Various meters have x_offset(_minmode) or y_offset(_minmode) set so they don't overlap in their default hud positions, make sure to remove or change these values in your HudItemEffectMeter

I'm curious how you got all those status icons visible, did you use a bunch of addconds?

I have a suspicion the offsets is relative to how wide your HudPlayerHealth parent element is, change the width to not be the full screen and see if the icons get closer together.

HudPlayerHealth, duplicate and modify any element with %health% as textLabel and modify the fieldname to add extra health values in your hud.

Also your damage numbers and last damage text are now controlled through console with hud_combattext_red/_green/_blue, any extra ones defined in huddamageaccount.res can still be modified through the element itself or the hudanimation damagedplayer event.

-----------------

SourceScheme.res and check the fonts which are defined

Killfeed => scripts/hudlayout.res
Chat box => resource/ui/BaseChat.res (can be found in \hl2\hl2_misc_dir.vpk > resource/ui)
N.B. Make sure to also modify the hudanimation events moving HudChat accordingly

----------------

find the HudHealthBonusPulse(Stop) and HudHealthDyingPulse(Stop) events and make them target the health number elements instead of the shadow ones. Names of the elements can ofc be found in resource/ui/HudPlayerHealth.res

You know that any version of the steamid can be used for the nickname overrides, right? SteamID3 with or without brackets, STEAM_ and the 64 one all work.

Make sure to have vgui_cache_res_files 0 if you want to see changes made to your hud files reflected ingame with a hud_reloadscheme.

hud_reloadscheme 
Failed to load resource/UI/HudItemEffectMeter_Action.res
resource/UI/HudItemEffectMeter_Action.res missing ContinuousProgressBar field "ItemEffectMeter"

Welcome to Valve/TF2, they are checking for the HudItemEffectMeter_Action file, which doesn't exist (doesn't anywhere), which is why it's throwing this error. You can create your own _Action.res file if you want to get rid of the error, but when valve does add it your custom file will negate the newly added file.

Try again with the default hud file and apply your font/position changes to the main elements (text/cross) and see if they appear then.

Yes, what gave it away, the tag behind my name? :P

Position it in BaseChat.res and then make sure to 'override' the animation events which move chat:
HudTournament_MoveChatWindow is the event triggered at the start of the match, showing the team lists and calling the following 2 events:
- CompetitiveGame_LowerChatWindow (this obviously lowers the chat down)
- CompetitiveGame_RestoreChatWindow (resets to location provided, ideally matches the ypos in basechat)

Either modify the Lower/Restore events to have the same ypos values or comment out/remove the events in MoveChatWindow.

1. those are in the clientscheme somewhere, take a look at other huds which have square buttons and try to figure out which one is being used. The files for those panels are ClassLoadoutPanel & LoadoutPresetPanel (A-D)
2. get the status effects on a local server, make sure sv_pausable is set to one (or pause a demo) and use vgui_drawtree 1 and tick 'Highlight Selected', find the Player Health file and figure out where they might be on your screen
3. See 2 for finding hud elements with the vgui_drawtree.

@solly6 loading screen is StatSummary and the loading bar is using colors/borders/buttons from SourceScheme .res

HudHealthAccount.res (it's positioned in hudlayout.res though)

Try MatchMakingDashboardSidepanel.res, this should be #base included in a lot of the overlapping sidebar panels on the left and right side of the main menu (pingpanel/lobby settings and comp/mvm/casual matchmaking ones)

------

Resource/GameMenu.res probably still has a button entry defined, which hasn't been styled in Resource/ui/MainMenuOverride.res

@_Kermit, try the '-condebug' launch option, should output stuff to /tf/console.log, but won't help you with hud related crashes, which is what is happening on your end.

Either a hudanimation is out of date and missing events (use the manifest trick) and remove your gamemenu.res and mainmenuoverride.res and try hosting a local server again, chances are any custom buttons you've defined are not following the "new required standard" Valve magically enforces since the Meet your Match update.

I'm not saying they are required, but imo if you want to deliver a fully functioning hud, that keeps working after the contest has ended, can be downloaded by the masses and has a consistent overall look adding support for nice gamemodes might be nice to put some effort in.

The list I suggested is not the official required list of elements that need to be modified, it's just a general one you can use as a checklist when creating/modifying one, without specifying the menu/store/lobby/backpack elements, which could also be a thing for another contest.

And do not hate on MvM, that shit is legit and the default hud is disgusting to use there, please modify this when creating a custom HUD (you kinda have to when you mess with the scoreboard ;))

Thread posted by an American, I assume the deadline dates are mm/dd/yyyy :P So June instead or October as a deadline.

Would be cool if the (ingame) elements required to be modified could be listed in the OP, such as:
- Health
- Ammo/Metal
- Medic Charges
- Charge bars/Hud Counters
- Scoreboard
- Timers/Objective Indicators
- Engineer building status
- Build/Destroy Menus
- Spy Disguise Menu
- Disguise status
- MatchStatus Players in casual/tournament hud (tf_use_match_hud 1)
- Tournament Support (player panels/readying up)
- Game modes which must be supported:
> Control Point (KotH / 5CP / Attack/Defense)
> Payload (Race)
> Capture the Flag
> Mann vs. Machines
> Mann Power
> PassTime
> Robot Destruction
> Player Destruction
> Halloween maps with spells

(and otherwise you can use the list above as a checklist for when you're creating a hud)

Try removing or renaming resource/gamemenu.res and resource/ui/mainmenuoverride.res from your custom hud.

If you don't crash anymore you need to update the definitions of your (custom) hud menu buttons, which is now causing you to crash on server join.
