Hud help please.

Hello,

I've been having some troubles installing a HUD and was wondering if the tf community could help me out. Ok, to get things started, I have a custom HUD already installed and wish to replace it with a new one. My current HUD is "Broselhud" which can be found here-
"http://code.google.com/p/broeselhud/";

I wish to replace it with the Garmen TF2 HUD which can be found here.
"http://www.sdx-gaming.eu/?page_id=4097";

The problem. (excuse my lack of knowledge on the subject) I figured the installation of the new hud would be as easy as putting the "new" extracted files in "tf" folder like my last hud required and they would just be overwritten. I did this and nothing happened. Could someone possible tell me what I'm doing wrong, clarify, or possibly provide a link to the installation instructions for the Garmen HUD? I'm unsure If I have to uninstall my previous HUD(which I have no clue how to do)or a possible re-install of TF2 files. I'm trying to be as clear as possible, I can understand if you have questions since I am quite unsure of what I'm talking about.

Thanks.

just rename or delete the resource and scripts folder from broesel hud, then put the new resource and scripts folder from garm3n into your tf folder

Thanks for replying. I actually just found, nestled deep between the lines of the garmen Hud webpage, similar things as you just stated. I will try and see if it works, will post back in a bit.

Thanks.

Ok, so I'm having some problems. I deleted the old recourse folder and extracted the garmen.zip file to my tf folder. Now, the folder in which the Garmen files are in is named "Garmen_hud177". Do I have to rename this folder as "resources" for tf2 to register the new HUD? As of now my Tf2 HUD has returned to the default layout, with some strange visual glitches occurring.

Thanks.

huds are made up of files in tf\resource and files in tf\scripts

firstly delete both of those folders

then get the resource and scripts folders from whichever version of garmens hud that you want

lastly extract those and put them in your tf folder
