How to Replace the HL crosshairs.spr File
In your half-life folder is a folder called valve, and inside that is a folder called sprites. Create a sprites folder if it's not there. Or if you're playing through Steam, follow this path to find the sprites folder: Steam\SteamApps\youraccountname\half-life\valve\sprites. Delete or rename any crosshairs.spr file already in your sprites folder FIRST. Do NOT delete any other files in the sprites folder. Download a new set of crosshairs from HL pages 1 thru 3 here by clicking on it's picture or text link. Then put your new crosshairs.spr file in the sprites folder. Most of the downloads are in .spr format. A few are zipped so you'll need to extract the .spr file from the zip. See the link to Winzip on the left if you need an unzipper. Most are also already named crosshairs.spr, but a few may have other file names. Just rename them to crosshairs.spr, if necessary
The directory structure should look like this when done:
half-life\valve\sprites\crosshairs.spr
(preceded by the drive letter and folder you installed in, ie: C:\Sierra\, C:\Games\, etc.)
