no this isn't a hud developer dating thread fun as that might be
assuming your HUD is 100% up to date just before MYM was launched, here's what you need to do.
note: this guide is not friendly to those that don't understand hud development. don't try what you're about to see unless you're confident. wait for your hud to be updated.
here's a full list of diffs for the MYM update (edit: heres a better one), proceed to update with those changes as you normally would.
after all that you're going to need to adapt your hud to the new versioning system, which is going to make custom huds fifty times better for end users. for now, you're going to just need to add this file to the root directory of your hud (for example, for an already-installed yayahud, it would be under tf/custom/yayahud/).
for those who don't want to download a file (hurr viruses) just make a blank file in notepad called info.vdf with these contents:
"customhud"
{
"ui_version" "1"
}
edit the file and replace "customhud" with the name of your root folder (for example, "yayahud").
you're going to need to update this file whenever valve pushes a UI revision before your users will be able to use their custom huds with the new version of TF2. i assume that valve will be conveying these version increments going forward, but that's just my guess.
i tested all of this successfully when updating yayahud, so these steps should work for everyone else too. if something doesn't work for you though feel free to drop a note here, and if you figure anything else out i'd be happy to add it to the op.

just realized i only provided diffs for the resources folder, and not also the scripts folder which has important things in it like hudlayout.res and hudanimations_tf.txt. if someone could give me diffs for that it would be much appreciated

I fixed mine with
{
{
"ui_version" "1"
}
}
but I guess it does not matter as long as you have "ui_version" "1" in squiggly brackets.

Any idea how I would use a local git client to view the changed to mainmenuoverride.res? I am not very experienced with github.

Doesn't work for me... I put the file "info.vdf.txt" in my hud folder and renamed the "customhud" to "evehud" the hud I use, I open the game, and the Pyro vs. Heavy screen is all messed up, I can't click find a game and if I go in to the console and go to a map, my hud is not there.

kermitTheFrogYes, I have the notepad in. (.vdf)
lol that's 1% of what's needed to update a HUD.
if you aren't a HUD developer this thread is useless to you.
XenThePybroAny idea how I would use a local git client to view the changed to mainmenuoverride.res? I am not very experienced with github.
honestly nothing in there is useful. It's just the changes to Valve's main menu. I perused it with GitHub for Windows and every single change either adds MYM branding or tweaks button positions.
EDIT: not entirely correct. if you want to use Valve's new play dropdown in your HUD you'll want to add the "PlaylistContainer" stuff, flathud's diff is small enough to load
