| 13 | +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. |

| 19 | +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! |

| 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. |
