Introducing WietHUD

Works with the Matchmaking/Meat your Match Update

• Using #base for core files (clientscheme.res/hudlayout.res/main menu) enables updating HUD by extracting the default hudfiles with the provided .bat file & HLExtract (command line version of GCFScape)
  
• hudanimations_manifest.txt to allow for modular & easier maintenance of animation files (no more broken contracts!)
  
• Very easy customization with themes & 4:3/5:4 resolution support (default to 16:9 widescreen)
  
• Multiple Themes (Orange/Red/(Light) Blue/Lime/Olive/Pink/Purple)
  
• More modern look & feel to Team Fortress 2 while using default assets/fonts
  
• Additional buttons in main menu; Start Recording, open console, snd_restart, record fix;stop
  
• Reduced size & optimized objective indicators & timers
  
• Small Engie Build/Destroy & Building Status Panels (look & code) + Pipboy & Xbox 360 controller support
  
• Full support for Mann vs. Machine + improved Upgrade Station look
  
• Useful keyboard shortcuts in backpack, store, crafting & server windows to browse/skip through pages (A/D/E)
  
• High Quality Item Images everywhere
  
• Toggle between bordered or solid colored item/skin backgrounds (comment #base line in clientscheme.res)
  
• Increased items on store pages to 24
  
• Single file controlling the look of all charge bars in the center of the screen (info)
  
• MvM finding an Australium audio playing when unboxing or trading up (with custom sound replacement)

ESEA has been using whitelist.tf but haven't downloaded a new version of the automatically updated whitelist .txt file yet

hudanimations_tf (or whatever it is called if the hud is using hudanimations_manifest to load more animation files) and find the section for HudHealthDyingPulse and change the alpha or fill color on the BG

That's an animation issue, update your scripts/hudanimations_tf.txt by comparing it to the default one

Ideally you would export/move your custom animation events to a separate file, add that file as line to the hudanimations_manifest.txt and leave the _tf one alone so it's using the one that comes with your game and doesn't get out of date anymore.

resource\ui\controlpointprogressbar.res

resource\ui\hudobjectivetimepanel.res for the positioning & resource\ui\hudobjectivetimepanel.res for the actual timer (which is also used twice in hudobjectivekothtimepanel.res for the King of the Hill clocks)

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

Record a demo in a lobby/pickup that has this enabled. I have one but it's a very long one, I'll try to make one that can be shared along with other useful demos to make editing in certain situations easier.

Duplicating the stuff from Mann vs. Machine would also work, you just need to add in the team2 delta_x offset iirc

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

Change "item_ydelta" in ClassLoadoutPanel in the top section to move them up or down.

The Tournament Setup is the one that 'drops down' when pressing F4 in mp_tournament 1 to change team names and change ready status, the HudTournament is the one with the player panels in MvM and with mp_tournament_readymode 2

I would suggest the same, or at least 'compare' and duplicate your original changes to a fresh file extracted from the VPKs or taken from here.

CharinfoPanel.res << compare yours to the default file or any other file with a HeaderLine and FooterLine set

This would somewhat kill customization as I think the VPK has priority over the separate files in your custom folder.

I will try this by extracting the default hudfiles for #base includes into a new VPK (basically moving them) for faster loading/smaller file size.

Impossible to have the above the head and the targetID sized differently.

In TargetID find spectatorguihealth and change "HealthBonusPosAdj" to it's default value of 10 and the HealthDeathWarning to 0.49 and see if this improves the issue.

Have a look at this thread explaining an 'anchor' trick with 'pin_to_corner' to move elements that seem fixed in the hud.
---------------------

mainmenuoverride.res is the file you're looking for to change where things are positioned
gamemenu.res for the button actions/tooltips
and overrrule the VTFs in the materials/console folder starting with background_ (have a look at /scripts/chapterbackgrounds.txt for which files exactly and add the _widescreen versions by duplicating it)

Have a look at Scoreboard.res?

It has to be the wide of the TimePanelValue (the one in HudObjectiveStatus.res)
-------------------------------

Editing the health bars is impossible afaik, changing the font is done by changing SpectatorVerySmall in ClientScheme.res

Disabling the health bars/names is setting visible to 0 in hudlayout.res for 'SpectatorExtras', outlines are controlled by console variables.

Which section of the MvM hud is broken?
Scoreboard.Res needs a section that loads the mvm scoreboard, not touching the MvMScoreboard.res should work, unless you made major changes to where the labels and values with player stats have moved (LocalPlayerStatsPanel)

Leaving out all the other files from your custom folder that are MvM related should make them revert to the default ones valve provides.

Local server and vgui_drawtree + Highlight selected ticked is the easiest way to figure out which hud element is what.

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

HudDamageAccount, change NegativeColor to be red in rgba (255 0 0 255) and the fonts to be an outline version defined in your clientscheme.res

This is all BaseChat.res stuff.

Best way to edit chat is to join a local server and pause the game (sv_pauseable 1; pause) so you can then vgui_drawtree reloadscheme when 'Highlight selected' is ticked and see changes you made to basechat.res instantly applied.

I had some fun hijacking the trade-up animation event to modify the uncrating sequence one, because the default one is broken after you've looked at a trade-up panel (it still shows the background thing)

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Z3bE9U9RWIg

With finding the fix for CollectionCrafting_ItemRecieved showing the background I also replaced the sound with the 'you found an Australium' sound.

Animate TradeUpContainer wide 0 Accel 0 0 // Fix for Trade-Up Background

Add the line above to the start of the aforementioned event to fix the uncrate animation sequence.
-------------------------------

Please tell me you're using the buttons_kv one and defining the buttons that need to be visible in GameMenu.res (as that is way easier to maintain than having to move each individual button to a certain spot.

ui/econ/ItemPickupPanel.res

bind ` toggleconsole // open console in backpack/store/item panels

It should not be needed for fonts to be installed; this was caused by a typo in the clientscheme.res with a closing curly bracket too many.
