good font kerning

simplicity

.

Clear but, unobtrusive kill feed, a scoreboard that you can see though well and read quickly. For the health and ammo I enjoy large enough text so I can read it easily through peripheral vision.

huds that already come with good crosshairs

Originality, but that it isn't too artsy that it gets in the way of the game.

My perfect HUD would be simple. I don't want all of this shit in my face when I'm trying to play. I want my health and ammo visible when I'm not necessarily looking at it, but I don't want them as my crosshair basically.

I want a scoreboard that is transparent so I can see what's going on behind it. I also want a simple scoreboard that only tells me the stats that I need to know and who's playing. Stats like kills, deaths, captures, ubers, maybe headshots, but not stats like bonus, teleports, defends, etc.

I also like damage numbers that appear above the person I shot's head area and don't disappear almost immediately.

Old KNHUD is probably the best example of how to do it right. Minimal, easily visible, nothing flashy.

Whoever needs lime green ammo and hot pink reserve ammo has bigger issues than their HUD.

A clean-cut one with all the original buttons of the default HUD, but with a contemporary design. A health cross with a good font(or ability to change it). A centered medic charge bar,(like the one in Rayshud) and a scoreboard that shows all the teammates and necessary
information, whilst being transparent so I can see behind it at a glance. A superb target ID, and a kill feed with that displays enough without being obtrusive.

Class selection menus, team selection menus that aren't difficult to navigate, and damage numbers that are large enough to see but doesn't hinder your aim. I change my HUD almost every day(I know, I know), but a HUD like this I would keep.

PERMA SCOREBOARD
I WOULD PAY FOR THIS

this literally isn't possible and if anyone figures it out it'd be considered cheating lol

I was considering making a modified scoreboard for 6s that would only have stat info for kills deaths, captures, assists, ubers, headshots, bonus(meds killed with uber) and maybe doms/revs. Wouldn't be very hard to make and the normal 12v12 scoreboard would keep those stats if you did want to see them

ya but i don't really care about how many doms/revs i had in the game. that's what i mean by stats i don't want to see. doms, revenges, defends and whatnot.

+sb in console?

or +showscores or what have you

oh apparently you cant change weapons

I think players have such varied preferences when it comes to their HUD that the best you can do is to include as many different user-changeable variables as possible. Broesel HUD is a good example of this because, even though it isn't very pretty or flashy, most people can easily modify the colors, targetids, health cross, crosshairs, etc to their liking without much work. They can kind of make it "their own." Garm3n HUD takes a different approach but provides the same level of customization, which is why I think at the end of the day Broesel and Garm3n are so popular.

He means with health/ammo

This would be a really cool hud if someone could make it

(it's not a real hud, it's from a frag video)

You can actually change weapons with the scoreboard out if you do

use tf_weapon_<name>

instead of slot1/slot2/slot3

use tf_weapon_<name>

Can you give me an example? How would I change to the stickybomb launcher?
Nevermind I got it working, thanks for this tip!

use tf_weapon_<name>

be wary if you change your loadouts.

That is not a problem in the slightest, as long as you bound your weapon select keys to aliases that contain every possible weapon.
Here are those aliases

However, it's a pain in the ass to update those aliases with new weapons.

A casting HUD that lines the teams up by class (Medic, Demo, Pocket, Roamer, Scout, Utility), with the Uber % colored to indicate which medigun is in use by medics.

Isn't possible, class order afaik is server ordered.

I just want something simple that works as intended.

I like to see as little as possible, just the essentials. Less is more.

Also Garamond. Sexy ass font (would settle for Caslon or Baskerville). (I would make one myself if I wasn't so ham-fisted)

I like the TF2 minimal hud. Keep health and ammo in the corners. I want 80% of my screen to be clear of hud.

The whole point of keeping information close to your crosshair is to minimize the time it takes for you to look at your health and keep your focus on the middle of your screen.

Originality like in BXHUD.
