my health goes red at about 95 health. how do i change this to 110 so i know when i can be instakilled by scout/soldier?

in hudplayerhealth.res cntrl + f for huddeathwarning or something like that and change 0.49 to whatever percentage 110 is of 200. (55 I think? so it would be 0.55)

@weithood do you know if any of the vtf tools work on mac or will I have to keep using this nifty website?

@XenThePybro I was able to do this http://puu.sh/qVVMP/f19cd66c64.jpg but it isn't fully transparent and I want to extend the team color to the edge of the white box

The transparency of the mask is dependent on the transparency of the vtf. Change it to a solid if you want it to be completely invisible.

For not getting it to the end of the white box you probably screwed something up. Remember, you only want the vtf to cover what you want to get rid off.

I was able to fix the color box going to the end http://puu.sh/qVXKq/a14c28bcc9.jpg. I checked the refracting and the image is a 255 alpha white and the refract vmt is the same as the one you posted earlier.

is it possible to convert and image to a .vtf and have it remain 1920x1080? vtf edit always resizes it

VTF needs to have dimensions in powers of 2, so 2048*1024 will work, and then be stretched if you wide/tall f0 the image or use it as main menu background

Have you tried screwing around with the values in the vmt? Also you may have another hud element above the refract.
Unless if you screwed something up the refract should make everything invisible underneath it.

Hey guys, I asked a few days ago for suggestions on how to get some elements to show at will--basically what I was told was to have it recorded in a demo and play the demo back or change the timescale in a server with cheats on. For demos, this means I can just go to the tick(s) the element is visible at and replay it over and over. For timescale, that just allows me to make things happen quicker to get to what I need.

Both of these work great, but demos don't seem to save (or just don't show?) the matchmaking HUD--they look like any random community server pub instead of showing the class icons, respawn times, lights for each win at the top of the screen, etc.

I know this isn't exactly a question about editing HUDs, but it's relevant and a followup; any way I can activate/see this on my own without joining matchmaking... or a way to make the demos save/show it?

As always, thanks again in advance, guys. <3

You need to join mm if you want to edit the hud. Sorry.

How can I move the chatbox to the right?

x

Basechat in resource -> ui

Mess around with the xpos and ypos values in the "hudchat" field. It should be the first thing you see. If your hud doesn't have a basechat file, extract the file from the default hud files and go at it from there.

does anyone know where to locate the glyphs from the main menu?

I don't know if it was asked before but can someone explain to me how to get a default main menu after the update that broke most huds? my old hud is working except for the menu.
sorry if it was answered before, didn't see.

go into the stock hud files then navigate to
materials/vgui
its in the vgui folder

the new commands are
play_casual for casual
play_competitive for comp
play_cooperative for mvm
openserverbrowser for the server browser

How can i change the cow mangler ammo thing to be a number instead of a bar? or is there a hud that does this already i can use.

not possible gabriel

watterson: open tf2_textures_dir.vpk with GCFScape and navigate to materials/vgui

Is there any way to remove this part?

Like the entire thing or certain parts of it?

1. don't play ranked/casual
2. hudmatchstatus > TeamStatus for the players
2.1 hudroundcounter for the round counter in the center

Thanks :)

Where do you edit the FindAGame panel that drops down?

I believe it's playlist container within mainmenuoverride.res

Can someone tell me about the blur option for fonts in clientscheme.res please?

from the valve dev wiki:
"blur is not the degree of blurriness, but rather the number of times the blurred font should be rendered additively on top of itself during the TrueType rasterization. Therefore, the number 5 ensures that the blurry number will be quite bright on screen."

just add blur # to the font definition to make that font blurry. for example:

juliaBlurMedium
{
	"1"
	{
		"name"	"Nimbus"
		"tall"		"28"
		"antialias" "1"
		"custom"	"1"
		"weight"	"0"
		"range"	"0x0000 0xFFFF"

		"blur"		"3"
		"additive"	"0"
	}
}

values from 1-3 are nice for text shadows in my experience

can I animate an image to turn into another image e.g. a square into a circle?

If I can would I do it by oversizing the circle in a square panel?

@Zetos, looking at the default HudTournament.res file would've given the if_mvm + visible 0 you can use, and does it hurt to simply try?

@Xen, you can fake it by using SetVisible 0 on the square when doing the SetVisible 1 on the circle?

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but is it possible to rotate elements within a hud? For example I have a square, can I rotate it say 45 degrees for example? Or will I have to find workarounds?
