I too was trying to make an all purpose crosshair with better mortar markings than the HR supplied version. Thanks for your hard work! EDIT: Best part about Litego's mortar crosshair is that it fits perfectly with the ingame mortar crosshair in 1080p

Edit: After playing a while with the multi crosshair I didn't really find the distance estimate very useful in practice, it's a good idea, but in the middle of the fight I found it to be more in the way than helpful. So I made a new crosshair, have not tested this yet, but I'll post it anyways.

As a HoF it's hard noticing where your crosshair is in a firefight (camera shaking and whatnot), so all the guidance I can get from the crosshair is important. This version also work well for me when sniping.

Since it's not practical for me to switch on the fly as a sniper, I wanted one that worked for both sniping and falconing. (the ones that appear below with black backgrounds have transparency) The one I am currently using: One that I made before realizing the dimensions needed to be even to be perfectly centered. It's centered about the lower-right pixel of the middle 2x2 square (I didn't notice myself missing more than usual, even sniping over very long distances) _________________ - Fix Jetpack Physics (video) (video) - Remove regen, bring back health kits - Buff explosive jumping - 100% inheritance for "bullet" weapons (nova blaster included)

Included are detailed instructions for changing the hotkey to something other than 'end'. More sample crosshairs from this thread (files named for credit). Fixes to windows 7 issues with crosshair falling under the tribes window: 1. The script now has an entry in the alt-tab list. It also uses a function that activates tribes any time the autohotkey window is receives focus. The idea is that when you alt-tab out of tribes for something, you can alt-tab to xhair to go back to tribes (and make sure xhair is visible at the same time). 2. The hidden stage of crosshair cycling now destroys and fully recreates the crosshair gui. So hitting the hotkey 3 times should always restore it to visibility.

my tip for mortar ladder:
don't add any numbers make the middle distinct so you can easily count the bars in your head.
my first one had numbers as well but I found this system to work much better.
