Slayer6As for the spectator panel do we need to change xpos in order to come to the right place or there is a possibility valve will fix it?

With the Gun Mettle Update, changing the value of team1_player_base_offset_x in spectatortournament.res does nothing. Seems Valve hardcoded it for whatever reason. Only team2_player_base_offset_x works. We don't know if Valve will fix it yet.

Eedy_This might be a scrubby question and might have been answered already, but how would I edit the font of only the health and ammo values in a hud?

If the fonts are already defined, you can edit hudplayerhealth.res and hudammoweapons.res in resource\ui and change the fonts therein. If it's not defined, you'll have to add them in the clientscheme.

MightyThat did the trick. The names were off. Right now, when I try and set it to how I desire it to be, it goes way off the screen. The vgui_drawtree shows that the box/panel for huddemomanpipes.res is too small, and it'll get cut off even if I move it an inch up. How do I enlargen it?

qq is this like, an impossible thing to fix?

Edit the positioning and size of HudDemomanPipes in hudlayout.res to fit your needs. Then you can move each property within the box in huddemomanpipes.res.

Does anyone know what controls the highlight color of a selected player in the scoreboard? Somewhere I missed in hudanimations or score.res? Hardcoded? Thanks.

does anyone know if %servertimelimit% functions anywhere besides hudobjectivetimelabel hudobjectivestatus and scoreboard?

or is it possible to have 2 objects in hudlayout with the same fieldname display simultaneously? like two hudobjectivestatus's with different xpos's and wide values?

also what does adding 'f' to a wide value change and are there other modifiers you can use? I can't find any documentation for anything anywhere ever

Does anyone know what breaks a HUD for use in OS X? I assume it's related to fonts, but can anyone tell me how to fix it? Also, does it break for Linux too?

wrong, nope. having identical fieldnames results in the last-read (lowest in hudlayout.res) instance of the control being the one applied onscreen. shadows are made with modified fieldnames, e.g. AmmoInClipShadow.

I put spec_extras in spectator.res, but only the playerhealthbars show up. Outlines and names don't. Are there other files?

Anything, as long as it's not the same as another panel. Call it "fuckboi", the HUD still reads it. Magic, that.

This was mentioned a page or two back, you need to make sure you have the font defined in clientscheme.res. Can't remember what it's called off the top of my head though.

After I changed the labels, my scoreboard looks like this, but it fixes after I do a hud_reloadscheme (needs to be redone everytime I restart the game). Ideas?

Does anyone know how to change the item quality borders in the backpack back to how they were pretty gun mettle? At the moment the quality border only shows when you mouse over the item but I would prefer it to show all the time.

I have tried removing the backpack panel.res from my HUD folder but that didn't fix it.

Sorry if this has already been asked

Thanks, that fixed the playername. Any idea about the outline?
It's not really an outline, but rather overlays the whole playermodel with red/blue and the screen is way darker.

is it possible to edit the size of the vaccinator resist icon that shows up when you're being healed? I can only figure out how to enlarge the one that shows up when Im healing someone else.

I was aiming for subtle changes, like changing KillsLabel to Kills (being different from other fields) and the result was the one mentioned. Changing to something completely different fixed it. Weird outcome, though.

That's because there's already a Kills label. You've overridden them. Call them KillsLabel2, for example.

I tried Kills*something* several times and left the Kills below as it was by default, but the text would always vanish, unless I did a hud_reloadscheme. Then I tried putting something completely unrelated and it worked. Quite weird.

Either way, thanks for helping!

For some huds the custom backgroud is high quality when loading at the start but degrades in quality when at main menu, while others like 7hud manages to retain the quality in main menu. What causes this?

Funny thing I asked the same thing to myself yesterday. Found a solution but you need a program called VTFEdit.

Find and open your custom background .vtf file using VTFEdit and make sure you have settings ticked just like the example screenshot below. Save and close it, then it should work!

http://i.imgur.com/5bpt3ym.png

The background quality changes with respect to your screen resolution/quality of material etc. What this method does it to force the high quality background despite which video settings you use by clamping!
