I was creating myself a crosshair and noticed that whenever I switched over to the medium preset the crosshair would become extremely blurry, and switching back to medium high preset would make it back to clear. Idk if there's any known setting/module that causes this but if there is would someone let me know? :]

I ended up just trying to look for the problem myself, so if anyone else has this problem its because mat_picmip needs to be set to 0

@buoyant ginkgo has leveled up! (6 ➜ 7)

There should be a flag you can set in the vtf header that causes it to be ignored for picmip

#

So you can have full resolution crosshairs regardless of mat_picmip setting

#

Also for 1:1 display of crosshairs you need cl_crosshair_scale to be somewhere around 31, with other scale values the images are resampled and made blurry

#

(The exact scale values between which resampling is avoided depend on the crosshair image resolution, you can search my message history for a full explanation of it)
