Decent sand texture: One comes with DB

Change mouse to crosshair:

Step 1:
Make you crosshair pic with a black background.

Step 2:
Code:
Hide Mouse
Load image "mycrosshair.bmp",1

do
cls
sprite 1,mousex(),mousey(),1
loop

Try looking into the SET SPRITE command to get rid of that black background

The best way to use 2d on 3d is to use 3d like load the hud image and then make a plain and texture it with the image.Example:

load image "hud.bmp",1

make object plain 1,100,100
position object 1,-5,0,200
lock object on 1
texture object 1,1
set object 1,1,0,0

Hope this helps

Let me guess, Max Pain?

Am I a butterfly dreaming I'm a man?
Or a bowling ball dreaming I'm a plate of samishi?

For HUD, just try different pasting locations, but DONT use a bitmap (if this is 3d)

Load image "mycrosshair.bmp",55
Sprite 1,x,y,55

x is the x coordinate (how far over)
y is the y coordinate (how far down)

Just plug in differnet coords till you get it right

This is because there is a minimum distance the object can be from the camera to be drawn. My only suggestion is to make the object really big (like 1000 units long), then you'll only about 1/1000 of it will be invisible.

make sure you set camera range to (set camera range 1,5000),
first number near to the camera as possible second number how far you want to see

Try positioning the guns further away from the camera, and have some collision to ensure they don't come close enough to the camera to see right through.
