Description             : One of the things I took home from The Fray was a
                          a copy of an improved crosshair I got from AceJas
                          of Clan Gib.  Having become used to this newer
                          crosshair, I was annoyed when Hexen 2 came out and
                          I was forced to use the old one.  So, I spent a
                          little time poking around the Hexen 2 pak files,
                          and soon came up with this.  I am told the original
                          replacement crosshair from Quake was made by
                          Saber9, so credit goes to him for the idea.  Once
                          you install this file, the normal bulky crosshair
                          will instead be replaced with a smaller more
                          accurate red crosshair.

                          For those interested in playing with editing the
                          console characters for Hexen 2 by themselves, here
                          is some info.  Instead of being an entry in the
                          gfx.wad file like in Quake, the console characters
                          are stored in the file /gfx/menu/conchars.lmp in
                          pak0.pak.  The format of this file is a raw 256x128
                          paletted image.

Additional Credits to   : id for creating the Quake engine.
                          Raven for creating Hexen 2.
                          Saber9 for creating the original crosshair.


Installation            : Unzip this archive into a temporary directory.
                          Rename the file pak2.pak to pakX.pak where X is the
                          next highest number of pak file in you Hexen 2
                          /data1 directory.  The default name is pak2.pak.
                          If you have the registered version of Hexen 2
                          and have not modified it, renaming will not be
                          necessary.  Once you have renamed the file, copy it
                          to the /data1 directory in your Hexen 2 directory.
                          You may then delete the files in the temporary
                          directory.
