ravenThanks, now I would like to know if I can use the stat screen and background from QTCHud in OmpHud? And if its possible what do I need to edit?

If something works in one hud it can work in another hud. How easy it is to do depends on how much extra baggage goes into the file you are transplanting. At the very least you will have to add in font definitions and color definitions.

I'm assuming this "hitmarker" shows up when you hit a shot on someone? If so you'd just have to remove the section for it in hudanimations.tf I believe.

Wiethoofdface2face-snip-Change "item_ydelta" in ClassLoadoutPanel in the top section to move them up or down.

all that does is change how far apart the item slots are in the y direction, can anyone help with moving the loadout preset buttons(A,B,C,D)? if it isn't possible i'd like to know, im sure this is a problem you guys have run into before

It moves with the left side item panels. It's also pinned to the center of the screen horizontally. You can't move it separately.

I would love it if, upon death, a text box came up saying how high my killstreak was. Is this possible? Seems dumb that by now it isn't an option in TF2 as I think a lot of people would like it.

Thanks, I got it to work. What about the dialog box that says "The Enemy Intelligence has been dropped"? How can I disable it? I tested around in hudobjectiveflagpanel but I couldn't fix it.

Go into your hudlayout.res and ensure your HudScopeCharge isn't changed from default, which i put in the spoiler below

Show Content
HudScopeCharge
{
"fieldName" "HudScopeCharge"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"xpos" "c64"
"ypos" "c-64"
"wide" "64"
"tall" "128"
}

That should fix it.

As long as you make sure the new background you're replacing with the old one has the same name, there shouldn't be an issue. Just make sure they're .vtf

Well if you're adding the backgrounds, ensure that the names are background_upward.vtf and background_upward_widescreen.vtf (which it seems you already have)

The only issue is, if m0rehud wasn't made with custom backgrounds in mind, then you'll only see your custom bg part of the time. To fix this you need to DL this file from here (just right click and save-as) and place it in your script folder. That will make the game use the custom background_upward.vtf you put in the materials/console/ folder every time it loads.

This just happens sometimes with anti-aliased fonts, I don't think there's a way around it other than a different font size
