found this in an old thread. its pretty handy and most of the huds ive used havent used it from what i can tell, so i thought id post it again.
Basically, your screen won't be filled up with red stuff. It's already a pain in the ass when you are blinded by explosions. It is also easier to see exactly which direction you took damage from since it is more precise.
How to put this into your HUD : This works with any HUD.
1. Go to your "tf" folder, and open the "scripts" folder.
2. Open up "hudlayout.res"
3. Ctrl+F "HudDamageIndicator" then replace whatever is under it with this:
"fieldName" "HudDamageIndicator"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"MinimumWidth" "10"
"MaximumWidth" "10"
"StartRadius" "80"
"EndRadius" "80"
"MinimumHeight" "30"
"MaximumHeight" "60"
"MinimumTime" "1"
OR
- If your hud doesn't have "HudDamageIndicator" :
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 from above.
- On the very top of the text file, under the first "{" paste this :
HudDamageIndicator
{
"fieldName" "HudDamageIndicator"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"MinimumWidth" "10"
"MaximumWidth" "10"
"StartRadius" "80"
"EndRadius" "80"
"MinimumHeight" "30"
"MaximumHeight" "60"
"MinimumTime" "1"
}
You can also adjust the values on your own. You can make it wider or thinner, closer or farther from the middle, longer or shorter, etc.

Pellovleyis it possible to change the color of the damage indicators with this?
Unfortunately no. The damage indicators themselves are images, this just says how to resize/place them on the hud.
You could always edit the vtf itself, but that'd only work in sv_pure 0.

I find that many huds do this, the big named older ones at least, they just comment out the entire section where this goody is.
