Active Crosshairs combines the features of my earlier Alerting Crosshairs and Select-o-matic Crosshairs into one integrated OXP.

== Overview ==
=== Alerting Crosshairs ===
[[Alerting Crosshairs]] automatically varies the gun-sight cross-hairs according to the current danger level (green - yellow - red).
Select-o-matic Crosshairs

This OXP changes the way the gun-sight cross-hairs behave in Oolite. In standard Oolite the crosshairs change appearance depending on the type of weapons installed. With this OXP installed the cross-hairs instead change depending on the current alert level. At green alert only a minimal centre-mark is shown. When other ships are in the vicinity the larger four-vaned cross-hair, previously associated with the pulse laser, appears. In combat situations the more complex cross-hair, previously associated with the military laser, appears.

The mining laser continues to have its distinctive gun-sight associated with it.

When the advanced space compass is set to its target tracking mode the combat cross-hairs appear, regardless of the current alert level.

No configuration is needed or possible.

=== Select-o-matic Crosshairs ===
Select-o-matic Crosshairs: With this OXP installed, the player can select the style of cross-hairs they want to use, regardless of which weapon type is in use, and change their selection as often as they wish to.

While in flight, select the item "Cross-hairs Selector" on the equipment menu (by pressing "N"). Then cycle through the range of available choices (press "n" or "b" for next or back) until the desired style appears. Only usable with Oolite 1.77 or later.

== Usage ==
Place the OXZ into your [[OXP#Locating_your_AddOns_folder|AddOns folder]]

See [[Priming Equipment]] for the use of the N, n & b keys.
