Hey guys, the second edition of the rayshud installer is out for testing. At the current time, only one crosshair can be added and not all crosshairs/resolutions are supported just yet (only 1920x1080 right now, sorry guys!), but the rest of the features should work just fine.

Included in this new version are the following features:

-The ability to backup previous versions of your hud (stored in the folder rayshud_backups in your tf folder)
-The ability to change your own health colors
-The option to enable a health cross/team colored border
-THe ability to change your own ammo colors
-The ability to choose between effects/customize low ammo colors
-The ability to change damage number size, color, and outline
-The ability to change the last damage done location and color
-The ability to change the color of the Ubercharge bar
-The ability to change the effect/customize colors for an uber
-The ability to change the chatbox location
-The ability to toggle between the oldschool, middle team/class select screens and the new left team/class select screens
-The ability to enable spy disguise images

To install, all you have to do is simply extract the zip anywhere on your computer, and in the folder, run the exe. If your version of rayshud is up to date, the bar at the top should be green. If it's not installed, the bar should be grey. If your version is out of date, the bar should be red.

Future updates will include...
-Heal Number Color Changing
-A more user friendly crosshair tab
-Multiple Crosshairs
-Saving setting selections between sessions (mostly works, but crosshairs continue to cause issues)
-Add the rest of the crosshair shapes (fighter pilot, konr wings, ect)
-Working Previews
-A ton of other stuff

Sorry it took so long. I have been swamped with other work.

Good work, Tree.

If you guys have any bugs with the installer, please post them here so that they can get resolved!

Updater link borked :c

Try this:

I'd love to know when a 1366x768 version comes out
Keep me updated rays :3

This works just fine on all resolutions, it's just that you'll have to adjust the crosshair stuff in hudlayout.res on your own for the time being. All of the crosshair options (such as color, pulse on damage, health colors, etc) will still work though!

rays is it just me that has a problem with the stopwatch timer thing? I fixed it last time by reinstalling my hud but after trying 3.21 or 3.2 my game crashes after the setup time starts in a stopwatch match

It might be left over from you reinstalling so many times on top of each other. If you're ever having any weird issues, completely delete your scripts/resource folders and then install them fresh with the latest version.

Stopwatch should work fine, sorry it's causing you issues. :<

Version 3.22 is out!

It includes the following fixes:

-Misplaced objects on MvM
-More fixes to adjust to font size
-A few errors/misplacements with the medic UI

You can get it here:

Nothing major here, just a few things that were bugging me. Don't forget to try out the new installer!

Hi rays, I've recently started using your HUD and I find it great. I've done few changes like colours etc., but there is something I need help with. How can I replace the Chatbox at left bottom of the screen instead of having it at high left. I'm just quite used to the default one. Thanks in advance.

http://www.mediafire.com/?p8ctk90pwrf11hq
Replace that scoreboard.res with yours

There's an option for that in the installer. :>

On the last page of tabs, just check the box associated with "Chat Box", and select bottom left.

Alternatively, if you don't want to remake the HUD, you can just delete the BaseChat.res file. That will move it back to it's default location.

hey rays which .res fles pertain to the scoreboard? I use a key bound to toggle minmode to switch crosshairs but i dont want the scoreboard to change every time. I'm honestly fine with the default scoreboard or the one that you have that is for 12v12, I just don't know which files to edit. I tried to do it myself and just broke stuff. Any help would be appreciated, if you're busy it's not necessary at all though I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.

It's all in ScoreBoard.res.

If you want it to not change anything upon minmode toggle, just search for all of the paramenteres that have the "_minmode" suffix, and remove that line of code completely.

But if I would replace it to the left bottom won't it overlap with tournament spectator? My resolution is 1366*768 so that might be the problem.

EDIT: And one more thing. After I had posted my first post when I asked how to move the chat I started playing TF2 and I reliazed I quite like the chat the way it is (left high). I'll try to move it to left bottom but if it will overlap with tournament spectator I'll rather move it back upward. And if this would happen how can I make it on my resolutin (1366*768) "bigger". It's just way too small I would like it wider so more text would fit in. Sorry for this chaos and thanks if you'll find the way out.

If you like it in the higher left position, all you have to do is edit the "width" value of the "HudChat" parameter in the BaseChat.res file.

And to answer your question, yes, it would overlap with the tournament spec. The only reason the lower left chat location is even an option is because a lot of people didn't like it in the top left and wanted to change it back regardless.

Thanks for the feedback though, hope I was able to help. :>

I thank you for helping me and please excuse my english it must have been awful to read my posts. I haven't tried to change that width value yet but I am quite sure it'll work. Cary on!

EDIT: I've tried to change the value and more or less it worked but I've also had to change the value of 'HudChatHistory' and 'ChatInputLine'. Works perfectly, thank you again.

Hi rays once again it's me. This isn't a question of life and death, but avatars which are shown in my scoreboard aren't looking like 'squares' but more likely like 'rectangles' and so they are cutted. Any hint?

do you think you could maybe add the quake konr wings as a hud crosshair for the next update? would be awesome

That's most likely because of your resolution. Running the game on a really low resolution can do that.

DOWNLOAD LINK 1.1

Hey guys, made a couple of changes to the rayshud installer.

Update 1.1 4/15/13:
-Fixed uber bar color changing back to the default color after an uber expired
-Fixed a bug with controls being disabled at the wrong times

-Added color selection for heal numbers
-Added controls will maintain their state between sessions, so if you select a health color, it will remain the same the next time you launch the installer. To revert to defaults, hit the default button. *THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR THE CROSSHAIR TAB YET*
-Added crosshairs that were missing. (ThinCross, KonrWings, and the FighterPilot)
-Added logging to try and fix some bugs.

-Completely Reworked the crosshair tab. It will hopefully be less terrible. You can now enable multiple crosshairs.

KNOWN BUGS:
Enabling konrwings, and wings at the same time will make konrwings invisible.

New crosshair tab:

In regards to the crashes people are having, I am trying to make the most stable installer I can, because I want to give you guys the best piece of software possible. I need the folks who are having the crashes to upload the log files that the installer generates now to try and give me an idea of what is causing the crashes. It's a lot to ask, but it would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

SWEET SHIT TREE

This installer is amazing, holy shit.

Tree, I love you and want to have your babies.

About the installer, turning on the glow for payload objectives fucks up the HUD and it doesn't seem to go back :<

Ammo goes to bottom bottom right and overheal/low health turn the same color as normal health.

I had the same problem as you. Kind of a. Try to reinstall the HUD it helped me.

The ease of use and extensive customizability of this installer (+ 9v9 hud, more people need to include this!) just made me switch.

Good god this is clean and beautiful. Great job, rays and Tree.

The installer is great, the only issue I'm having is that after using it my hudlayout.res looks like a jumbled mess and doing any further edits to it on my own is nearly impossible.

Open it up with a program other than notepad.

It should look fine on other editors for me. I'd recommend notepad++, but if you can't/don't want to get that, I think opening up in wordpad should work too.

Thanks man! Plan to make it look even sleeker in the future! :>

I haven't tested this yet as I have been busy setting up my new PC the past few days, but if I'm understanding you correctly, when you enabled the cart glow outline in tf2, it breaks the hud? I thought that was a console command that shouldn't have anything to do with huds, but I'll look into it within the next day or so.

Awesome HUD and awesome installer, really clean. Easily installed the HUD, and restored my settings to exactly the way they were when I uninstalled it to test as well. Very professional.

Hey Rays, I switched to your HUD today and love it. I have one question, though - I realize previews don't work yet, but is there a list somewhere that can show me what each crosshair actually is? I know what I want, but it's really difficult to pick the right one(s) when it's just a bunch of crosshair names.

Also, is there some way to implement a brosel-style crosshair switcher? I can do just one crosshair fine, but I'd like to have more than one available to me (I like default for the medigun, for example, but I'd rather use a cross with a dot for needles or wings for when I pub scout).
