oooh thanks a ton! hadn't seen that reply, i don't know how to look for stuff within threads as long as this one o_0
worked perfectly, chat stays in place now. thanks!

hello! i'm using ahud (https://huds.tf/forum/showthread.php?tid=191) and i can't get the chat box to stick at the top left or bottom left corner. i tried using the customization files provided in the hud (a modified basechat.res) and editing the basechat file myself to little use. i could save the changes to the file, reload the hud and the chat box would be where i wanted it to, but dying, changing teams, joining another server and changing maps would reset its position to the "default".

the default position: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1626318553602375602/D45FB2FE2F99B871423F741061F1630F41AB6566/

the chat box momentarily staying in the corner: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1626318553602368628/BF95348352B091A45C7FB08978D933AB9F864E28/

i did try changing the chat box defined in hudlayout.res but it didn't work either :( what do i do?
misteriously enough there is one customization that sorta works and it's the one that puts the chat in the "bottom right" (xpos r211, ypos r115) - what could it be?
