I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. Everything seems great but, my crosshairs in Q2 are gone, I have added a new pak file with crosshairs and still nothing, any ideas?

It sounds like you turned your crosshairs off.
Try typing set crosshair 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 in the console to see if the crosshair changes. If the crosshair files are properly defined the game should pick them up. Crosshair 0 turns off all crosshairs.

Here's a bind I use, it allows the insert key to scroll the crosshairs or you can command c1, c2 , or c3 for a nice shorthand substitute for the crosshair command.

// Crosshair Option
alias c0 "set crosshair 0;bind INS c1"
alias c1 "set crosshair 1;bind INS c2"
alias c2 "set crosshair 2;bind INS c3"
alias c3 "set crosshair 3;bind INS c0"

Thanks but that did not do it. Strange thing is if I play in software mode they are there, soon as I go to open gl they are gone. When I type set crosshair 2 a very very small dot appears but not for 1 and 3, and the dot is much smaller then the standard crosshair.

Sounds like you have a pak file overriding the default game crosshairs.

Still no luck, I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game to make sure. My video drivers are up date as well, I just can't figure this one out!

Try out some png crosshairs if you have a client that can use them.

This pak has 1-11 I think. http://reflex.tastyspleen.net/Quake%20II%20-%20Files/pak8.pak

Which clients can run them? I have tried to run some clients and keep having problems with them as well, missing dll files and such

[BTF] Reflex · « **Reply #7 on:** November 24, 2009, 06:26:12 AM »

r1q2 and aprq2 for sure, maybe quetoo (havn't used that one)

checked: quetoo handles tga, not png

Thanks, I will reinstall and try r1q2, do you have a download link?

R1GL Could not set up a hardware accelerated open gl window

[BTF] Reflex · « **Reply #12 on:** November 24, 2009, 08:50:35 AM »

I have the same thing with all other q2's. r1q2 and regular quake2.exe are the only ones that don't give me that mssg or something similar.

Sucks, I duno where to go from here
