Liquedv2, yew need to branch out a little on your thinking. I'm sure you'll twig it soon enough, but you're barking up the wrong tree.
The map is budding with new ideas and great game-play, AitcraftKiller just has to get to the root of the problem, it seems to have him pretty stumped right now.
Leaf him alone, he's doing a good job. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say this map isn't fir you.
Anyway, this thread is really starting to lumber along, all this over some sap's map? I thought the game was dead, but this thread at least is poplar. It makes me pine for the days of yonder.
At the end of the day, life's a Beech.. Who wood of thought it?

I love the fact that I can change the appearance of Ren, it is like a coloring book... The problem is, some people have not learned to stay inside the lines and color their ren like 5 year olds. Luckly their are are also the ones that make a old game feel kinda new again.
Skins
Edit: That whole thing where people turn their bloom way up... that shit just hurts my eyes.

Like stated, it depends on the skin.
I don't use any model skins. I do use a modified reticule and a HUD skin, though. I don't really like changing the model skins, but I would use ones that literally make the model look better by using an updated or higher-detail/quality skin of the original.
Like a serious skin replacement. Not some stupid color changing thing or some stupid clown car skin.

There's nothing wrong with crosshairs and puremode should acknowledge that IMO...

Not true.
There are different crosshairs that make it easier to use. It removes a level of guess/positioning that allows you to aim your weapon more efficiently.
The kind of crosshair I'm talking about is the ones that are really really small. The ones that are simply dots in the center of the screen.
It's easier to control those because the actual spot the projectile is hitting is around the center dot of the crosshair. In the default one or modded ones that leave open space between that center dot and the outlining shape, you need to compensate for the open area of the crosshair with the geometry of the terrain. But if the crosshair is a simple dot, you can simply control it in a way that doesn't require you to think about the shot as much.
At least, that's the effect I got when testing a bunch of different reticule mods. The smaller the crosshair, the easier it was to use for me.

@ R3: Till yesterday I was using that little so-called "advantage" reticle. With the default one now, my aiming is not affected at all. I think since no matter what the surrounding reticle looks like, it's always the dot that matters.

I'm going to respond to this nonsense one time in a civil fashion.
Here are a few reasons why the "normal style" can be more useful than the "advantage style":
1. Short range fighting. This is common knowledge...pro players who use custom crosshairs for different weapons will always use a large crosshair for shotgun-type weapons and a small one for sniper weapons. I like the Renegade-style crosshair because it combines both.
2. Leading with shells/rockets/grenades. While variants of cross-shaped crosshairs (wow..) are best for this type of aiming, the larger circle crosshair is still more useful than the smaller one. The outer rim of the crosshair will be closer to the opponent, making it easier to guess whether he's going to run into the center of the crosshair.
3. Sniping opponents behind objects at long distance unscoped. Let's say you're fighting someone at a long distance and he's hiding behind a barrier and you don't want to scope because it'll make you an easier target or because you're busy hugging a wall. Now the small crosshair will actually obstruct his model from your view, while with the larger crosshair, only the dot is covering his character. It's even more evident when he's being partially covered by a vehicle, thus eliminating your ability to guess your shots as the crosshair changes to red. This is not a major issue , but it can be the crucial factor deciding a close battle.
Now the "advantage style" is probably better at medium distances, where most Renegade combat takes place, and when sniping scoped...it's still a tradeoff, tho and I prefer the "normal style" because it's essentially the most balanced type of crosshair.
Clearly, it boils down to personal preference just like mouse sensitivity or mouse grip.

How can you tell me it's nonsense? You are not me. You don't know how I think nor do you know how I perceive surroundings or react to stimuli. How can you tell me that what I know I feel for a fact is wrong?
I can only agree with point #1. And that is a little iffy because of the way shotguns, or I should say weapons in general, work in Renegade. They aren't as style intensive in Renegade as other games make them to be (such as maybe Halo or Call of Duty)
However, I found it much easier to lead shots without the obstruction of the outer reticule obscuring the target (I watch where the bullet lands and adjust my trajectory, not were the dot goes).
This goes for no scoping far targets. Regardless of the size of the outer reticule, the dot is always the same. For me, it's never been about actual aiming at long distance unless the enemy doesn't see me. When in shot-for-shot combat at long distance, I just hover the dot on the level of the upper portion of the targets body and fire when it turns red. A smaller reticule makes it easier for me to do that. Especially since the "glow" of the bright color of the outer reticule doesn't aid in the obstruction of my view if the target decides to run far to the left or right.

People skin for a variety of reasons. One of the main ones is because they don't like the look or feel of the old version. So they make their own 'better' version.
Renegade X is essentially "skinning" taken to the Xtreme! (lolpun)

. It all boils down to personal preference and nobody's getting an unfair advantage by using a cross instead of a circle. Other skins either give you an unfair advantage or lower the game's nostalgic appeal...so you're either a faggot or the type of guy that wears white socks when wearing a suit because he doesn't know any better...Philistine phaggot.
