HUD editing: short questions, quick answers

I was wondering what's the quickest/easiest way to transfer the scoreboard from some other HUD to you own HUD.
Right now I'm trying to use the scoreboard from Mr_Slins HUD (https://github.com/misterslin/SlinFireHUD) to use it with my own HUD, but when I simply copy and paste the scoreboard.res file, the scoreboard doesn't work properly and I get numbers in wrong sizes or missing entirely.
What else do I have to change to make the scoreboard work?
Had the same problem when I tried to copy different scoreboards in the past, but still didn't figure it out :(

The SLIN scoreboard is basically default hud with default fonts, just some things hidden/disabled. You're most likely messing with the scoreboard fonts in your own clientscheme.res which then causes issues in this file. Them cutting off is most likely you increasing font-size and the default bounding box size being too small for them to fit.

so I posted a similar question in the m0rehud black thread but never got a response, so might as well ask here.

How would I go changing the colors of the buffed/hurt boxes (found in m0re black) in VTFEdit (assuming that's where I would edit them)? I've never dealt with materials like this and consequently have no idea where to even start

How would I go changing the colors of the buffed/hurt boxes (found in m0re black) in VTFEdit (assuming that's where I would edit them)? I've never dealt with materials like this and consequently have no idea where to even start

My recommendation would be paint.net + vtf plugin or the same plugin for photoshop instead. They just make the whole process a lot easier.

Otherwise, using VTFEdit you can export the image into another file format (tga is recommended but if that's what you want would depend on what you're using to edit it) and when you're done changing it around however you want, use VTFEdit again to turn it back into a vtf.

e: didn't realize they were purely vmt's. Open up the files in any text editor and change the values for:

"$color"      "[0.0 0.47 0.78]"

0.0 is the same as 0 (or 00 in hex), 1.0 is the same as 255 (or FF).

there's a VTF and VMT file for the material that's being used. Does that change what I have to do? Also I'm not seeing a "$color" field within the VMT

"UnlitGeneric"
{
	"$translucent" 1
	"$baseTexture" "vgui\replay\thumbnails\buff"
	"$vertexcolor" 1
	"$vertexalpha" 1

My bad, must've got things mixed up. In that case go with what was striked out, you'll want to edit the buff vtf and that's how you'd do it.

so I got the VTFs done, but I'm not sure what to do to get the VMT files. Should I just duplicate the one that I got from the m0rehud files? Or is there another step that I need to take to get them? Are they even required?

How do I replace a hud's main menu background image? I love flathud but the main menu is just dark and depressing.
Either that, or replace the main menu entirely with one from another hud

I'd appreciate detailed instructions because I'm a troglodyte

StepanexIs it possible to have different ammo position for each class and weapon?

You can change minmode in class cfgs (so you can basically have two different huds if you want) and ammo labels are set up so that they're different for weapons with or without clips (so there's 4 labels for clips and 2 for weapons without clip).

That's about it without ridiculously broken workarounds that are only good as a proof of concept.

StepanexI want to have a label that will change according to what weapon I am holding as a medic, could that be possible?

You can have a label that says "you have your primary out" in your ammo panel and another label that says "you have your medigun out" in the medic charge panel, and if you have a background in your ammo to cover it up when not needed you could have "you have your melee out" in your hudlayout too.

There's no way for the hud to know what weapons you actually have equipped though.

yes it would. just make sure that you either convert stored color values into RGB code (ex: "DamageYellow" -> 255 250 0 255) or just paste the color entry into your own clientscheme.res file.

Also be sure to do the same for custom fonts. The way that I'd recommend is to simply match the font type with one that's already in your hud (ex: Veranda24 -> Roboto24).

Go into your hud files

Resource -> ui -> hudplayerhealth.res

Search for "playerstatusbonusimage" (I think that's the field name) and set the xpos to a very large number (9999 for example). Save the file and if you're in game, type hud_reloadscheme into your console and you should see a change

I've been trying to make the shadow of my health/ammo numbers bigger than the white number itself, while they both have the same x- and y-pos so the shadow becomes sort of a outline around the number.
Problem is, whenever I change the tall and wide values they somehow act just like the x- and y-pos values and change the position of the shadow instead of making the number bigger.
Using a bigger font for the shadow doesn't really have the effect I want either.

So is there a way to make the shadow numbers bigger, without changing their positions at all so they stick out from under the white numbers the same amount on all sides?
