@Jackal176 Make sure to also make an icon_obj_cap_mask.vtf

@ae resource\ui\econ\ItemModelPanel.res (have a look at the default file and compare with your 'broken' version)

@duck_ & @XenThePybro just use VTFEdit or one of the VTF plugins to create ingame textures.

The shadows you might be looking for aren't 'blur' on fonts in clientscheme instead of the dropshadows?

BumFreezemy health goes red at about 95 health. how do i change this to 110 so i know when i can be instakilled by scout/soldier?

in hudplayerhealth.res cntrl + f for huddeathwarning or something like that and change 0.49 to whatever percentage 110 is of 200. (55 I think? so it would be 0.55)

@weithood do you know if any of the vtf tools work on mac or will I have to keep using this nifty website?

The transparency of the mask is dependent on the transparency of the vtf. Change it to a solid if you want it to be completely invisible.

For not getting it to the end of the white box you probably screwed something up. Remember, you only want the vtf to cover what you want to get rid off.

I was able to fix the color box going to the end http://puu.sh/qVXKq/a14c28bcc9.jpg. I checked the refracting and the image is a 255 alpha white and the refract vmt is the same as the one you posted earlier.

VTF needs to have dimensions in powers of 2, so 2048*1024 will work, and then be stretched if you wide/tall f0 the image or use it as main menu background

Have you tried screwing around with the values in the vmt? Also you may have another hud element above the refract.
Unless if you screwed something up the refract should make everything invisible underneath it.

Hey guys, I asked a few days ago for suggestions on how to get some elements to show at will--basically what I was told was to have it recorded in a demo and play the demo back or change the timescale in a server with cheats on. For demos, this means I can just go to the tick(s) the element is visible at and replay it over and over. For timescale, that just allows me to make things happen quicker to get to what I need.

Both of these work great, but demos don't seem to save (or just don't show?) the matchmaking HUD--they look like any random community server pub instead of showing the class icons, respawn times, lights for each win at the top of the screen, etc.

I know this isn't exactly a question about editing HUDs, but it's relevant and a followup; any way I can activate/see this on my own without joining matchmaking... or a way to make the demos save/show it?

As always, thanks again in advance, guys. <3

You need to join mm if you want to edit the hud. Sorry.

flumeHow can I move the chatbox to the right?

Basechat in resource -> ui

Mess around with the xpos and ypos values in the "hudchat" field. It should be the first thing you see. If your hud doesn't have a basechat file, extract the file from the default hud files and go at it from there.

XenThePybroCan someone tell me about the blur option for fonts in clientscheme.res please?

from the valve dev wiki:
"blur is not the degree of blurriness, but rather the number of times the blurred font should be rendered additively on top of itself during the TrueType rasterization. Therefore, the number 5 ensures that the blurry number will be quite bright on screen."

just add blur # to the font definition to make that font blurry. for example:

juliaBlurMedium
{
	"1"
	{
		"name"	"Nimbus"
		"tall"		"28"
		"antialias" "1"
		"custom"	"1"
		"weight"	"0"
		"range"	"0x0000 0xFFFF"

		"blur"		"3"
		"additive"	"0"
	}
}

values from 1-3 are nice for text shadows in my experience

can I animate an image to turn into another image e.g. a square into a circle?

If I can would I do it by oversizing the circle in a square panel?
