An [AHK](https://www.autohotkey.com/) script that adds an overlay cursor for the game [Helldivers](https://store.steampowered.com/app/394510/).
14+
15+
There is a "Crosshair Always Visible" setting, but all it adds is a blurry grey blob that is still very difficult to see.

With this AHK script, it will render the `crosshair.png` image file on your cursor when the Helldivers window is active, allowing you to aim better.
20+
21+
### How To Use
22+
23+
1. If you do not have AHK installed,
24+
1. You can choose to trust me and download the compiled binaries in [Releases](https://github.com/altbdoor/helldivers-cursor/releases).
25+
1. Or you can [install AHK](https://www.autohotkey.com/download/) today!
26+
1. If you have AHK installed,
27+
1. Download the [code base as a ZIP file](https://github.com/altbdoor/helldivers-cursor/archive/master.zip).
28+
1. Unzip the archive to where you want it to be.
29+
1. Edit the `crosshair.png` as you see fit.
30+
1. Protip, the white color (`#fff`) will be rendered as transparent!
31+
1. Please keep the image size as 64 pixels square.
32+
1. Double click on `helldivers_cursor.ahk` (or `helldivers_cursor.exe`, if you download the compiled binaries).
33+
1. Enjoy!
34+
35+
36+
### Additional Info
37+
38+
- The cursor overlay updates itself every 10 milliseconds. It might appear laggy at times, but thats [the best AHK could do](https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SetTimer.htm#Remarks).
39+
- If something else is putting a heavy load on the CPU, the cursor might be even more laggy.
40+
- The cursor hides itself when you `Alt+Tab` to another window. It will only show itself on Helldivers window.
