I'm experiencing the same problem. Additionally, my audio breaks while my game is crashing and doesn't work for a little while. I am also dx8 with max frames. Anyone have any ideas of what I can do, short of a reinstall?

shade was saying in twitch chat after the game that tagg would be uploading his POV + mumble comms later

bump because I'd still love some help

Hello all!
I play tf2 on my macbook pro and consequently have quite a few problems with custom HUDS. Thanks to community hud makers and gentlemen like omp that make their huds mac compatible it's rarely a problem. However, when I tried recently to install a font file (in .ttf format) on my mac, the font was cut off in wierd ways and the crosshair was just distracting and useless. I know what the problem is and I know how to fix it, I just need a good font editing software. Anyone have any recommendations or any knowledge of an easy fix?

Or, if that is unrealistic/too difficult, would any HUD maker be willing to edit the font for me? I'd be willing to compensate you for your time via paypal or tf2 items or whatever.

How the crosshair is supposed to look (258 HUD):

What it looks like on my computer when I install 258 hud:

This is what it looks like when I open the font in a font editor, the problem seems obvious I just need a non-demo version of true type/better editing software to be able to fix it.

Well what happens is I can only see half of one of the wings, and when I spoke to garm3n about it he said that the font doesn't work properly on macs. I have no idea what I'm doing but when I downloaded the true type font editor demo the characters were improperly aligned inside of the font editor. That is, the character was outside of the four lines. I was able to edit it so that the entire character was visible, but the true type demo puts a logo on the fonts so it was useless as a crosshair. I was under the impression that all I needed to fix the problem was a free font editor, maybe I am misinformed though. I'll attach a screenshot of what I mean as soon as I can.

hey omp :)

I just wanted to say thank you so much for making your hud so easy to edit and customize, what with including support for different resolutions and even for macs. As a mac user (D:) with a wierd resolution I truly appreciate it.

On another note, I really really want to use konr's crosshair on my mac but the font is all screwed up. Do you know of a free font editor that I could use to make the font mac-compatible?

Hey Omp, just tried out your hud and i love it, the only reason I'm not using it ATM is that some of the fonts are cut off (i have a mac, and I'm used to it.) I was just wondering if you knew of a font editing software that i could get for free. I've tried type tool 3 demo, font forge, and font constructor and haven't had much success, but if you know of some software, I'll edit the fonts so they align properly on macs (I know how just don't have the software), and if I get it working I could upload my edited fonts so you could integrate a working health font for other mac users. thanks :)

PS Would you like screenshots? I feel like I didn't do a perfect job of explaining the problem, if they'd help just let me know.

yo
first off, to get rid of the overheal cross change fgcolor inside of your event HudHealthBonusPulse so that whatever line references your cross changes the fgcolor to this "0 0 0 0"

and then here's what you have to do to change the overheal color. replace your event HudHealthBonusPulse to what i have below. I'm just copying and pasting what i have from chriz hud and possibly garm3n hud (i mixed portions of both together to make my own hud).

you will obviously have to change the colors around to what you like and change the names of the hud elements, simply ctrl+f and then replace all, my names for hud elements are pretty self explanatory i hope, hope you can change yours!

in case you dont know how to do hud colors (im sure you do) my best bet for neon blue would be something like
fgcolor "0 128 255 255"
or
fgcolor "0 255 255 255"
