Quicky tutorial shows how to not draw a crosshair if there is centerprint that is going to print.

FitzQuake implementation: Add the yellow ...

Untested. Worst tutorial ever.

if you use TF's statusbar (which is set up via centerprints) this will make you unable to aim.

in FTE, centerprints of 4 lines or less are shifted up by a small amount to keep the text away from the cursor. this at least resolves the common case, but won't help mods that put essays in there.

Great point. Anything that uses an improvised on-screen "QuakeC" Hud or indicator.

A single player example: Quoth's flashlight battery indicator.
