I really like the beta Cross hairs for portal. Well I wanted ot make them for Portal, but when I looked into the crosshairs VTF it was just white, so I thought hmm weird.
I exported as a PNG and opened with PHOTOSHOP, and bam turns out it was a PNG to VTF. I successfully edited the cross hairs with a beta like theme
Here is my issue though, the crosshairs curl over, anyone know how to fix this and how to change the color
ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY NICE
IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS

I don't mod like you do, but if I were you I would move the lines in different spots until they look the way you want it. But, I don't do this.
As for the colors, I think you have to go into the portal files or something like that.
EDIT: Here is my best guess. In the Portalgun file, it may have something like
"PRIMARY FIRE" ---- "HUD = 35 134 254"
"SECONDARY FIRE" ---- "HUD = 255 128 64"
I'm just trowing thoughts around...

| Code: | "sprites/640_hud"

I have a feeling this may be something that needs to be edited, but i have no idea where to start any help would be nice.

Try replacing the "sprites/hud/portal_crosshairs" with "sprites/hud/your_file" But copy the file that is in front of you if it does not work right.

Well, I don't know if that will work at all. I mean the Portal crosshair is in 3 sections.

Put the file locations for each file in the file sections of the code.
I'm looking forward to this

I already know this, and i just had an idea on how to do this but I cant find the script Im looking for.
AND that could be hard and impossible ot do which is why I may have to leave that out until later. |

Yeah, you can always come out with a beta for that. But it may look better with ovals, I donno.

As of now i have learned this is basically impossible.
The two crosshairs are set with eachother, you move and adjust one, the other adjusts as well.
I am giving thi sup now, I cannot do it, i have spent a long time trying, I even split the two crosshairs into separate textures and it did not work.
Anyone who may know how to do these can have fun..... |

Perhaps you are looking at the wrong picture.
| Code: | "x" "2"
"y" "0"
"width" "44"
"height" "64" |
As you said before it is split up into three parts, It must be possable to move them apart. Or. Make a new portal gun. 
I'll give it a go.
EDIT: Heck, I can't even get it in game.
