Pink sight in cs 1.6. Selection and adjustment of the sight in counter. Change crosshair in the game client

Date: 1.09.2014

Almost everyone who thinks about the right game in Counter-Strike 1.6, are faced with the problem of choosing the size of the crosshair. First of all, the size of the sight depends on the habit, and only then on the monitor. After all, it is probably convenient for someone to play with a small sight, and for someone with a large one, this is just a habit. In this article, we will try to tell you exactly how the players of the professional CS 1.6 scene choose the size for the sight, the same ones who participate in most world-class tournaments and championships.

First you need to understand why you need a scope in Counter-Strike 1.6. And it is needed in order to correctly aim at the vulnerable part of the enemy’s body, and the sight is also actively used for right choice texture coordinates to scatter grenades as efficiently as possible. Based on this, it can be understood that the scope in Contra 1.6 is one of the most important technical factors in the game, which is why you should take the choice of scope size as seriously as possible.

An important factor in comfortable aiming is also the dynamic change in the size of the sight when shooting.

By default, in Counter-Strike 1.6, the "cl_dynamiccrosshair" parameter is set to "1", that is, the dynamic change in the size of the crosshair when shooting is ON.

But this function only interferes with comfortable shooting for most players, as the collected statistics show, only 20 percent of professional players use dynamic crosshair resizing, and the remaining 80 percent disable this feature by setting the “cl_dynamiccrosshair” parameter to “0”.

The reason why professional players turn dynamic resizing off in the settings is because it's difficult to aim at medium to long ranges, because long aiming greatly increases the chance of getting killed first. In order to conduct aimed and accurate fire at an enemy with the function of dynamic resizing of the sight turned on, you need to wait a few seconds before firing, this must be done so that the size of the sight becomes the usual size, I hope it is not necessary to note that a few seconds of extra aiming can negatively affect the outcome of the round. Due to the shortcomings of dynamic crosshair resizing, most pros disable this feature, because without it you can aim much faster, more comfortably, and most importantly more efficiently.

A variety of sights for CS 1.6

As practice has shown, as many as 40 percent of professional players use a large "crosshair" - (Large), and this despite the fact that the pros prefer to choose Deagle as an additional weapon. To activate a large sight, you need to set the "cl_crosshair_size" parameter to the value "large", that is, enter "cl_crosshair_size large" in the console.

In second place, in terms of popularity, is the small one - (Small). Statistics show that 35 percent of professional players use a small scope. To activate a small sight, it is necessary to mark the value "small" on the parameter "cl_crosshair_size", that is, type "cl_crosshair_size small" in the console.

Well, the third most popular sight, medium (Medium), it is used by 25 percent of professional players. You can apply a medium sight by setting the “medium” parameter to the “cl_crosshair_size” value, or simply enter “cl_crosshair_size medium” in the console.

It can be said based on statistics that small and large sights are practically on the same level in popularity with each other, which cannot be said about the average sight. But, it is impossible to argue and prove that any of the three sights is better or worse, because everyone chooses a sight with which it is convenient and comfortable for him to play.

Surely, you would like to see how certain scopes look in combat and at different distances. Therefore, especially for you, we have prepared a series of screenshots, with each of the three sights, at a small distance and a large one. We have prepared these pictures so that you can roughly orient yourself in aiming, as well as know some of the features of aiming with one or another sight. You can try to download our cs 1.6 build and after by reading this review, start adjusting the crosshair in your client.

Finally, all three sights in Counter strike 1.6 has its own characteristic pros and cons. But remember, regardless of the size of the scope, success in the round and accurate shooting, depends only on your personal skills and correctly configured rates in the game. Well, the size of the scope is just a small "cosmetic" feature that makes aiming a little easier. When choosing the size of the scope, you should take into account the size of your monitor, as well as the screen resolution in the game, so that the scope does not take up most of the screen. Since, if the sight takes up a significant part of the monitor, then your visibility will immediately deteriorate, and of course, it will be much more difficult to aim at vulnerable spots. Remember, you can adapt to absolutely any size of the sight, but it is desirable to choose a constant size of the sight on initial stage skill development in the game. Because if you played all the time with the same scope size, and then abruptly changed it, then you will feel discomfort for a long time, but, fortunately, you will feel it only until you get used to the new scope size. .

In this article, we will introduce you to how you can set up the sight in cs 1.6 right in the game, in the settings or through the console. The setup is actually quite simple and does not cause any difficulty even for beginners, so don't be afraid right away that this may cause difficulties or problems with the game. So let's go!

How to make crosshair smaller for CS 1.6

To change the scope size you only need a console command specifically designed to change the size of your weapon's scope. You can register a small sight in the console as follows:
You need to run CS 1.6 and open the console (this can be done using the Russian letter "Ё", it is also "~" in the English keyboard layout). Next, we need to enter a list of console commands in strict order (one at a time).
cl_lw 1
cl_lc 1
cl_dynamiccrosshair 1
+duck
cl_lw 0
cl_lc 0
-duck
Here is how they should look like we see on the screen:

Zoom out - example

What should happen on the example of a standard sight for the default Counter-Strike 1.6 pistol. The scope of the M-16 rifle will accordingly be smaller than that of the pistol in proportion, like that of other weapons.

The first image is before entering console commands.
And so we look at the screen with a standard sight:

And here is the scope, which we have already reduced:

Console commands for stable shooting

Cl_updaterate 102
is responsible for the number of packets received from the server to the client (max. value 102), If you have a slow Internet, set 20-30, with rapid value 102 is better.

cl_cmdrate 102
is responsible for the number of packets transmitted from the client to the server (there is no maximum value, but it is better to set the same value with the cl_updaterate command, namely 102)

rate 100000
is responsible for the speed of transferring information from the client to the server and only affects the shooting speed (that is, the bullets fly faster) (max. value 100000)

ex_interp
is responsible for the time of any action of the player model between each successive update. Is an important command, depends on ping. If you have ping 1-25 - set ex_interp 0.01, if ping is 30-120 - set ex_interp 0.1

fps_max 1000
Frames per second limiter. On NonSteam versions, the maximum value is 101, on Steam there is no limit. On FastCup, overPRO (MIX GAME), a value greater than 100.5 FPS is prohibited.

fps_override 1
strictly for Steam clients. Allows the use of FPS over 101.

hud_fastswitch 1
when choosing a weapon, it will immediately switch, without clicking the mouse

cl_righthand 1
right hand weapon

cl_dynamiccrosshair 0
immobilized sight (helps when shooting)

cl_weather
0 | 1 | 2 - weather on maps. Recommend 0 for FPS boost.

net_graph
1 | 2 | 3 - displaying useful network information in the lower right corner of the screen.

Sight adjustment

Many, after 3-4 incomprehensible deaths, ask the question of how you can constantly hit the head, I will answer a lot depends on the scope in the cs, then we will change it and we will, just do not forget that shooting with a clip is tantamount to a clip fired into the sky, so you you won't hit anyone.
all values ​​are entered in the console, which is called in the menu with the tilde (~) key
if you are tired of a big useless sight, then enter this line:

Old version option
cl_crosshairscale 20000 (very small scope)
cl_crosshairscale 5000 (dynamic small crosshair)
cl_crosshairscale 2000 (medium scope)

The former command to reduce the sight cl_crosshairscale does not work. Now cl_crosshairsize is in effect. The value must be set at your discretion, cl_crosshairsize 1, 2, 3, etc. It's just that now there are no large values ​​of a variable like 2500 or 1500, and all values ​​have become smaller.

This method is simpler than the first one, because you need to register the command only once, and not every time you enter the server.

1. We go into the game.
2. Then open the options and go to the video settings menu.
3. Change the resolution to 640x480 or 800x600
4. Save the settings
5. Open the console and write the command cl_dynamiccrosshair 0
6. Press Enter
7. Again go to the options in the video menu and change the resolution back to the one you had before.

Crosshair size when exiting CS 1.6 is returned. Therefore, it is better to register these commands in the config: config.cfg so as not to register commands when starting the game or entering the game server. P.S - steam cloud synchronization is possible
steam cloud. This is the system that stores your saves and user settings on the steam servers. Those. when you reinstall the game, your settings and saves will be saved. This feature can be disabled in the settings.

To prevent the sight from expanding, you need to execute the command
cl_dynamiccrosshair 0

Scope transparency:
You can change the sight in CS to transparent, and vice versa, with the console command cl_crosshair_translucent :
1) 0 - disable crosshair transparency
2) 1 - turn on the transparency of the sight

Scope color:
You can change the color of the sight in CS using console command"cl_crosshair_color".
The main parameters of the color gamut must be specified in the RGB system, that is, in the format "100 200 300", where instead of 100 - the intensity of red, 200 - green, 300 - blue.
For example, if you want a white crosshair ks, you should write the command cl_crosshair_color "255 255 255".
cl_crosshaircolor and a number from 1 to 5 gives different colors

after changing the color of the sight, as well as entering any other commands in the console, you will need to enter these values ​​for the parameters of the sight again.
1. cl_interp 0.033 or cl_interp 0.055 since there are delays due to ping, you can see a picture on the screen that is completely untrue, this command corrects this situation. the default is 0.10, experiment.

However, this command has one drawback - it only reduces the lines of sight. Also, be sure to mention the ability to return all the old settings. Although, it seems not all, the ability to change the color remains. To do this, enter the following command: cl_legacy_crosshair_scale 1. If you want to return it back, write the same command, but with a value of 0.

That's the whole scope setting in cs 1.6 through the console. Enjoy your game!
