Release 1.8.3a Emergency Update

Apologies if you have already downloaded 1.8.3, but two late breaking bugs slipped through my testing.

The first was that crosshair colour wasn't working. Not that big a deal, but it should be done right all the same.

The second was a doozy and only came to light when I recompiled the source to commence on a potential 1.8.4 version. My cvar and command compatibility layer was misbehaving extremely badly, in that it was accidentally stomping over original cvars and commands.

That one doesn't seem to have affected the original 1.8.3 release, but all the same I prefer not to take the risk given that I'm going to be away for a while. Let's not have me coming back to problems.

Aah cheers for the quick fix! My trusty yellow crosshair is back :D

While on the subject.. any chance of a cvar or option in hud-menu to "link" crosshair colour to pants colour?

That way, in team-games, your crosshair always reflects the colour of your team-mates (I tend to get confused if I been playing for the yellow team for many games and then swap over to the red team for example.. the crosshair colour would serve as a reminder of that ;)

Nice idea that one. I'd prefer something automatic that the user doesn't have to go digging for an option on though.
