Where can I find HUD explanations?

When looking through .res files, I have a limited idea of what each configuration is for. Are .res settings documented anywhere, or is everybody just doing their own trial and error?

The reverse would also be nice -- It'd be amazing to have an image of a HUD and have some indication of where edits to that element live.

I'm just trying to edit the y positioning of the healing target... I have no idea what to edit.

Yeah, it's way out dated and is not comprehensive at all.

Where in huds.tf can I find this info? Or are you suggesting to go on the forums there...

try messing with those fields within hudlayout.res

Also as far as a collection of stuff from what different hud things do, I personally have done one of 3 things:

  1. Do the painful trial and error process of attempting to have things work and eventually I'll get an idea of what I'm doing even though there are a number of things that I'm still not very knowledgeable about in the field of hud stuff
  2. Ask a question within this thread
  3. Look through some of the resources that flatline listed alongside some other ones that weren't listed

allows you to edit res files and the do hud_reloadscheme to see the changes, for most .res files at least. without it you have to restart the game every time you want to see the changes

I have vgui_cache_res_files 1 and I've always been able to use hud_reloadscheme, literally didn't even know this was a command
