My crosshair seems to be missing......

[Viero]

For a few days now, I have noticed that my crosshair is missing. It's only missing on the HL2 weapons and GMod weapons, an all other ones (CS:S, TF2, etc.) it still works. I'm wondering if I removed it by accidentally pressing a button, but if I did, I can't find a way to put it back on. Any help?

[Svenskunganka]

This can be caused by a simple problem but I'm not sure though, but check if this is it:
Go to C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/USERNAME/garrysmod/garrysmod/cfg and open "config.cfg" using Notepad and find "crosshair", make sure it is set to 1, aswell as the one under that line "cl_observercrosshair" is set to 1 too.

Hopes this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any further issues.
Best Regards.
Sven.

I checked the file, both "crosshair" and "cl_observercrosshair" were set to one.
I still have this problem. Any more help?

Anything else?

[Svenskunganka]

Which addons do you have installed on Garry's Mod?
This can be caused by an addon aswell as an error in a lua file regarding crosshairs.
Have you tried to install any custom crosshairs?

[Viero]

No, I haven't installed any crosshairs, but I do have a lot of addons. I'm gonna look through the lua files and see if I can find any thing that's interfereing with the crosshair. Anything I should look for?

rename your garrysmod folder

[Th13teen]

The HUDShouldDraw hook allows addons to hide some parts of the HUD you may find that an addon is hiding the crosshair via that.

I would move the addons out of your addons folder and go through the each one by one and adding them back to the addons directory and restarting your game.

Though if you do that I suggest going to offline mode on steam because some friends may not like their screen being filled with "playername is now playing Garry's Mod"

[Viero]

I don't see anything called "HUDShouldDraw" but I did find one called client_hud.lua. Could that be the problem? Also, for remaning the Gmod folder, which one? The 1st, or 2nd?

[editline]5th February 2012[/editline]

COntinuing on that, there's also a folder titled "HUD".

I'm also thinking that maybe, the original crosshair file was overwritten or deleted. Can someone privde me with the file that has the crosshair to see if that fixes it?

[Svenskunganka]

I believe crosshairs is hardcoded into garrysmod but can still be overwritten/overrided. I don't have any custom addons except Wiremod, Easy Precision, Adv Dupe, Stacker STool and SmartSnap. I don't have any lua file regarding crosshairs in either of those addon folders.

Can you paste the code using the CODE tags fro client_hud.lua and can you tell me what the name of that addons is which uses that lua file?

[Viero]

I honestly can't tell. I'm a noob to Gmod :U I'm gonna post the client_hud.lua file here. Can you try to tell if anything's out of the ordinary?

There's noting in that code regarding crosshairs. There must be something else. And btw, next time, please use the CODE tags ;)

[Blasphemy]

Disabling the default crosshair is a serverside script.
