The reason for choosing a square to depict the center of the screen is the following;
The coordinate system runs from x = 0-1023 and y = 0-767 (which gives 1024x768 pixels)
The center is actually located at x = 1023/2 = 511.5 and y = 767/2 = 383.5, but since there is no pixel at that exact coordinate, the best approximation would be to draw a square around x = 511-512 and y = 383-384. The hit point is the middle of the square.
The same goes for the 1280 x 1024 pictures.
Because of this, wouldn't it be easier to write another .ahk that draws a 2x2 (So a total of 4 pixels) square in the center of your screen or is that impossible?
I've thought of literally drawing a dot with some CD-Pen but having to look at it ALL THE TIME would probably get annoying after a while.

On a related note, it looks like PunkBuster has started kicking people for having a modified Usersettings.con file. God save us all...........

You're in deep shit if someone looks at your PB SS. Either way, PB can now detect .ahk scripts, based on their code, so I'd stay away from it... This could go under as a Crosshair Hack.

Why not just play the game? I suck, and used to get about 1:1 KDR...and got Gold often enough, If I can do that with out having to edit all kinds of settings or draw stuff on screen...Why can't you?

Exactly. Just learn where the centre of the screen is instead of being a lame idiot. It's call reflexes, go get some.

Thats why he started off saying exactly to the person he quoted, then asked the guy who started the thread why he can't just learn to play the game.

For the record, I can play just fine without one. A 1.46 KDR is decent for a new guy imo. (First account)

This was just an idea for new people like me as a learning tool. There are so many different iron sights, plane sights, laser sights etc that you can't learn them all before getting completely pummeled into the ground.

But if PB has this category called a "crosshair hack" (wtf?!) then I guess this won't happen.

The usersettings.con bannination is because it can be exploited to show enemy nametags.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Well, that explains a few things..
