read my post on how to figure out what is what in hud elements for future reference

CTF related files are: HudObjectiveFlagPanel, FlagCalloutPanel & FlagStatus.res

Glad I can help keep huds easier to update :D

Launch option:

-dxlevel 95 -novid -autoconfig

Rename your /custom folder so that doesn't affect your game, try the -default launch option?

Find/extract/download the default ClientScheme.res and find 'SpectatorVerySmall' that's the one responsible for the names above the players.

You don't look at the diff of the patch they were introduced because they were added across multiple updates; you compare your clientscheme.res file to the default one to see what you're missing.

this creates a border with a 1 pixel thick white border, but i would like its background to be black as well. is this possible without the use of custom materials?

When you use this border for your element add the following line:

bgcolor_override Black

If it's an ImagePanel you use 'fillcolor_override' instead and if the panel doesn't want to cooperate you can always try to add 'paintbackground 1'

I found something here:

Changed the value of DullWhite and got this as result

#base "../default_hudfiles/resource/ChatScheme.res" // Extracted default ChatScheme file

Scheme {
	Colors {
		"DullWhite"	"42 142 242 255"
	}
}

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

Rename custom or hud folder and try it without any custom files except resource/chatscheme and resource/ui/basechat.res being loaded?

Go on a local server and do the following in console

sv_pausable 1; pause

Now your game is paused, you can open chat and when you hud_reloadscheme you'll see the changes made to BaseChat.res

To actually change the colors for the chatbox you need to edit 'resource/chatscheme.res', which isn't modified by rays, so you'd have to extract that file and modify it yourself.

The original Chat Window file can be found in /hl2/resource/ui/basechat.res or on the actual RaysHUD repo...

Have you tried showschemevisualizer chatscheme yet? It has to be one of these I guess white, OffWhite, DullWhite

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

There is a _minmode in that section which moves things up, he's not using cl_hud_minmode 1?

Just checked the repo, you're missing the Steel A-E images (in 3 colors (neutral/red/blue) and 2 states (locked/default)) and also the A through E letters in the corners (showing on Gpit/standin/steel) if you want to get them all to work.

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

As Kermit said: HudTournament needs some if_readymode values to make the panel wider.

More hud issues/questions should go here instead ;)

Corrupt demo file, if regular playback doesn't work through console/demoui(2) then the demo won't work with Lawena either.

Have a look at: http://teamfortress.tv/14917/engineer-building-status-position

Besides the vtf you also need a .vmt with it to instruct the game how the vtf can be changed/used, more info about that here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Material_Type

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

Increase or decrease the font size by 1 or 2 and try again like Rawsor suggested.

Working on a fix/alternative for the health crosses to just be numbers (this will make it into the revisit of the FreezePanel)

PSA: You can use vgui_drawtree, tick 'highlight selected' & pause demos to figure out exactly which element you need to target if you browse the tree of hud elements!

The version you downloaded might not have had any contents in the default_hudfiles folder.

Updated the HUD to use a new extraction batch file (+ 32bit binaries) that leaves only the required files in the folder so I can provide them by default and have changes visible in diffs.

This should now be fixed so the hud works on Linux/Mac (please test to confirm) without requiring the extraction file (which is Windows only atm).
