How do I remove "featured item" on main menu?

mainmenuoverride.res, search for "EventPromo" and change the wide value to 0

How do i remove the horizontal uber bar (i only want the % on the right)

Also, how do I turn off the "major tf2 update" main menu popup that has to be closed every time I launch the game?

Thank

hudmediccharge.res, "ChargeMeter" width set to 0

mainmenuoverride.res, "MOTD_Panel" width set to 0

Cheers

Two questions...

First
So I tried to implement a custom main menu background into hypnotize's version of m0re hud and ran into the same problem as what's addressed in this thread below.
http://www.teamfortress.tv/15847/dark-main-menu
From what I can tell, their solution was simply to replace the vtf file in the custom hud folder but I don't see a vtf file in m0re hud for the main menu background. How can I stop my main menu background from turning dark and ugly?
Edit: nvm, they edited the MainMenuOverride.res! But still can't identify what part correlates to the dark overlay. Don't really know what I'm doing but from vgui tree the only thing highlighting the whole screen is FocusOverlayPanel so it might be there somewhere? No idea what I'm talking about.

Second
Also, is it possible to rip apart and combine certain huds? Or is it too much work?
For example, the health and ammo overlays from m0re hud, the scoreboard of eve hud and the main menu of some other hud

scripts/hudlayout.res -> ctrl+f "HudControlPointIcons" -> modify "height_offset"

I'm trying to use a solid color image for my main menu background, but I can't get it to work. I put the files named background_upward.vtf and background_upward_widescreen.vtf in my_custom_stuff/materials/console and I used the following text in chapterbackground.txt:

"chapters"
{
	1	"background_upward"
	2	"background_upward"
	3	"background_upward"
	4	"background_upward"
}
"BackgroundMaps"
{
	1	"background_upward"
	2	"background_upward"
	3	"background_upward"
	4	"background_upward"
}

And put that file into the my_custom_stuff/scripts folder.
I also can't seem to remove the characters from my background, all the downloads for that seem to be outdated. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or if the method I'm using is outdated?

"chapters"
{
	1	"background_upward"
	2	"background_upward"
	3	"background_upward"
	4	"background_upward"
}
"BackgroundMaps"
{
	1	"background_upward"
	2	"background_upward"
	3	"background_upward"
	4	"background_upward"
}

removing menu characters is done on the mainmenuoverride.res, just search for "TFCharacter" and change all values to 0

also, those materials/console folders should be stuck in with your hud, and the .txt needs to be in your hud's scripts folder

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/903400215519447581/F508AE4FB108739ACCB23722542A94FF3D2B0F24/

where is the hud element for the ctf notifications? (e.g. "The ENEMY INTELLIGENCE was dropped!")

resource/ui/notifications/Base_Notification.res

Actually doesn't matter if you split the materials like you can have the background in a folder called background with the materials and scripts folder inside it and then a separate folder for the actual hud.

So that shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't have other files interfering with the bg ones.

btw you can get a solid backgroud from the mainmenuoverride as well with a code like this:

Thanks a lot, that worked.

Thanks

How do I shrink the tournament mode bar? I want it to only be around the ready/not ready text and not the entire width of the screen. Idc about moving the team names.

https://i.imgur.com/FFqo5NZ.jpg?1

HudTournament.res and set wide to 0 for:

- TournamentWhiteBar
- HudTournamentBLUEBG
- HudTournamentREDBG

Team names are TournamentBLUELabel and TournamentREDLabel if you ever want to move them

Thank mr hypnotize, patron saint of huds

I honestly shouldn't have to ask this question, but it remains utterly elusive to me...

I'm trying to edit the colors of the item effect meters, but they entirely refuse to change for me.
https://i.imgur.com/HR7WzuT.png
The "BOOST" and "JAR" labels should be gray, but remain white not matter what I do. (The only color I've managed to change was the background meter)

Here are the [hopefully] relevant codes:

hudlayout.res

HudItemEffectMeter
{
	"fieldName"		"HudItemEffectMeter"
	"visible"			"1"
	"enabled"			"1"
	"xpos"			"r162"	[$WIN32]
"xpos_minmode"	"r52"	[$WIN32]
"ypos"			"r52"	[$WIN32]
"ypos_minmode"	"r50"	[$WIN32]
"xpos"			"r194"	[$X360]
"ypos"			"r74"	[$X360]
"wide"			"100"
	"tall"				"50"
	"MeterFG"		"White"
	"MeterBG"		"Gray"
}

huditemeffectmeter.res (generic)

"ItemEffectMeterLabel"
{
	"ControlName"			"CExLabel"
	"fieldName"			"ItemEffectMeterLabel"
	"xpos"				"50"
	"ypos"				"0"
	"zpos"				"2"
	"wide"				"100"
	"tall"					"6"
	"autoResize"			"1"
	"pinCorner"			"2"
	"visible"				"1"
	"enabled"				"1"
	"tabPosition"			"0"
	"labelText"			"#TF_ENERGYDRINK"
	"textAlignment"		"center"
	"dulltext"				"0"
	"brighttext"			"0"
	"font"				"Futura7"
	"fgcolor_override"		"OmpMeterLabel"   // "125 125 125 255"
}

pretty sure its locked in the hud and you cant change it

That can't be right... I've seen it possible before, and after some further hud work the colors are correct in the huntsman charge label: (compared to jarate's charge meter)

How, and where, do I modify the stats screen, prefer having it match with the rest of the background

https://i.imgur.com/0rqjuNd.jpg

StatSummary_Embedded is the normal stat page (the one in your screen) and StatSummary is the file that controls the loading map one

You can change the bg to be something like this

Also I recomend adding a reloadscheme button to that page so you don't have to restart the game every time.

thanks, but how would I add such a button? never used a hud that had one

Add this at the start of the file, works with the backpack, stats panel, loadout, crafting etc as long as you have vgui_cache_res_files set to 0.
Is really useful and and saves you a lot of time!

Doesn't work with the main menu, but you can still refresh it by using toggle mat_antialias in console.

works, though I had to attach it to charinfopanel instead to get it showing on all submenus

thanks a bunch

Okay, this is really miffing me, as it seems most popular huds fail to render the item effect meter label colors as they should be rendered... (When clearly they are rendered correctly in their screenshots)

Does anybody know anything at all what's the problem?

is there any way to make the "last damage done" numbers, have damage batching like normal damage numbers? sorry if im missing something obvious

AFAIK damage batching only applies to the floating damage numbers, unfortunately :<

* On Valve servers. Why the heck.

Any helping hand?

Dunno how many people know, but I may as well post it anyhow

I've found how to get that dumb name/score/ping text off their scoreboards, like so

The text draws from the "DefaultVerySmall" section in the clientscheme. If the fonts under that section are changed to anything numeric, like so, it gets rid of the text

just a nice little thing, I suppose

when the matchmaking doors open and shut it triggers an event in hudanimations that moves the chat, it has chat in the name so just search for that and change the ypos

for the borders they might be borders defined in clientscheme so you will need to copy them over as well, try and find the controls in classselection.res that define the borders and you will be able to cross reference them back to the clientscheme

Granted that my HUD is updated and uses hudanimations_manifest so that the default stuff doesn't have to be listed there, there are no "chat" entries in my hudanimations_custom. I suppose I could just copy the default chat stuff from the source and change what I wanted, right? Do you happen to know where I can extract that snippet? Improved Default HUD doesn't have it, and the github that tracks the core files isn't working.

The borders did have a fillcolor which used a custom name and it wasn't referenced on the clientscheme, thanks!
