Pretty sure it's from this thread

Which colors do I have to edit in chatscheme.res to change the background color of the chat box?

Okay, so my friend is experiencing this:

And I have absolutely no idea why this happens to him, but doesn't for me. He's using PVHUD with a scoreboard fix from
this post. I tried it on my PC and I don't have this issue.

Have you tried showschemevisualizer chatscheme yet? It has to be one of these I guess white, OffWhite, DullWhite

--------------------------------------------------

There is a _minmode in that section which moves things up, he's not using cl_hud_minmode 1?

it's probably not white offwhite or dullwhite because it's transparent. Also, whenever I do showschemevisualizer of anything but clientscheme my game just crashes.

I found something here:

Changed the value of DullWhite and got this as result

#base "../default_hudfiles/resource/ChatScheme.res" // Extracted default ChatScheme file

Scheme {
	Colors {
		"DullWhite"	"42 142 242 255"
	}
}

---------------------------------------

Rename custom or hud folder and try it without any custom files except resource/chatscheme and resource/ui/basechat.res being loaded?

this creates a border with a 1 pixel thick white border, but i would like its background to be black as well. is this possible without the use of custom materials?

When you use this border for your element add the following line:

bgcolor_override Black

If it's an ImagePanel you use 'fillcolor_override' instead and if the panel doesn't want to cooperate you can always try to add 'paintbackground 1'

where can i find the hud file that displays damage on the scoreboard and the file that controls the taunt menu

Damage is in scoreboard.res under the name "Damage" and "DamageLabel". Taunt menu is in hudmenutauntselection.res

How do I add the player names above the health bars in spectate? I know they are present in the default HUD, and looking at the diff in the patch they were introduced is not helping me.

I think there is a font in your clientscheme.res that isn't there that is present in the default hud. I can't tell you what the exact one is at the moment.

Find/extract/download the default ClientScheme.res and find 'SpectatorVerySmall' that's the one responsible for the names above the players.

You don't look at the diff of the patch they were introduced because they were added across multiple updates; you compare your clientscheme.res file to the default one to see what you're missing.

I assumed the changes I was looking would have been in one of the spectator files, not clientscheme. Thanks.

How would I remove the circle bit that points to where the intel is. Also, how would I shorten/remove the ctf bars?

read my post on how to figure out what is what in hud elements for future reference

CTF related files are: HudObjectiveFlagPanel, FlagCalloutPanel & FlagStatus.res

How would one make the damage that shows up in the HUD batched while the damage dealt above people's heads not be or have a smaller batching window?

hud_combattext_batching_window "0.8" is what I use, hud_combattext_batching_window "0" will make it disappear or you could use hud_combattext_batching "0".

I know how that all works. I don't think I was clear enough with my question.

You know how a lot of HUDs show damage done somewhere near the health cross or the ammo numbers? I was wondering if you can apply the hud_combattext_batching command to the damage text there instead of the damage text that appears above enemies heads.

Impossible afaik, someone got lucky with the %ammo% to have it static in the hud, can't be the batched combattext value.

I tried to incorporate the broesel ubercharge bar into a morehud edit, I copied the hudmediccharge.res the hudlayout entry, the fonts and the colors, nevertheless the "background" seems to be darker than usual:

Should be a simple color problem I assume, any idea?

How do I add a "competitive" button to delihud? I want it to show the competitive menu, so when I eventually (hopefully) get a comp pass I can actually access the menu.

Just use this version of delihud i made a few months ago.

Thanks! I updated the scoreboard as well, it appears it was a bit outdated.

How can I remove the "Hold x to inspect your weapon" text?

Where do you even edit the panels that appear when you die?

I'm talking about these.

I've been trying to fix this for a long time, but I can't seem to get it to work. Whenever I open my contracts window, it keeps on crashing my game. I asked around and apparently the only file that controls this is the 'hudanimations_tf.txt', but I can't find the error. Anyone who could possibly help me out here?
Current hudanimations file: http://pastebin.com/T5M1PdMf

Usually when the contract drawer crashes, it's because the "quests" folder is outdated. You should probably delete the whole "quests" folder and see if that works.
