In the CS:GO settings there are only two options dedicated to the crosshair: crosshair style and crosshair color. However, sight adjustment is not limited to these two parameters. In this article we will look at how to customize the sight for yourself using commands in the console.
Most of the article is devoted to setting up the sight through console commands, so let us remind you that by default, to call the console you need to press the ~ key (usually it is located under the Esc key).
How to change crosshair style and color in CS:GO
For those who are not in the know, let's first look at how to change the style and color of the sight. The first, well-known way, is to select the desired option in the settings:
Press the ESC key=>Help and settings=>Game options=>Interface settings
Here in the fields Sight style And Sight color select the values we need.
The second method is console commands. To customize the crosshair style in CS:GO, use the command cl_crosshairstyle
- cl_crosshairstyle 0 - default (dynamic)
- cl_crosshairstyle 1 - default (static)
- cl_crosshairstyle 2 - classic
- cl_crosshairstyle 3 - classic (dynamic)
- cl_crosshairstyle 4 - classic (static)
To adjust the crosshair color in CS:GO, use the command cl_crosshaircolor
- cl_crosshaircolor 0 - red
- cl_crosshaircolor 1 - green
- cl_crosshaircolor 2 - yellow
- cl_crosshaircolor 3 - blue
- cl_crosshaircolor 4 - blue
- cl_crosshaircolor 5 - your color
Sight with a dot in CS:GO
To add a dot in the middle of the sight, you need to use the command cl_crosshairdot:
- cl_crosshairdot 0 - no dot
- cl_crosshairdot 1 - there is a dot
Here are two screenshots as an example, a CS:GO crosshair without a dot and with one.
Crosshair outline in CS:GO
To enable or disable crosshair stroke in CS:GO, use the command in the console cl_crosshair_drawoutline
- cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0 - crosshair without outline
- cl_crosshair_drawoutline 1 - crosshair with outline
Below are two screenshots for those who don’t know what crosshair tracing is in CS:GO. On the left is the sight without outline, on the right - with it.
In order to set the thickness of the stroke (contour) of the sight, there is a command cl_crosshair_outlinethickness: the parameter can take a value from 0 to 3 (the higher the value, the thicker the outline):
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 0
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 2
Crosshair transparency in CS:GO
To set the transparency of the sight, use the command cl_crosshairalpha. The parameters of this command can take values from 0 to 255; the lower the value, the more transparent the sight will be. Here are some examples of using this command:
- cl_crosshairalpha 0 - the sight is completely transparent (it is not visible at all)
- cl_crosshairalpha 127 - the sight is translucent (50% transparent)
- cl_crosshairalpha 255 - the sight is completely opaque
Below are two screenshots, on the first the sight is semi-transparent (cl_crosshairalpha 127), on the second it is completely opaque (cl_crosshairalpha 255).
There is also a command cl_crosshairusealpha, which enables/disables the sight transparency mode. If the transparency mode is disabled, then set the transparency of the sight using the command cl_crosshairalpha it won't work.
- cl_crosshairusealpha 0 - transparency mode disabled
- cl_crosshairusealpha 1 - transparency mode enabled
Those. before use cl_crosshairalpha you need to make sure that the value cl_crosshairusealpha equals 1 (this is the default).
Crosshair size in CS:GO
The desired sight size can be set using the console command cl_crosshairsize. The higher the parameter value, the larger the sight size. Examples of using the command:
The screenshots below show scope sizes 0, 5 and 10 respectively.
Distance between sight lines
Team cl_crosshairgap allows you to reduce or increase the distance between the sight lines. Essentially, this console command changes the size of the CS:GO crosshair to some extent. The parameters can take both positive and negative values:
Screenshots with the above examples:
Sight line thickness
You can adjust the thickness of the sight lines using the console command cl_crosshairthickness: The higher the parameter value, the thicker the sight lines. Examples:
Screenshots of these two examples:
Showing and hiding the crosshair
Simple command crosshair displays/hides the crosshair. If you suddenly lost your crosshair in CS:GO, check this command.
- crosshair 0 - crosshair is not displayed
- crosshair 1 - crosshair is displayed
Other console commands
Finally, we will list all the other commands that we will not consider for the reason that they are used very rarely. Here is a list of other commands that affect the behavior of the crosshair in CS:GO:
- cl_crosshair_dynamic_maxdist_splitratio
- cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_innermod
- cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_outermod
- cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitdist
- cl_crosshairgap_useweaponvalue
- cl_crosshairscale
We hope this article was helpful and the console commands listed here will help you customize the CS:GO crosshair to suit your needs.
The advantage of console commands is that you can immediately test each type of sight in battle in order to understand whether it suits you or not. When setting up a sight in CS:GO, you cannot do without console commands. By default, in the settings you can only select the color and style of the sight. But through the console or the game config you can change the sight as you like. This is what we dedicate this article to.
It is worth noting that the sight is an individual setting. You can use the sights of experienced players, but it is better to go through and test many options for setting up the sight in CS:GO to understand which one is right for you. I personally tested all the sights for players and none of them suited me 100%. But nevertheless, at the end of the article we will provide the settings of the sights of experienced players (Butcher, Hatton, GeT_RiGhT, f0rest, friberg, Xizt, Fifflaren, cheatbanned, stewie2k sight, etc.). Maybe their scope is right for you.
Crosshair adjustment in CS:GO: best VIDEO
Crosshair style and color in CS:GO
The standard sight settings are primitive and quite limited, representing only basic sight configurations. The sight settings menu can be found in Help->Settings ->Game Options ->Sight. Here you can set the style (classic or default), appearance (dynamic or static), and the color of the sight.
ESC->Help-Settings->Game Options->Aim
If these settings are not enough for you, then open the developer console by clicking on the tilde, and using console commands set the desired type of sight.
The crosshair style in CS:GO is set by the command cl_crosshairstyle (0, 1, 2, 3, 4):
- 0 – cs:go dynamic, stylized crosshair, which is enabled by default. For some, this is what is most convenient.
- 1 – cs:go static – the same thing, only motionless when shooting.
- cl_crosshairstyle 2 – cs 1.6.
- cl_crosshairstyle 3 – cs 1.6 dynamic.
- cl_crosshairstyle 4 – cs 1.6 static.
What does a sight look like with and without a dot:
Crosshair outline in CS:GO
Team cl_crosshair_drawoutline is responsible for the outline of the sight. With parameters 0, 1 - you can either turn the stroke on or off.
- cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0 - there is a stroke
- cl_crosshair_drawoutline 1 - no outline
If stroke (contour) is enabled, another command becomes available - cl_ crosshair_outlinethickness.
An example of a sight outline in the photo:
|
|
No stroke |
Let's move on to the thickness of the sight contour (stroke), it is set with the command - cl_crosshair_outlinethickness and parameters from 0 to 3, where 0 is the thinnest crosshair outline, and 3 is the thickest.
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 0 - thin outline, we do not recommend using it, blends in with textures
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 1 - the same, rarely used, not visible on many maps
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 2 - suitable for most
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 3 - similar
You can also use half values, for example 0.5, 1.5.
- cl_crosshairthickness 0.5
- cl_crosshairthickness 1.5
- cl_crosshairthickness 2.5
Crosshair size in CS:GO
Another important parameter is the size of the scope. To change the size (reduce) the sight, use the command cl_crosshairsize. Valid values are from 0 to 100, where 0 is a small cs go sight, 10 is a large sight, etc.
In short, to get a small crosshair, just set the command - cl_crosshairsize 1. An example is in the photo below:
|
cl_crosshairsize 1 |
cl_crosshairsize 3 |
Distance between sight lines
The cl_crosshairgap command is responsible for the distance between the crosshair lines. Moreover, this is a command where the values can be negative. If you need to narrow the scope as much as possible, use a value of -5. Popular commands:
- cl_crosshairgap -5
- cl_crosshairgap 0
- cl_crosshairgap 5
Examples of team work:
|
cl_crosshairgap 5 |
cl_crosshairgap 0 |
cl_crosshairgap -5 |
Sight transparency in CS GO
A little about transparency. To set the transparency of the sight, use the command cl_crosshairalpha. Available values are from 0 to 255, most often 3 variations are used (0, 127, 255). The lower the value, the more transparent the sight. There are 3 main commands that are used to adjust transparency:
- cl_crosshairalpha 0 – transparent sight; however, its meaning will not be visible at all.
- cl_crosshairalpha 127 – set the transparency to 50%.
- cl_crosshairalpha 255 – this parameter is often used by pro players; the crosshair is not transparent and is clearly visible on any maps.
|
cl_crosshairalpha 255 |
cl_crosshairalpha 127 |
If you prefer an opaque sight, all you need to do is use the command cl_crosshairusealpha and turn off transparency, with the command cl_crosshairalpha - will not be taken into account:
- cl_crosshairusealpha 0 - disable transparency
- cl_crosshairusealpha 1 - enable transparency
How to hide or show the crosshair in CS:GO
Logged into the game and don’t see the crosshair? A fairly common problem is when the scope disappears for no reason. To enable display, write the command crosshair 1, the sight should appear. If you register crosshair 0 – the sight will disappear.
Sometimes there is a need to reset the settings to default. The easiest way to do this is directly through Steam, without going into cs go.
To do this, we open Steam, right-click on cs go and select properties.
Now we need to go to local files settings -> view.
You are in the folder with the cs go game. Now go to the steam folder (click on the top - usually the path is c->program files->steam) and there you will need to delete the userdata folder.
Ready. You have returned your standard cs go settings. You can check this by logging into the game.
How to reset your sight settings
Sometimes you don't need to reset all settings, but only some. Let's talk about the sight. To return the standard sight, just find it in settings and click reset. If for some reason it has not changed, then enter the following commands into the console:
cl_crosshairalpha "200";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "50";cl_crosshaircolor_r "50";cl_crosshaircolor_g "250";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "0";cl_crosshairsize "5";cl_crosshairstyle "4";cl_crosshairusealpha "1"; cl_crosshairthickness "0.5";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "0";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "0";cl_crosshair_drawoutline "0";
How to remove m_yaw
We all sometimes want to experiment, in particular with m_yaw. This is a pretty important setting. If it is set incorrectly, it becomes impossible to play. By default it is like this:
How to delete a config in cs go
The hardest part about deleting a config is finding the config.cfg file. The standard config is located in this path.
Preface
In this article, I will tell you in detail how to set up a crosshair in CS:GO, after which you will make your best crosshair for cs go.
Turning on the console
To configure, we will definitely need a console, since not all options are available in the game. If for some reason you still don’t have a console in 2k18, here’s how to turn it on:
1. Go to CS:GO parameters
2. Enable console – Yes
Sight styles
cl_crosshairstyle
Available values range from 0 to 5. Each of which represents a different style of sight.
cl_crosshairstyle 0
Standard CS:GO sight. It is dynamic, reacts to movement, shooting and jumping. There is an option to enable Target ID, which will change the crosshair color to red if you are aiming at an enemy. Or put a blocker on the sight when you aim at an ally or hostage. However, in terms of customization, this scope has little to offer. There are only 5 colors available - red, green, yellow, blue and light blue. In addition, in knife mode the sight is not available at all.
cl_crosshairstyle 1
Also a standard sight, but unlike the first one it is fixed. Customization is as limited as with the zero style, with the exception that this sight can be customized with the Gap - the distance between the cross lines.
cl_crosshairstyle 4
A classic, fixed sight style that has been available since the first versions of the counter-strike. Unlike standard sights, it is distinguished by the possibility of more detailed customization - the size of the entire sight, the thickness of the lines, the distance between the lines, outline, transparency, and the presence or absence of a central dot. In addition, unlike standard sights, you can choose up to 16 million colors. If these settings are not enough for some, there are other sight styles.
For example cl_crosshairstyle 5
the same classic, differs from style 4 only in the dynamism during shooting.
Or cl_crosshairstyle 3
which in turn is also dynamized during walking and jumping.
If this is not enough, then there is the Boss of all dynamic sights - cl_crosshairstyle 2
for which even more settings are available - split, transparency and expansion ratio.
Console commands for sight settings
You can customize the crosshair on this map https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=725804517
All sight adjustment commands begin with cl_crosshair
cl_crosshairsize– length of sight lines
Values: 0 to infinity
cl_crosshairthickness– line thickness of all sight segments
Values: from 0.5 to infinity
cl_crosshairgap– distance between sight lines
Values: from minus infinity to plus infinity
cl_crosshairdot– point in the center of the sight
cl_crosshairusealpha– enables/disables sight transparency mode
Values: 1 enable, 0 disable
cl_crosshairalpha– degree of transparency of the sight
Values: from 0 to 255. Where at 255 the sight is not transparent, but at 0 it is invisible.
cl_crosshaircolor– sight color from preset colors
Values: from 0 to 5, where:
- 0 – red
- 1 – green
- 2 – yellow
- 3 – blue
- 4 – blue
- 5 – your color
By selecting value 5, you can customize your own sight color
To do this you need the following commands:
- cl_crosshaircolor_r,
- cl_crosshaircolor_g
- cl_crosshaircolor_b
Using these commands you can set the proportion of red, green and blue in the color model RGB.
Values: from 0 to 255, where 0 is no share, and 255 is 100% share.
cl_crosshair_drawoutline– black outline of the sight
Values: 1 enable, 0 disable
cl_crosshair_outlinethickness– thickness of the black outline of the sight
Values: from 0.1 to 3
Commands starting with cl_crosshair_dynamic refer only to scope style 2.
cl_crosshair_dynamic_maxdist_splitratio– separation of sight lines
Values: from 0 to 1, where 0.5 is the center
cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_innermod– transparency of the internal sight
Values: 0 to 1
cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_outermod– transparency of the external sight
Values: 0 to 1
cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitdist– distance between the lines of the fixed part of the sight
Values: -20 to +20
cl_crosshairgap_useweaponvalue– this command applies only to sight styles 4 and 5.
For each weapon, the distance between the lines will change depending on its accuracy.
cl_crosshairscale- this command does nothing, for myself I set the value to 1337. Why not?
cl_crosshair_sniper_width– a new command responsible for the thickness of the lines of the sniper scope.
Values: from 1 to infinity.
Depends heavily on the resolution you're playing at. I play on full HD and value one has always seemed too subtle to me. Now after adding this command I play on the second value.
Sight selection criteria
Now that we know the entire technical side of the issue, it’s time to move on to directly selecting and setting up a suitable sight for yourself. To do this, we must understand the basic criteria for choosing certain properties.
There are 3 of them in total:
- Fixed / Dynamic
- Shape and size
- Color
Fixed or dynamic sight
This is where the choice is easiest to make. It's essentially a choice of scope style. Because the first two styles, despite the fact that they are standard sights in CS:GO, have a number of serious disadvantages. Firstly, they are stupidly crooked, asymmetrical, secondly, they are not distinct enough, and thirdly, they are very poorly customizable. Therefore, we safely throw them in the trash.
Next we have a choice between dynamic and static sight styles. The final choice depends on how well you control recoil, spread, and your overall movement. If you are not 100% confident in stopping to shoot, re-shot timing, re-sighting after a jump, or are just a beginner, then your choice is a dynamic sight.
The best dynamic sight in my opinion is the second style. Because its interior can be made static.Thus, we get a classic sight with dynamic elements for indicating accuracy restoration, which is simply a must-have for beginners.For players who are more confident in their own timings, the best choice will, of course, be the familiar fourth sight style. Classic, completely static, also quite highly customizable.
Sight shape and size
To begin with, you should understand that the sight always depends heavily on the resolution of the screen on which you play.
The same scope at different resolutions can be very different. Keep this in mind.Sight shapes can be divided into 3 main types:
- Cross, with or without dot
- Square, also with or without a dot
- Dot
Which type should you choose? This question is actually quite difficult to answer. It all largely depends on preference. However, it is still possible to identify the objective advantages of this or that type of sight. The point focuses attention on the center. The cross has reference lines for the corners of the boxes and the spray. And the square is just cool, it shows the player’s model better.
As for the size, everything here, unfortunately, also comes from personal preference.
For example, with a small sight size, visibility and focusing on the center of the screen are better. And with a large, thick cross, there are more approximate points for the spray, but it covers quite a large part of the screen. I recommend trying out all three types of sights, playing with the size settings, in some kind of deathmatch or arena. You will definitely like one of them the most.
To simplify setup, I will highlight a few mandatory requirements for you:
- The sight must be visible in any conditions
- The trailer should never cover too much of the screen
- The scope should be such that you can comfortably shoot both taping and spraying from it.
Important note. Can be sprayed very successfully with a small dot. Exactly like making cool one-shots from a huge cross. A person is able to adapt to any sight. The main thing is that the sight facilitates this very adaptation, and does not complicate it.
Sight color selection
Last but not least is color.
You most likely have no idea how important this parameter is. The fact is that certain colors on an instinctive level have a serious impact on human behavior.There is one very interesting video from the Western channel The Game Theorists.
Where, over the course of three months, the win rate of players of equal skill was tested, under exactly the same conditions, but with only one exception. One team was red and the other was blue. Believe it or not, the team whose screen was dominated by red.
Weapons, interface, animations, etc., win rate ALWAYS was on 5%
higher than the blue ones.
1. Almost all pro players use a cross
Does it follow from this that sights like dots and squares are crap?
No way! The fact is that almost the entire current pro scene is filled with players who started playing since 1.6. Where the cross was the default sight, without all the customization available to us today. Over the years, people have gotten used to it.
2.The vast majority play green or blue
Does it follow from this that all other colors are shit?
Also no. Green was also the default sight color. Blue was the second of the 5 available colors that did not blend with the textures of the map.
3. All sights are approximately comparable in size
Does this mean that all small or, on the contrary, large scopes are crap?
And here the answer is also no. Due to poor customization and low resolution, Large and small sights were not very playable.
That is, the patterns of sights about players are directly related primarily to their usual settings of shape and color, and not to the fact that their sights are ideal.
What is the result?
The sight must meet the following requirements:
- Excellent visibility, does not obscure anything unnecessary
- I like the shape, it suits the playing style
- Color with the desired effect, enhanced by hood and skins
Also, if your day is red, think blue and it will turn green.
In Pagan Online, this situation can happen: you completed the tutorial, selected a hero, and the game returns to the initial screen again and again.
This is a network problem: the game is unable to synchronize data with the server. Because of this, she cannot proceed to the next stage and returns to the main menu.
The reasons for this may be the following:
- local problems (on your computer);
- problems on the network route;
- server problems.
Below we will look at these reasons in more detail and tell you how to solve them.
Local problems
You may encounter the following local problems:
- port blocking;
- antivirus restrictions;
- lack of rights for network communication.
Port blocking
For Pagan Online to work properly, the following ports must be open:
- TCP: 443
- UDP: 443, 7000-7999
Also check if there are rules in your firewall that restrict or prohibit the use of these ports, as well as Pagan Online itself. If there are, disable or delete them.
If your antivirus has firewalls, also check and configure them.
Antivirus limitations
Antivirus protects your computer from malware. Sometimes he can play it safe by blocking some game functions, including data synchronization with the server.
If you launch Pagan Online via Game Center, you also need to add it to the exceptions: it transmits authorization data to the client.
Unfortunately, adding a game to the exclusion list does not always allow you to completely remove antivirus restrictions. To check the effect of your antivirus on the problem, disable it temporarily. Or delete it, because even when the antivirus is turned off, some of the prohibitions and restrictions that were previously set in it continue to operate and are used by other programs.
If the problem persists, if possible, do not turn on your antivirus when you continue to follow the recommendations in this article. This way you will eliminate its influence on the decision process.
While the antivirus is turned off, be careful on the Internet and when using other programs.
Lack of rights for network communication
To ensure that the game client is not limited in functionality due to a lack of rights in the operating system, it must be run as an administrator. Right-click on the shortcut or executable file and select the appropriate item from the context menu.
If you launch Pagan Online through Game Center, then Game Center itself must be launched as an administrator, since it transfers authorization data to the client.
Additionally, you can perform a clean boot into Windows to minimize the ability of third-party programs to interfere with the problem.
Problems on the network route
Unfortunately, in most cases you cannot fix network route problems yourself.
Contact your ISP's support team to check their hosts and whether the ports listed in the previous section are open on those hosts. Please note that not all route nodes are within the provider’s area of responsibility.
If possible, use a different type of Internet connection or use a different provider. Most often, this significantly changes the connection route and allows you to bypass several nodes that could potentially have problems.
Server problems
We monitor the game server around the clock. If problems arise, we try to solve them as quickly as possible. However, the more complex the problem, the longer it takes to deal with it. In such a situation, you need to be patient.
Also, servers may undergo technical or maintenance work, updates may be applied, etc.
Therefore, if you encounter server problems or technical work, please wait until we finish the job.
