Compatible with TdlQ's [Enhanced Hitmarkers](https://pd2mods.z77.fr/enhanced_hitmarkers.html), in case you wanted to use the non-hitmarker aspects of ACH while also using TdlQ's Enhanced Hitmarkers. #### [color=ff0000]REQUIREMENTS:[/color] * [BeardLib](https://modwork.shop/14924) is REQUIRED * [SuperBLT](https://superblt.znix.xyz/) is REQUIRED * [ColorPicker](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29641) is needed to change crosshair/hitmarker colors in settings, but is not broadly necessary for ACH's functionality. ## [color=ffd700][b]Features:[/b][/color] #### [color=ff6666]Crosshairs[/color] - Customize crosshairs by weapon type/firemode - ...or use one crosshair for all weapons - Customizable image - Bloom (cosmetic, does not reflect weapon accuracy due to the lack of bloom) - Dynamic Color: Crosshair can optionally change color based on targeted unit (eg. red when aiming at enemies, blue when aiming at teammates, green at civies, etc; these colors can also be customized*) - Compatible with all custom weapons #### [color=66ff66]Hitmarkers[/color] - Can display animated hitmarkers - Can display hitmarkers in "3D space," similar to [GTFO](https://gtfothegame.com/) - Customizable hitmarker image for hits versus kills - Customizable hitmarker colors* for headshots, crits, kills, nonlethal hits, or combinations thereof #### [color=6666ff]Hitsounds[/color] - Customizable hitsound for headshots, crits, kills, nonlethal hits, or combinations thereof - Customizable volume #### [color=ff66ff]General[/color] - Modular features- you can choose to disable Hitsounds, Hitmarkers, or Crosshairs, or keep any combination of these features enabled, as you like - Add-on support for custom crosshairs, hitmarkers, or hitsounds- make your own! - sooper secret april fool's joke *[i]All color customization options require [ColorPicker](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29641) to change specific colors[/i] --- ### [color=ff4444]Known Issues (and possible solutions):[/color] * Hitsound previews do not play while in the menu if the game is paused (applies to singleplayer offline games only). This is done intentionally to avoid a bug where hitsound previews would queue but not play until the game was unpaused, at which point all sounds would play simultaneously at deafening volume. [status: investigating solutions] * Dragging the Hitsound volume sliders with the mouse results in sounds stacking once per frame at hideously loud volume. Users are strongly advised to use the arrow keys to adjust the volume slider instead, or use BeardLib's right-click feature for exact values. * Crosshair bloom and hitmarker previews may not display in the menu if the game is paused (applies to singleplayer offline games only) [status: no fix planned yet] * Poison and Fire damage may not reliably activate hitmarkers or hitsounds, depending on whether or not you are host. This is due to the way that networking code is done in PD2. [status: no fix planned] * Blue menu filter from base game obscures the mod menu when in-game (as opposed to at main menu), effectively rendering the crosshair/hitmarker preview unusable if in-game [status: investigating solutions] * [IREnFIST - Reloaded](https://modworkshop.net/mod/28585) has a minor conflict with ACH, preventing the "ADS Hides Crosshairs" option from functioning. (Interferes with ACH functionality, does **not** cause crashes) [status: Fix implemented. Please navigate to the mod settings to enable the fix if you have IREnFIST installed.] * [Restoration Mod](https://modworkshop.net/mod/428) has a minor conflict with ACH, causing Hitmarkers and Hitsounds not to trigger. (Interferes with ACH functionality, does **not** cause crashes) [status: Fix implemented. Please navigate to the mod settings to enable the fix if you have Restoration Mod installed.] ----- ### [color=ffd700]Installation:[/color] [i]Installing ACH:[/i] 1. Follow the download link 2. Unzip the .zip file into your `mods` folder using the archive utility of your choice (I recommend [7zip](https://www.7-zip.org/)) 3. Launch the game. You are now ready to use ACH and install addons. [i]Installing addons:[/i] Addon folders should be installed in one of the following folders, depending on which type of addon it is: `/mods/saves/ACH Addons/Crosshairs/` `/mods/saves/ACH Addons/Hitmarkers/` `/mods/saves/ACH Addons/Hitsounds/` Please note that the `ACH Addons` folder does not exist until you launch the game with ACH installed. If you wish, you may opt to create the appropriate folders yourself, however. ---- #### [color=ff00d7]Addons:[/color] I'm hoping other people will start to design their own addons for this mod, but in the meantime, here's a few small dev-art examples I made to get you started, in addition to the ones that come with this mod: * [Crosshairs Pack 1](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29819) * [Crosshairs Pack 2: Halo](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29903) * [Crosshairs Pack 3: Destiny 2](https://modworkshop.net/mod/30020) * [Hitsounds Pack 1](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29820) * [Hitmarkers Pack 1](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29821) And here are some great addons that other members of the community have created: * [BO3 HITMARKERS (ACH)](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29863) by FrenchyAU - (Hitmarkers) Addon from Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 * [Grand Theft Auto V Reticules (Advanced Crosshairs)](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29864) by VxWolf - (Crosshairs) Addon from Grand Theft Auto * [ACH ADDON: Man Screams at Yellow Paint](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29864) by wekk - (meme Hitsounds) Addon from [here](https://youtu.be/RWqr9DsEd9Q) * [[ACH] Bad Company 2 Headshot](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29870) by Sokolov - (Hitsound) Addon from Bad Company 2 * [[ACH] Frenchy's Hitsound Pack (details within)](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29871) by FrenchyAU - (Hitsounds) A wide variety of hitsounds from various games * [[ACH] ADDON: Battlefield 1 Kill Sounds](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29886) by Wenzelony - (Hitsound) Addon from Battlefield 1 * [Titanfall 2 Crosshair Pack (ACH)](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29902) by FrenchyAU - (Crosshairs) Addon from Titanfall 2 * [Titanfall 2 Hitmarker (ACH)](https://modworkshop.net/mod/29912) by FrenchyAU - (Hitmarkers) Addon from Titanfall 2 * [Quake Crosshair Pack (ACH)](https://modworkshop.net/mod/30067) by Dr. Dryels - (Crosshairs) Addon from Quake Live For a tutorial on creating addons, see the GitHub wiki link below. ----- #### [color=66ffff]FAQ:[/color] [spoiler] Q: I found a bug! What do I do? A: Report it to me! Leave a comment here, contact me on the ModWorkshop discord, or open a ticket on the GitHub page. Try to be descriptive about the issue so that I can find it and fix it! If the issue is severe enough (eg. crashing), you may wish to try an earlier version from GitHub if I'm not online and available to fix it immediately. - Q: Crosshairs are cheating. A: That's nice, dear. - Q: Can I disable some of the features but keep the others? A: Yes! Look in the mod options. - Q: Can I add my own crosshairs/hitmarkers/hitsounds? A: Yes! See the guide here: https://github.com/offyerrocker/PD2-AdvancedCrosshairs/wiki - Q: Can you add [whatever] crosshair/hitmarker/hitsound? A: You can feel free to make a request. However, whether or not I'll actually *do* it depends on many factors, including how busy I am, how interesting the request is/how much I like it/how much free time I have/what I had for breakfast that morning. In other words, I might or might not, and even if I like the idea, it might take a while for me to get around to it. I've made it extremely easy for users to make their own crosshairs/hitmarkers/hitsounds, and you'll probably do a better job than I would anyway. Plus, I like seeing the creative stuff that the modding community (that's you!) can do. - Q: Can I help translate this mod into [whatever] language? A: Yes, please do! The best way to do this is by sending a pull request on GitHub, or by contacting me on Discord or on ModWorkshop. - Q: Is this mod compatible with [whatever] mod? A: Generally speaking, I have no idea. Try it, find out, and report back in the comments! - Q: You abbreviated the mod to ACH. What about "Hitsounds?" A: Feature creep. Originally it started as Advanced Crosshairs as a standalone of NobleHUD's crosshairs, but then I decided to add Hitmarkers. Then I decided to add world-position hitmarkers, and then I decided to add hitsounds... I just never bothered to change the name/acronym afterward. - Q: Why? A: Yes.
