Hi There,

I'm looking to customize my hud some more, But I'm a complete noob with all this stuff, I want to improve on a few things in my hud and i was looking to get some assistance, Whether on steam or here.
I'm currently using a modified version of broeselhud, which was updated to work with the 2013 Halloween event Plus some bug fixes.

The things i need edited are:
*scripts from rayshud to alert me when a certain class gets damaged.
*Crosshair colour changing when damage happens
*Size of target healed to be larger
*Last Damage done to be bigger in size

I would appreciate any and all help. Thanks

You can add me and I can walk you through all that stuff. If you wanna just try it yourself first, here's what you'll want to do.

First off you need to decide if you want the rayshud "script" (called closed captions by the way) to be exactly the same as it is in rayshud in terms of positioning and font.

If yes:

    Copy over the relevant .ttf files from /resource in rayshud, in this case Cerbetica and its different variants, and then install them in clientscheme like outlined [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucnYBA2xYdo]here[/url] (rays even made this video heh). Then copy over closecaption_english.txt and closecaption_english.dat in /resource and the section in hudlayout.res entitled hudclosecaptions.

If no:

    Either create your own new [url=https://code.google.com/p/tf2captions/]closedcaptions[/url] or replace the rayshud font files referenced (I believe in closecaption_english.dat, not sure though), this is explained [url=http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/8335-custom-caption-tutorial]here[/url].

Rest are easy.

    Find your hud crosshair in hudlayout.res then open up hudanimations_tf.txt, find "event DamagedPlayer" (ctrl+f for damaged) and paste this in there then change "fogcrosshair" to the name of your crosshair.
    [code]Animate fogCrosshair FgColor "CrosshairDamage" Linear 0.0 0.00001
    Animate fogCrosshair FgColor "Crosshair" Linear 0.10 0.10001

    // Set the second line ("255 255 255 255") to whatever color you have changed
    // your crosshair to be. So if you crosshair is green, the second line should
    // also have that same value.[/code]
    Open up targetid.res and change the font under SpectatorGUIHealth to something bigger (you can find the fonts in clientscheme if you don't know of a bigger font).
    Open up huddamageaccount.res and change the fonts under CDamageAccountPanel if you want to change the size of the number above peoples' heads when you hit them and under DamageAccountValue if you want to change the size of the number that pops up above your health, judging from your screenshot it's the second one.
