overlay fullscreen games?

I don't know if this should go in the games section or here but anyway...

I want to have a sorta "overlay" over a fullscreen game. I mean, like the time or an image something that just hovers under your screen but over the game (I want a crosshair when I'm a sniper without editing game file ). I could draw on my screen, but that's a little crude. Is that possible?

Thanks

 

So are you trying to add a crosshair to your game?

 

pretty much yeah, I just don't like the look of normal counter strike: source crosshairs :S

 

Ok so, I'm note sure if that kind of program exists, but here's a solution:

Goto this website: http://hacks4games.wordpress.com/2008/06/21/css-exode-v177/

It has some mods for crosshairs.

If this does not do it for you, then google mods for CCS, and they have a lot of different modifications from weapon skins to crosshairs.

Let me know if this helps.

 

You dont want to draw on your screen right.

Try this instead. Take 2 pieces of fine thread and use scotch tape to affix them to the bezel. One piece runs lengthwise, the other width wise. The intersection point of these 2 lines is your point of interest

 

Thanks, I'm not really looking for hacks though, it would be too risky.

and I don't really want to cheat, I don't want to modify the game at all... I basically just want to have another application over the game when its on fullscreen

 

Thanks, FusiveResonance, but its not really the crosshair that I want, It's just to have a custom crosshair that I make...

I know it's possible to do, I've done similar things with C# and stuff... I guess i'll give that a shot

EDIT:

This is exactly what I want: http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=359319
I don't understand how it works though and I get errors when I try to debug it in c# express 2008! (since it's made for an older version)

 

You don't have to use other cheats because I'm pretty sure they have stand alone mods for cross hairs alone. I'm not big on hacks, but mods are fine; they sometimes even improve games. A good example is Quake 2 and 3. If you remember Q2, it had a rail gun that shot a straight laser with a spiral around it that looked really neat. In Q3 they ruined it because it was a straight line with circles. So someone made the mod that had the same effect from Q2, and everyone was happy. Lesson learned: mods can be a good thing.

 

but if I go on a VAC server with that I'll get banned right?

 

Hmm, that's a good question. Because I'm telling you to us a simple visual mod, and not a hack for winnning advantages. Could you ask the community that runs that server?
