosshair resolutions are actually an odd number instead of an even number, and because computer display resolutions are even, this means that your dot can literally never be centered properly. GJ valve
why I remade the same crosshair that has been remade like 100 times online
because they all kinda suck, and the actual original way of "creating" this crosshair is also kinda wack.
most of the ones you can find online are improperly centered, but generally they just plain don't look true to the originals. I think I even saw a rainbow one somewhere lol
as for why I decided to make another one: konr, yz50, and clockwork "made" this crosshair by using an old ass technique to use custom crosshairs where you use a font with a bunch of letters assigned to custom crosshairs, then using a file in your custom hud to overlay text using the font to create a crosshair. They used a font that had the "wings" assigned to every character, and overlayed it on top of the default seeker in game to create the iconic crosshair. The problem with this method is that it's super inconsistent across resolutions, and is basically impossible to truly center properly. It also doesn't line up with the default crosshair all that well anyways, something that you can actually sorta see in the videos shown above.
so what I did was grab the font myself, grab the seeker and upscale it a little as if it had been resized already in tf2, fix them up by making them completely symmetrical and centered, and overlayed the two in photoshop. What you get is basically what the goal was in making the original crosshair using the wack hud font method, in the form of a more modern VTF format. VTF crosshairs can be perfectly centered as long as the source image is in an even resolution. If you compare my crosshair with videos of the original crosshair, the accuracy is basically perfect. Also you can change the color of it lol

>>>DOWNLOAD<<<
download
low iq installation method:
1. Click on the download link above and then choose between two of the zip files in the Google Drive folder:
- yz50 wings remake.zip (contains the mod which you can drag and drop, and also includes the weapon scripts that I use personally)
- images only (contains only a png, vtf, and vmt file for each crosshair, for advanced users who might want to add these to their existing crosshair mods)
3. Set your crosshair to "none" in your TF2 console by typing the following:
[code]cl_crosshair_file ""[/code]
4. enjoy your new centered yz50 wings
how to customize:
1. To change a crosshair for a weapon, go to scripts and open the script you want to edit. For example, if I wanted to use yz50sollyremake for the scattergun, I would edit tf_weapon_scattergun.txt. A lot of the weapon scripts actually cover more than one weapon so I'd suggest looking at this: https://cfg.tf/tools/crosshairs/names/
note: list is outdated, looking for better one
2a. Edit the crosshair section like this:
[code] "crosshair"
{
"file" "vgui/replay/thumbnails/DESIRED CROSSHAIR NAME"
"x" "0"
"y" "0"
"width" "64"
"height" "64"
}[/code]
the "x", "y", "width", and "height" values are particularly important, especially the latter two. These should be set to 64 as my crosshairs are 64x64, and they will break if you don't change them.
2b. You can use one of the following crosshair names:
- yz50remake (wings combined with seeker)
- yz50remake (wings combined with seeker, wings are offset to the left by 1 pixel)
- yz50sollyremake (wings combined with the fixed default solly crosshair)
3. Set your crosshair to "none" in your TF2 console by typing the following:
[code]cl_crosshair_file ""[/code]
4. enjoy your new centered yz50 wings
(IMPORTANT) NO EXPLOSION SCRIPT COMPATIBILITY STEPS
if you use a no explosion script mod, you need to do a couple of extra things to get it to work
1. Find out what particle effect you're using by opening the no explosion script mod's folder/VPK (you can open .vpk files by downloading GCFScape here) and then opening any of the explosive weapon scripts (like the one for the rocket launcher). The lines you want to look for look like this:
"ExplosionEffect" "insert explosion particle here"
"ExplosionPlayerEffect" "insert explosion particle here"
"ExplosionWaterEffect" "insert explosion particle here"
2. Copy these 3 lines, then go to the respective weapon script in the yz50 wings remake scripts folder, and replace the 3 lines there with the ones you copied.
3. Get rid of the no explosion script mod. It will overwrite the crosshair mod which prevents my crosshairs from working. This is because the no explosions mod uses the same file as my crosshair mod, and will overwrite it entirely, which includes the default crosshairs.
4. enjoy as usual
special thanks to yz50 and konr for making my favorite crosshairs of all time
got banned for saying "2nd place froyo LOL"
reading this should help you choose a monitor for your own personal needs and preferences. We can't read your mind but even so this is a great list of recommendations and things to look out for
this just makes me feel sad
I've updated all of the yz50 style crosshairs. You should probably download the updated zip file on the Google Drive so you get these new ones lol
2.0: Updated all wings variants of the crosshairs!
- They're brighter
- They're ordered properly (some layers were in the wrong order for certain crosshairs)
- They have outlines (yz50wings only, will make more for others whenever I feel like it [probably never until someone asks me for it cause I'm lazy])
I'm still taking requests via my Discord @
prsnmake medic cross yzwings pls
done, updated zip files
skeezktaeohHow so? Can you send me a diagram? The only ways I can think of are like these:

Where did you get this screenshot from?
cleanbuddyu are simply goated
TixxBig brain. I couldn't tell what was wrong with previous crosshairs until you pointed it out.
RoLyou are a genius. thank you for making this
SageJayOnly took you like 10 years to post this. Everytime you dm'd me to test out your files I would lose 100 fps
HealingSentryI love you
SwaggerTimeThank you, I downloaded the wings and on my first game I had 500dpm, thank you!
thanks for all the kind words!
