#121 Persistent crosshair setting

[Silas Humphreys]

It would be great if I could set an option to "Use crosshairs when possible", so that I don't need to toggle the crosshairs on every time I run the app. I say "when possible" because such a setting would need to handle joining servers which disallow crosshairs gracefully.

My two cents on this:

Crosshair state isn't maintained across levels. I've never played another game that has the option of displaying crosshairs, where you have to reset them every time you switch levels. Unless a level's mml or lua specifies otherwise, the crosshairs should stay off until they're turned on, and stay on until they're turned off.

I totally agree; there should be an option in the crosshair menu like "allow crosshairs", and this setting should be saved to your prefs file to make it persistent. I really can't see the point of having to hit F8 every time we start the program.
