Custom cursors for BE and NF: As commander and also when using one of the GUI-windows, use a custom cursor, one for BE and one for NF. +pros: Adds to the polishing. Looks better than the Windows-cursor. Shouldn't require that much coding. -cons: Need cursors first. According to Beerdude, might be impossible to do on the Source-engine? :/ Not actually needed, but a nice thing to have IMO. alternatives: Give the player the ability to select his own cursor. I made some cursors. They probably arent good, but maybe sufficient and might give you an idea if you want to make some. (They are also halfway transparent.)
I actually have no idea how to do this. One issue that was discussed in the HL-Coder mailing list was that it'd be bound to the FPS of the game or something, but I dunno if that's just bad implementation or a limitation of the Source engine or whatever
