Removing the crosshairs in mame lightgun games

Howard_Casto:
to use it simply type:

crosshair/nocrosshair ch/noch at the command prompt to set it

If anyone wants to try it feel free and post your results (i should be able to fix any glitches on paper)

Once the next official build comes out I'll go ahead and submit it to mame. If nothing else, I'll have sirp add it to his hacks page so it can be added to noname mame and all the others.

In src/mame.h:
add

In /src/windows/config.c:
Add

{ "crosshairs", "ch", rc_bool, &options.crosshairs, "0", 0, 0, NULL, "draw crosshairs for lightgun games" },

Okay, now it'll work. The "crosshair"s should have been "crosshair_enable"s.

Howard_Casto:
actually no, it should be crosshairs

if you notice the only instance of "crosshair_enable" in the original source is locally in drawgfx

I commented that out and replaced all instances with the global variable crosshairs, to match with the new command line switch

oops the wrong code was pasted in, sorry

on second glance, however i'm not actually passing the new switch to anything.... the easiest solution is to remove the new global "crosshairs" and instead read and write to options.crosshairs

The code posted above has been fixed in the original post.

TheGatesofBill:
Hmm... still doesn't compile.

Lilwolf:
btw..

wouldn't it be nice to have the player 1 and player 2 seperated?

something I was always annoyed with.. but once you have a real gun (assuming actlabs guns are considered real).. It doesn't matter.

but others might like it.
