You could theoretically mess around with custom fonts and colored elements though I've never messed around with HUDs myself in such ways

The HUD element is probably quite limited so I doubt there's a way to make it say something like "5 alive".
A very quick concept of something that is (probably) possible:

Remove the portraits, turn the names into a custom font that turns every symbol into an "I" and limit the names' width so every name is represented by a single line
(edit: maybe you don't even need a custom made font. You might be able to just put a text value inside the HUD element like capital i that always shows and remove names+portraits)

Maybe if you know how to work with HudAnimations you can toggle colored elements/text on or off depending on if the player is alive or not allowing for other possibilities?
Someone smarter than me who knows how HUDs work can probably figure something out

There's custom versions like aiera's posted above that do have names. Though idk why that's not part of the default version

this thread has multiple versions which can be put into any HUD. Aiera probably used this

Went from being a depressed mess who quit his chemistry degree in late 2018 to being relatively much happier about my life.

I spent 2019 working fulltime. It helped me get a rhythm back into my life which I'd been lacking for more than 6 years.
I started a new degree, programming, which I've been enjoying a lot and my grades so far have been amazing.
I was able to spend time with my friends at LAN and will soon be booking my stuff for Copenhagen 2020.
Working made me spend less time playing TF2 which made me streamline my attempts to improve. And it worked out because I basically went up a div despite dividing my playtime by 4.
I've tried to reconnect with irl friends a bit over the past year, something I've struggled with for my entire life.
I'm now working part time and combining it with my new degree.

Last year around this time I felt like I'd lost all goals in life after quitting my studies
The years before that I would be stressing around this time about exams and how I'd let everyone down yet again
This year I feel little stress about my studies and work. I'm in a way better place now

cu@ LAN

Now that we're on the subject, add ramp bug plug-in to all servers used for comp ty ty

sac cmon man... we're going to drop on the country tier list if you continue like that... not very cool bro...

Yea it can happen. Have had friends who've had the same happen to them when they tried using Lawena. I always make my own backup before recording to make sure

Kars for skill. I'd also count Mystt. Though Mystt and I've never been on the same roster we've played at least 100 mixes together at this point so it basically feels like we've been
edit: also Zolak. br soldier. Played with him at copenhagen19. Felt really bad for him because he's very good and could've played on a good LAN team but ended up on our mid/div2 mix

Huskuas for friendliness

A lot of people agreed when it was released. It's fine to mention OW and how TF2 names finally got the recognition they deserved but it focused on it way too much.

Things make more sense now with the logs of Dashner expressing bitterness towards TFTV because they didn't want to move to OW and the birth of essentials.tf

doesn't sound like something castingessentials does

Did you use Lawena? because that clears your custom folder and replaces it with its own stuff. It's possible you didn't end the program correctly causing it to not have the opportunity to put your stuff back.

If you used Lawena, check your tf folder. It creates back up files of your personal stuff. Don't remember what they're named but I think they're zip files with the word "bak" in the file name?

replace in tf\custom\m0rehud\scripts

Made this in 2 minutes. All you have to do is remove the content is HudHealthBonusPulse and HudHealthDyingPulse. Didn't test in-game but should work. If it doesn't, just open your own file and do it in there

am excited
