You might have seen this empty box if you ever tried to pull a clip from a demo on a KOTH map using a movie HUD. It appears in the top left corner as soon as the point is capped. It stays in the corner till the round is over and is kinda annoying.

Lawena uses this movie HUD as well. I see this box in videos all the time so I'm guessing people don't know how to get rid of it. So if you care, I thought I would explain the fix for everyone who's making videos out there.

You need to find the folder where the movie HUD is stored and edit it. The location can vary but ie. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\%steamname%\team fortress 2\tf\lawena Recording Tool\hud\killnotices\scripts

Open hudlayout.res in a text editor like notepad

Find the HudKothTimeStatus section and make it look like this instead.

HudKothTimeStatus
{
"fieldName" "HudKothTimeStatus"
"visible" "0"
"enabled" "0"
"xpos" "c-100"
"ypos" "0"
"wide" "0"
"tall" "0"

"blue_active_xpos" "16"
"blue_active_xpos_minmode" "55"

"red_active_xpos" "106"
"red_active_xpos_minmode" "105"
}

Don't know if this fix is documented anywhere anymore so I thought I'd add it on tf2tv.

OMG THANK YOU, You are the MAN!

*edit* my lawena didn't have a HudKothTimeStatus, so I just edited my HudRoundTimer. Hopefully it fixes

Looked this up ages ago, but never made anything serious enough I wanted to bother finding it again. Thanks for posting here for future easy access!

I think if you don't see that section just paste in what I have there.

Heyy, sorry for the bump but I think this is a kinda similar problem. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with KOTH though, it happens on every map for me. Using Lawena, killnotices hud in POV demos.

Top left corner, some weird text with "T-1000", always the same.

Anybody figured this out yet?
