EDIT 2: Any way to edit the appearance of the control point icon and make them sharper??
Like this from the Material HUD

or this from mkHUD

That is done with custom materials. For mkHUD if you check the "materials/vgui/thumbnails/" you will find "icon_obj_blu.vtf which is the icon you are refering to. You need the .vtf from there and the .vmt from "materials/sprites/obj_icons". If you want them in your hud you need to exact folder path and location. Then in the controlpointicon.res find "CPTimerBG" and add the file location to the "image".

Such as:
"CPTimerBG"
	{
		"ControlName"	"Panel"
		"fieldName"		"CPTimerBG"
		"xpos"			"0"
		"ypos"			"0"
		"zpos"			"-1"
		"wide"		"60"
		"tall"		"30"
		"visible"		"0"
		"enabled"		"1"
		"image"			"../sprites/obj_icons/icon_obj_timer"	
		"scaleImage"	"1"	
	}

If you want to make your own you need VTFEdit. I don't know how to explain as I've never made it myself but...

It is something like:

  1. Open an art program and make a 128x128 canvas
  2. You need to make a Red, Red Locked, Neutral, Neutral Lock, Blu, & Blue locked
  3. Make the image and make it transparent.
  4. Open VTFEdit and click "Import"
  5. Apply the flags "No Mipmap" & "No Level Of Detail" to make it work on low texture settings
  6. Save the it as a .vtf with icon_obj_timer or name it whatever you want
  7. Goto options "Tools" and "Create VTF"
  8. In the options check "Translucent"
  9. And in texture "base setting" put the path of where the .vtf is located.
  10. Then just like above in the code add the location to the image code. (Put it in the file path of the .vmt or put the .vtf & .vmt in the same folder)
  11. Hope for the best.


Image Example

Is it possible to convert .vtf and .vmt files to png and vice versa?

EDIT: It works however it flickers to black every ten seconds.
EDIT 2: Fixed it by setting the shader to UnlitGeneric

how do i get this square crosshair

since nobody has answered this I'll post this here

https://pastebin.com/FfyJgnzQ

put that text in hudlayout.res (minus the line at the top)
that's just the actual square you'll also have to enable some sort of dot crosshair either vtf or hud or just use the default tf2 dot crosshair

it's actually just 4 lines

Actually take a look at the overwatch hud files? You know what you're trying to figure out, using vgui_drawtree (when pausing demo/server at the right moment) should allow you to figure out the element names, which you can then search for in the hud files.

Check your scripts animation file, it's probably changing the alpha/visible on elements in hudplayerhealth.res
You can remove the animation lines and/or find the element that is bothering you by navigating vgui_drawtree and move it off screen/outside of the element bounding box (ypos r0 or 9999 works wonders most of the time, in addition to wide+tall 0)

solly6Thanks. I'm new on HUD editing so I'm sorry.

No need to apologize, but the best thing to do if you're trying to take elements/inspiration from other huds is to actually install them, look at the files and adapt.

How can I fix the style option menu not showing the item model? I even deleted ComboBoxBackpackOverlayDialog.res but the problem persists

I also wanted to change the background of this menu is there any file that controls it or is it just a border in the clientscheme?

If anyone has taken the time to read through this then thanks in advance.

I'm hoping to remove the red/blue border that appears around this timer;

https://imgur.com/a/e2CQB

I believe it's to do with HudMatchStatus.res, but I've only been able to get rid of the entire timer, not just the background.

Continuing from that, anyone know what controls this part of the hud? This has been a little bit messed up for a while and doesn't show the blue background at the end of a casual game. (The left hand side should have a blue background like the red on the right)

https://imgur.com/a/bryBZ

Finally, what controls the "Organs Harvested" for the Vita Saw?

Any pointers would be appreciated!

the timer bg is controlled by hudobjectivetimepanel.res, make sure the following parameter is under TimePanelBG:

if_match
		{
			"visible"				"0"

the organs harvested meter is huditemeffectmeter_organs.res

The names on the scoreboard is surprisingly one of the scoreboard definitions in clientscheme. ScoreboardVerySmall I think? I can't check it now.

You can change the font of the kill feed in scripts/hudlayout.res under HudDeathNotice.

Hello guys so I have been using E.V.E hud for a long time now and I wanted to spice it up a bit by trying out a new HUD (FlawHud- which is a great minimaliastic HUD) I like the hud and I did a few edits, one thing that I hated the most was how the huds charge/cloak/other meters blends in with the text colour meaning you can't see what the text is saying as it's white, so I tried many ways to change it but I couldn't find out how to. Bear this in mind I have the SHIELD meter for the demo as a transparent green but I want that to be in all of my meters, plus I want to change the text on the meters to make it bigger or smaller and change the colour of the text.
Any help would be appreciated thx for taking your time to read this.

Valve fucked up allowing to change the text color in huditemeffect meters with Jungle Inferno;

You could add a 'dropshadow 1' to the font used to help with the readability a little, but changing color still won't be possible.
