Editing the red/blue timers and timerpanelvalue Xpos and Ypos in the hudobjectivekothtimepanel.res file should fix that issue

i dont know how, but if in advanced options you enable mouse input on scoreboard, it lets you scrool down, and if you right click them, you can trade, friend and stuff like that

I would start by actually updating your resource/econ/backpackpanel.res from the default one and actually add in the page numbers, they allow for the hovering over the number while dragging an item to change to that page.

The Hitmarker is a hud animation thing utilizing the DamagedPlayer event, making elements appear and/or change color.

Question about the red damage indicators that show up when I take damage:

-Which values will move those indicators further away from my crosshair?
-Which values make them skinnier?
-Which values make them shorter?

ScrambledHow do I get combat text to show as part of the HUD?

Not floating above the people I'm shooting, but above the ammo or something.

Floating above the person IS part of the hud, but the part you are looking for is:

"DamageAccountValue"
{
"ControlName" "CExLabel"
"fieldName" "DamageAccountValue"
"xpos" "c-80" //c-144 default
"ypos" "r220"
"zpos" "2"
"wide" "100"
"tall" "26"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"labelText" "%metal%"
"textAlignment" "west"
"fgcolor" "0 255 255 255"
"font" "[your font]"
}

throw that in the huddamageaccount.res file in resource/ui and it should work, granted you give it a font.
This also looks very screwed up due to copy pasting but just spam tab a few times and it should be fiiine

Not as far as I'm aware. Taking damage from multiple sources will create more indicators though.

You can make some hidden offscreen buttons to do the same functionality. Or you can change the labeltext of the existing buttons to be &a and &d instead.

imo a lot of questions you ask can simply be answered by looking at the files of other huds and trying to figure out how they solved the thing you're trying to achieve.

Hello,

So I've been running the Thalash crosshair for a long time now (seeker with green dot used in this Vid) and I wanted to do a crosshair animation. Basically, I wanted the base seeker the overshadow my crosshair whenever I hit somebody, with a flashy color (light blue for example). I went to the HudDamageAccount.res file first to write this

"Resource/UI/HudDamageAccount.res"
{
	"Hitmarker"
	{
		"fieldName" "Hitmarker"
		"ControlName"	"ImagePanel"
		"visible" "1"
		"enabled" "1"
		"xpos"	"r435"
		"ypos"	"r248"
		"wide"	"26"
		"tall"	"26"	
		"image"	"replay/thumbnails/seeker_thalash"
		"scaleImage"	"1"
	}

Then went to the HudAnimations_Custom.txt file (which is the animation file for my hud, a modified verion of m0re hud) and typed the following:

event Hitmarker
{
	Animate	Hitmarker	Alpha	"140"				Linear 0.0 0.0	// start
	Animate	Hitmarker	FgColor		"0 0 0 140"		Linear 0.0 0.0	// start
	Animate	Hitmarker	Alpha	"0"			     Linear 0.0 0.25 // end
	Animate	Hitmarker	FgColor 	       "0 0 0 0"     Linear 0.0 0.25 // end
}

event DamagedPlayer
{
	RunEvent Hitmarker	0.0
}

After testing and messing around with the pos values to get it centered, the seeker correctly puts itself above the entire crosshair, which is what I wanted to do. Still, I did'nt managed to change the color of it when it blinks and I have no Idea of to use the Alfa and FgColor lines to control that.

Any help or suggestion appreciated :)
Also tell me if something is unclear about my post or if you need extra screenshots!

I think its not possible but you can set a bind to toggle between minmode and normal hud, and then set the crosshair to

"visible"    "1"
"visible_minmode"    "0"

or the other way around and then use the bind to toggle the crosshair on and off
