@ kane: HudMatchStatus.res has the ObjectiveStatusTimePanel with a TimePanelValue which is the timer on top (and also used for the king of the hill timers)

@ Medico, could you specify the shortcuts to certain buttons? I guarantee you that in 99% of those cases adding an offscreen hud element with a command with an ampersand letter combo (&d) will work fine to have shortkeys in those hud files (and allows it to work regardless of language!)

@ Wiethoofd, It's using &Q instead of &0 for Cancel buttons (on team and class menus), and adding &E for editing loadouts on the class menu. I suppose you're right about using hidden shortcut buttons but that wouldn't add the (E) after the label which is something I'd like. I could add that as a different label element but then there's the risk of the labels clipping in different languages (unless I put the shortcut label above/below the actual label), and it seems semantically clumsy to me to split it into two labels.

I'm all for supporting more languages too, but there are so many backgrounds where I'm sure the text doesn't fit in all languages. Through limited testing I found Italian to have the longest words for the main menu and the backgrounds would have to be huuuge to cover all languages.

It might be the best solution, though, to split it into two labels, and it might not look completely stupid. It's just a shame that I like how it looks with the (E) in the text. Thanks man!

Use pin_to_sibling for the letters in front/after the labels and just have the shortkeys hidden off screen, using auto_wide_tocontents for the actual text label with a bgcolor together with the pinning will work regardless of language and look good if used properly.

That brilliant! I think.. if I understand it right. I've never thought about using auto_wide_tocontents before. Do you just put "auto_wide_tocontents" "1" in the element or what?

How do you use the pin_to_sibling, though? You name a sibling and then set it to 1? Kind of like shown below? I've never used the pin or auto parameters before, but they seem really handy for dynamic text. Are they useful for anything else?

Are there any resources on pinning?

Where do I remove the dominated and dominating signs from the scoreboard? I'm a roamer main :'(

How do you make custom vpks? (such as custom health bars, custom objective icons, etc)

scoreboard.res in resource/ui

Sorry; What element in Scoreboard.res do I change to remove the dominated and dominating icons from the scoreboard?

You mean the icons next to players names right?

I don't think it's possible to completely remove them (someone can correct me if I'm wrong), but the stuff in this thread gets you pretty close http://www.teamfortress.tv/29010/hiding-dominations-completely

If it's a scoreboard stat thing you want removed, like "Dominations: 3" amongst your "kills" "deaths" etc..

You just need to find "dominations" and "dominationlabel" in scoreboard.res (hud makers tend to use different names so these wont be exact), ctrl+f and search "domination" and you should easily find them - Change both their visible to 0 and they will be gone, however it will look weird if just one stat in the scoreboard is gone amongst like "kills" and "deaths" etc, but they all follow the same pattern so just remove all of them if you want it to look tidier.

Yeah I mean the icons. The only thing that has to do with them in scoreboard.res is nemesis_width. It's in 15 by default but when I change it to 4 it's just thinner and when I change it to anything below 4 the width changes every time I press tab. So sometimes it's huge and sometimes it's tiny...
I assume I need to edit a different value but idk which one.

This is the only way to "hide" the domination elements from the scoreboard.
Works on every 16:9 resolution I think, not sure about 4:3.
Basically, it makes the domination elements tiny (width 4 on nemesis_width) and then creates a bar for each team that stays on top of the domination icons. More details about how to install this on your custom HUD on the .zip.

That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen but god damn do I respect that initiative. Fair play, I would not have thought to do something so simple lmao.

It is stupidly ugly, but nothing else works on sv_pure lol

If you added a refract material instead of a teamcolored imagepanel, and then over that refract re-add the background color and line up at the top, you could get it looking pretty seamless.
No docs on refract materials but if you take them out from a hud that has them and add the necessary commands to a cfg (the ones in the transparent viewmodels thread / most huds that use refracts) it's a pretty straightforward process.

Does anyone know how to get the uber bar to be in this position?

I think the bars look pretty good on my hud after some editing: http://imgur.com/w6WU3BR

can't find for the life of my why this is yellow. any help?
edit: everything that should be white is yellow.

resource/ui/mainmenuoverride.res and the color in clientscheme.res if it's not hard set rgba values

I'll mention sv_cheats 1; vgui_drawtree 1 and ticking Highlight Selected once more for figuring out which elements are which to possibly help pinpoint which files and elements are responsible for what you see on screen to be able to answer simple questions which have been answered before anyway.

What was the fix for getting rid of the grey box in the top left?

Updating whatever element is causing it, what HUD do you use?

yes, i did that. i've looked in every file and there is nothing that could make it yellow. i ctrl+f'ed the files and searched for that specific yellow colour.

How can I make notohud scoreboard transparent? What do I need to edit in scoreboard.res?

How do I resize health numbers and ammo in (broselhud_blue).

How do I disable the medic call bubbles?

I know they're defined in mediccallerpanel.res but I can't seem to shut them off them completely

isn't that a particle or something like that?

Is it possible to use #base in ClientScheme.res and have it overwrite the things I have edited?

http://puu.sh/pjL1m/08efab8bad.png

These are supposed to be different colours, but the borders and colours file I have isn't overwriting these. It's using the stock.

This is how I currently have my clientscheme set up:

http://puu.sh/pjL23/af9025cb65.png

- this is before the Scheme part
Would I have to delete the parts that I want it to overwrite from the clientscheme.res file? Because I want my HUD to be a 3 step update for ClientScheme.res, just put in the #base settings, and customfontfiles in the stock TF2 clientscheme.res file and then I'm done.

Apologies if I explained this horribly, I'm kinda new to using #base and only have ever used it for fonts.

Yeah, for color changes, you need to remove said colors from your clientscheme.res file for those to work.
For fonts, need to delete them from clientscheme, but also, inside your font scheme, you need to make sure there's some line in each font definition that essentially makes it different from the one in clientscheme.res. You could add "outline" "0" to a font, or remove the "range" value, for example.
Borders are the same as above. Delete and change slightly by adding/removing useless code.

The clientscheme file I have set up for the TFTV HUD is completely empty besides the #base includes. Easiest way to start.

It seems to be an effect/image but I thought disabling its elements like usually works for other hud elements would work

excuse me if this question has been asked alot but how do i get outlined damage numbers? im using mkhud and the damage numbers for me are yellow for some reason

So I'm trying to edit the buffed health colour in my hud with this code

Animate PlayerStatusHealthValue        FgColor	  "HudBlue" 	Linear 0.0 0.0
Animate PlayerStatusHealthValueShadow  FgColor    "HudWhite" 	Linear 0.0 0.0

But for some reason the health value stays white and the shadow instead turns into blue like this
