Check if the client supports the format of your crosshairs.
Try to look through your paks/folders if there's something overwritting your wanted crosshair.
I can't think of anything else, but I don't really know what does that client have at all.

If software is the only reason You play with sdlquake2, try switching clients. As far as i know aprq2 still supports software.
If nothing else, You may deduce the error to client or pak/folders/files structure.

Ive tried aprq2/KMquake2/aq2sw none of those gives fullscreen dunno why. sdlquake works the best but it just wont give crosshair. Crosshairs are in pak9 at my action folder and those are all in .pcx format.

My friend has Ubuntu, and he uses AprQ2 for windows (windows emulator, dunno how to start it with Turnaus or whatever though), and as far as I know everything works fine, even the crosshair.

any chance that your crosshair might be in .png format or something like that? did u maybe download one from actiongear?

AprQ2 for Linux is just fine. But in your special case with the crosshairs, no idea.

AprQ2 has no SDL software rendering though. It has X11 software rendering.

AND... if you want the software part of aprq2 built, you need to open and edit the makefile... and change

Code: Select all

BUILD_GLX=YES     # X11 GLX client
BUILD_X11=NO      # X11 software client
BUILD_EVDEV=NO    # build evdev mouse input support
BUILD_XMMS=YES     # buildin xmms remote commands

to:

Code: Select all

BUILD_GLX=NO     # This isn't needed now if you only use software rendering
BUILD_X11=YES      # This is what we want
BUILD_EVDEV=NO    # build evdev mouse input support
BUILD_XMMS=YES     # buildin xmms remote commands
