Toggle Cross Hair with Key Binding + extras - Now uses F2 key.

Description
Thanks to all the guys on the programming discord channel, Digi, Draygo & DarkStar in particular for helping me out with this one.

<--!! IMPORTANT !!-->
Turn off Keen's cross hair under the game settings - this replaces it.

Whats this do?
It replaces Keen's cross hair with a cross hair that can be toggled with the F2 key and has auto hide functionality as listed below.

What else does it do?
- Automatically hides the cross hair when hiding the HUD.
- Automatically hides the cross hair when entering 3rd person mode when as astronaut or in ship.
- Automatically hides the cross hair when looking down iron-sights.
- Automatically hides the cross hair in menus.
- Restores block highlight functionality that Keen disabled when cross hair is disabled (the red/green box that highlights what you are aiming at with grinder/welder).

Some notes on functionality
- Using the F2 key when the HUD is hidden will toggle showing the cross hair when HUD is hidden setting as well as the visibility of the cross hair.
- There is no way to change the key bind, it is hard-coded for the moment, I will change this later to be configurable.
- Block highlight can be toggled on & off by typing /EBH or /DBH in the chat window respectively.

Future Plans
- Make the key bind not hard-coded.
- Make use of Draygo's menu system to allow configuration of scale of cross hair as well as selection of different types of cross hairs for on foot or in ship respectively.
- Move block highlight from chat command to menu system.
- Create XML based save system for settings.

Would require me to re-code it to factor in monitor sizes, something that was on the to-do list way back when, however, I don't mod anymore sorry, no longer studying, I'm working full-time and just don't have the energy or interest anymore.

Happy for someone to re-code it if you can find someone.

Hi i have a ultra-wide monitor and I was hoping there was a fix for the cross as it is large and stretched.

Its a script but its client side since its drawing to screen. Not sure why it wouldn't work on your MP setup, there is nothing it sends to a server as far as I remember, been a while since I did this one and unfortunately I don't have time to play with it at the moment.

Full time work / part time uni = no fun.

The first mistake anyone makes with mods is expecting them to work in multiplayer.

This isnt working on my server for some reason anymore

All sounds pretty alright to me.
Although, if you have it auto-show for tools, perhaps you could have different types of crosshairs?
Maybe an inverted cross-box-thing for the welder and grinder, and a spread indicator for guns?
Perhaps you could even have it change shape when you're hovering over something interactable, similar to Bethesda games? That would certainly make it more feasible to use mods disabling the interaction highlight.

I'll circle back to this one soonish guys, I'm in the middle up updating some modding tools for the community. Things I need to do: -

- Fix the aspect ration for monitors 16:10
- Create an option for the crosshair to appear in 3rd person view when in cockpit
- Create an option to and/or display crosshair when looking through a camera or turret.
- Add option to auto show when using tools (probably make this on by default).

Let me know if I missed anything!

Just what I needed, my dude. Thanks! :)

Another request, to piggy back on Darian's request: an option to auto-show when holding a hand tool (rifle excluded is fine).
Stollie  [author] 8 Feb, 2020 @ 4:38am 
@Darian Stephens - Yeah I had someone else request that, I'll get around to it, I have a lot of stuff on my plate at the moment making tools for the modding community.
