Title: FS2 Cursors!
Post by: Tyrian on September 03, 2006, 05:21:46 pm

The title says it all.  I was fiddling with some art programs I found on the Internet and these came out.  I think there's about eight cursors, four are pointers, four are the associated busy icons.  They are in .zip format, because I couldn't get WinRAR to compress the folder.  Link is attached at the bottom.

To install these, decompress the folder and throw the individual icons into the C:\WINDOWS\Cursors directory.  The go to Control Panels -> Mouse -> Pointers tab.

For Normal Select use either the BFRed, BFGreen, AAABlue, or the Harpoon.  I also redid the stock FS2 cursor.

For Busy use the corresponding Charge for the beams or the Explosion for the Harpoon.

Enjoy your new FS2 themed cursors!

EDIT:  I'm also taking ideas for new cursors.  If you suggest something, post it's pic from the perspective you want the cursor to be made from.  I can edit that directly to make the cursor.  Saves me time.   :D

EDIT2:  I hope this doesn't necro the thread, but I'm just temporarily reattaching my cursors so another HLP member can get them.  I'll remove them once he has them.

They were done in Macroangelo.  I haven't poked around in it too extensively.  If you like, I can always remove the link.   ;7

Or you can go back to using the regular cursor.

I leave it up to you.   ;7

And yes, you are mean.  *Cries*   :lol:

EDIT:  Actually Windows doesn't permit animated cursors.  ...So, tough luck...
