the rendering quake 1 font

https://quakewiki.org/wiki/Quake_font - [quakewiki.org]

“The image data is stored in gfx.wad by default but can also can be placed in gfx/conchars.lmp.”

unicode #43 == + symbol

When creating a WAD, stores the images in Quake PIC format instead of MIPTEX format.

NOTE: this option is automatically enabled when the output file is called “gfx.wad” (or “GFX.WAD”, case is not significant).

NOTE 2: the CONCHARS and TINYFONT lumps are special, and are always created as a raw blocks of pixels.

Red Crosshair examples:

scr_screenscale 0

scr_screenscale 1.314

use slade v3

youre modifying the unicode char map for the file CONCHARS.dat aka CONCHARS #141

this is located in PAK0.PAK/gfx.wad do not modify PAK0.PAK

create a pak called PAK1.PAK <— anything in here will override the same files inside PAK0.PAK

in slade create a new PAK1.PAK (or pak2.pak if you already have a pak1.pak)

import gfx.wad with your modified conchars.dat

all the other files in gfx.wad must be present

save

run quake KEX enhanced — or vanilla or source port

Centering crosshair

adjust your crosshair

take a screenshot and use an image editor to find the center of the screen

cl_crossx 0

X = left and right position

-1 is left one pixel, 5 is right 5 pixels.

cl_crossy 0

Y = up and down position

-1 is up one pixel, 8 is down 8 pixels

your coordinates start at 0x0 top left.

my center was x=1.5 & y=20

1920/2 = 960 centered

1080/2 = 540. you do not shoot at the center of the screen, optimally 15-20 pixels above the center

default crosshair is not centered

your resolution and scr_screenscale 0 effects the position of the crosshair…
