I thought of an interesting idea for the interface.
What if the cursor/crosshair had 3 seperate image files which were used depending on the situation.

One would appear when the cursor is at rest,
one would appear while firing,
another would appear while reloading.

I think this would open up some nice modding possibilities, and I think the reload frame would be useful since you wouldn't have to take your eyes of the crosshair.

Here's an example:
[IMAGE]
Rest-Fire-Reload

This sounds like a great idea. Lots of other games have stuff like this, so Soldat should have it as well. Seems like it'd be pretty easy to implement as well.

It sounds like a great idea, yet not at the top priority. Well, certainly over swimming. The games that have this are usually FPS, but Soldat is based on some FPS'es, so why not?

i agree.
there is a kind of thing like that already... it goes green when over a teammate...
it doesn't really count though :P

Perfect idea. Unseen and very good. I back this 100%

as much of a good idea this is i gota say no...
probly cuz i'm to use to the one cursor

For those who prefer to use a single crosshair, you can just make all 3 image files the same. no problem ;)

Good point. I think this would make Soldat all the more fun to customize.

Mmh, a great idea indeed, good job Michal.
EDIT: Just thought of this.. maybe a different crosshair for being binked? It would still increase in size too, but you'll have a better idea of being binked or not.

a good idea i must say^^

i like it, nice idea

We want this! MM, this is a must for the next version, and not very hard to implement either.

Ditto ;-)

Cool! Me likes!

Sweet, great idea. could make modding even more customizable.

I think, that when you point someone with the cursor, it should roll around. ;D

good idea me likey. comon MM! please?

If you are reloading you shouldn't even have a cursor..

Lol, I posted this aaaaages back. But then I haven't been here for aaaaaages either, so what do you care.

Well, that is true if the cursor is considered a representation of looking through the gun-sights. But I think it would be a bit annoying to lose where your cursor is in the middle of a battle.

i'd like to see something special put in with this idea:
you move your mouse over someone, and depending on their health,m a colour could flash.
but i guess this would screw up the 'green on teammate' and 'red on bad guys' :P

Well.. loosing cursor for a few seconds would increase 2 skills: being focus (so you wont lose your target) and how fast you can aim after the reload time (on wich you had no cursor).

HAHAHA. how a bout if it is on the enemy, the cursor says "SHOOT ALREADY!" if you're reloading, the cursor says, "BULLET SPAMMER!" IF you rest, it says, "LAZY F***ER"
