Prepare for a wall of text, I hope you're used to it since the recent TF2 update :D

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

First a quick info/intro thingy:

This is pretty much a complete re-design of the HUD. I had the luxury of having Garm3n and Ell help me make this. Some of the new elements are pretty much straight from Garm3n's new HUD "REX" (it's an amazing HUD btw).

This design is not final, but I will keep yA_HUD to a single version from now on. I will expand the options a bit again and I will try to make it as easy as possible to modify the HUD. The clientscheme is now the new home for a lot of the customization. You can make various elements visisble there.

Please provide feedback for this new version using the tf.tv thread, steam group or the GitHub issue tracker.
I know that some changes might be a bit hard to get used to, but I believe that many changes I made are for the better.

The old version of the HUD should be usable for a while and you will be able to use some of the new stuff with your old version as well. I won't offer much support for the older versions. If you miss certain aspects let me know. However, please don't dismiss this re-design simply because it's different.

About some specific design choices:

Alignment of the HP/Ammo and their boxes.
This creates a stronger visual effect for being "low", since there will be a bigger empty space in the red background.

Medic HUD
The charge count panel on the right is smaller, the % sign disappears when have the uber ready to create space for the "100".
The meter subtext changes from "UBER" to "UBER AVAILABLE" when you have the uber ready.
I put a box over the vaccinator HUD in order to be able to use custom shadows for the %-label.

Top left corner
The quake-like timer location allows for the font size to be bigger. This makes reading it easy and makes it work better for lower resolutions.
The top-left corner became a location for general game info with this re-design, including the CTF info, Arena player count, KOTH timers & MvM info. The small amount of space gained in the center can be used to see bombers and general action now. This change will probably take some time to get used to.
Timer supports "tf_hud_show_servertimelimit 1" now.

Building Panel re-design.
You can see more now, yay!

ChargeMeters
Gives you more vision in the center. You can even disable the MeterText easily to be able to see even more.

Killfeed
Deathnotices have no background by default now, which again makes it easier to see what's going on behind the text. The font is slightly larger to help make it easier to read. Colors are re-adjusted as well. You can enable a background for the killfeed in the clientscheme.

Info for various game modes
CTF interface now includes the "Playing to X" info.
Visuals for the ctf pointers are a bit cleaner as well.

Massive thanks to everybody that helps me do things.

Special thanks go out to Garm3n, he's the best!

I would prefer the exit sign over badlands last main to be solid again, it was a cool walking route, same goes for pretty much every hiding spot & route that involved those signs, not sure if valve simply considers them all to be not intended before.

You can look at the blank version with the team-colored hp cross for the team colored BG. There are 2 entries for the 2 parts of that border there.

You'll have to change "PlayerStatusHealthImageBG" alongside with the hp image to change the backgrounds. I linked some stuff in the FAQ if you want to dig deeper into this.

It's a custom font (I used FontForge). Then you can use textinset to cut off the colon on the left side of the time turning ": 27:15" into "27:15".

Thanks for the tip, took in the change for all the background files :)

I love my Sennheiser HD380 Pro.

They are sturdy, closed headphones & you can fold them together for travelling purposes. The cable is very long, heavy, extendable & can be unplugged, which means that you can replace it easily if it ever breaks.

If you don't plan on travelling that much with your headphones you should also take a look at AKG headphones, they make great monitoring headphones as well.

I know about this issue (I put it up on GitHub already), but changing the font size in the clientscheme makes some other fonts way too large and changing it in the .res file for the MvM interface does not make a difference. I would have to re-do some files to make it work. I will take a look at it again at some point, but it will take some time.

Edit: I did a quick fix for the font size now, let me know if any text appears too large. I fixed the text being too large on the TimePanel, but there might be some other places where that font is being used.

New Class & Team selection screens.
These are closer the original style of garm3n's menus.

First thing is so that the spectator hud does not clip really badly. It's not solved properly in the HUD though. Afaik this might be hard-coded.
The metal pickup thingy is in HudAccountPanel.res.

Garm3n has ported one of his HUDs for konr and it's 640 x 480.

afaik it includes all of the new konr crosshairs.

Added this menu, since some wanted it added to the HUD.

Here's what I wrote in the other thread:

alias "store" 			"open_store"
alias "shop" 			"open_store"
alias "givevalvemoney" 	"open_store"
alias "bp" 				"open_charinfo"
alias "backpack" 		"open_charinfo"
alias "items" 			"open_charinfo"
alias "demo" 			"demoui"
alias "d" 				"demoui"
alias "replay" 			"replay_reloadbrowser"
alias "sb" 				"toggle cl_hud_minmode"
alias "scoreboard" 		"toggle cl_hud_minmode"
alias "qt" 				"quit"
alias "dc" 				"disconnect"
alias "vote" 			"callvote"
alias "adv"				"opentf2options"   

Thanks again for the shortlink, atmo :)

Because those don't have the model preview thingy (most likely).

I'll probably add it to the HUD once I've finished editing it, I'm thinking of moving those bars to the sides so that it works with all resolutions.

Which hud variant are you using?
