YourHUDs: Switching huds with ease.

I'm constantly switching HUD's and trying new settings out in TF2, I thought that I could create a more seem-less way of being able to install HUDs/switch huds. So I built a small GUI, which will allow users to install HUD's. The source code can be easily changed to change buttons from the preinstalled huds to your own custom huds. There also includes blank buttons for which users can add to.

I have more plans for this software, such as adding the ability for users, to add their own buttons, but for now editing the source code and building it into a exe is the only way, but its pretty easy to do this.

[github repo](https://github.com/Croudxd/YourHUDs)
[github release](https://github.com/Croudxd/YourHUDs/releases/tag/v1.0.2)

github readme.md
YourHUDs

A small application to allow user's to automatically install custom TF2 HUD's into their TF2 Path. Using C++, Qt and python.

This application is built for windows, and currently remains untested on Linux and Unix devices.

It's as a simple as a user clicking on a HUD they wish to install. Clicking the installation button. Which will download a ZIP file from GitHub of one of the many HUDs customized by other user's and directly install and unzip into a directory of your choosing.

**Requirements:**

- Windows
- Latest version of [Python](https://www.python.org/) with it in your PATH variables.

For anyone wanting to customize the source code and add own HUD's/buttons. Its as simple as creating a button, and using the setHud() function to assign all the required data for the hud class. Once done you should be able to automatically install the new HUD.

**Upcoming features:**

- Allow user's to add custom HUDs within the GUI, no need to edit the source code.
- Store the user's install path so user's do not need to re-enter it when trying to install (Not for the first time).
- General over-all bug fixes.
- Add a progress bar for installation.
- Adding more HUDs.

**How to install:**

- Go to releases, install latest release.
- Once installed unzip into any directory.
- Open the exe, but make sure not to move the exe out of the zip file, this will mess up the program.
- Click a HUD to install, you can use the left and right buttons to see the different pictures.
- Click install and Enter your TF2 custom path such as `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom` for most users.
- Give 10-15 seconds and it will be installed.

Please make sure to report any issues to me either here or my discord @croudxd.

Also i can add your huds to this, just upload them to github and send the link and i will add them and update.

Also also made this [Transparent viewmodel installer](https://github.com/Croudxd/TransparentViewmodelsInstaller) for any one interested in switching from transparent to non transparent but might need some modification but im more interested in the hud project.

edit apparently none of the markdown worked here but oh well

i would really really love a tool that changes huds for me on a push of a button, but if my only options are huds YOU personally put on the app, this idea is a bit of a non-starter for me. i was hoping it'd be something i can fill with locally downloaded huds and then just hotswap them when i feel like having a new one

edit nvm i see you have that planned as a function. will be looking forward to that getting added :D

I made my own version of this. It doesn't come with any huds baked in. It just uses locally installed huds. It has the ability to favorite, search, and open the huds' folders. It's also cross-platform.

To use it, create a folder in your custom folder called huds and then put your huds in there. You can put the executable in the custom folder or the huds folder.

download and github

(ignore the hud names in the gif, those were just for testing)
