The new target IDs:

The secondary target ID (healing) is more or less the same as before, just with the different background.

Discernable hud changes:
-new targetid update (researching fix)
-kart meter (huditemeffectmeter_kartcharge.res)
will update as i look through the game more
oh i see what they did, that's honestly the worst idea ever
-
Add this code to hudlayout.res to enable the minigame huds:
HudMiniGame
{
"fieldName" "HudMiniGame"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "0"
"wide" "f0"
"tall" "480"
}
Each minigame has its own file and I don't see one for the cart one yet.
edit: the styling is all controlled by the base, each separate file just has the diff. image (phew)

Really hope they allow for old targetID via a cvar or something.

So is it the new TargetIDs or is the hud broken when the health appears a good bit above his head?

fixed broken hud. oops!
Red_So is it the new TargetIDs or is the hud broken when the health appears a good bit above his head?
It's new target IDs. The cool thing, I guess, is that the health and the rest of the target ID move independently, with the health sticking above the player model and the rest being static on the HUD. One unfortunate aspect is that the health and the rest of the target ID cannot overlap.

I actually dread these updates. I know they're really exciting and cool, but I just don't want to deal with pubs being even worse, and having to fix my HUD. I'd love for tf2 to go in a more serious direction at least once, but HATS = $$$.

sevennncan u make the health in the targetid.res huge so you can see health from like across the map clearly??
The health doesn't scale based on distance, it is actually drawn on the HUD and not in-game but it does stay more or less directly above the playermodel unlike the rest of the target ID.

I actually just tried this update out for once, and I can't see how pubbers could even find this fun.

That and it looks absurd.
