Is there a console command that can close the new item screen? I notice sometimes its unclickable in my hud and I have to quit to fix it. Escape key doesnt work when it happens either.

Also, is the map stamp upsell window broken even in the default hud?

jnuhow do i make damage numbers without the "-"sign like yight's hud

edit: misspelling

As far as I know it's only possible by editing the font. I've been using fontforge to do this in my huds.
The method I use is to replace the "-" symbol with the "space" symbol. Before saving the hud you have to change the font name, so you can properly add the font to your hud. The fontname can be changed in File -> Names or something similar.
Once you've created the font, you can add it to your hud like any other font. Last thing you need to do is changing the font used in huddamageaccount.res.

AiTratHey, so the ammo numbers on the default HUD are cutoff slightly at the top. This is also a problem when on min mode. Fix?

Depends on your resolution I suppose

Change the color(s) in the event DamagedPlayer animation.

custom font where the '-' glyph has been removed/set to 0 width as JB explained

"closeShortKey"

Valve changed something to the 'econ/ConfirmDialog.res' to be dynamic height, screwing up this panel in the process.

yes that's how you do it. Your way is probably easiest

now, does anyone know if it's possible to edit the thing at the top of the screen?

https://puu.sh/A23gv/0bcf70f073.png

I want to see if you can make the healthbars more prominent, ideally being the entire portrait so it's easy to see overall team health

#5200 yes easily. File is hudmatchstatus.res. Panels are controlled by the teamstatus element within, but the rest of the elements are relevent. See solarhud's most recent tf.tv post for an example picture and it's GitHub for what exactly I editted.

flame did a nice edit of that a couple of years ago. After looking at a copy of his old hud, I've managed to recreate it and I think it should work on any HUD:

https://i.imgur.com/0ipWokw.png

Copy and paste this over your existing TeamStatus in hudmatchstatus.res: Link
and
Replace your event TeamStatus_PlayerDead in hudanimations_tf.txt with this: Link
(or add to your custom hudanimations if your HUD uses manifest)

I only tested it in 1920x1080, so I'm not entirely sure how it is in other resolutions. Also it's really only meant for 6v6, as it starts looking pretty odd after more than 12 players on a server.

Edit: You'll have to move your killfeed down in hudlayout.res in order for it not to overlap with the panels.

Forgive me, i haven't played this game in a few years...

I'm trying to transfer a hud crosshair from an old version of KNhud to the updated version.. I tried to follow raysfire's tutorial on youtube (this is what i use to use long ago) but it's not working. Either i'm dumb or its out of date.. Is there an up to date tutorial somewhere or can someone plz help.

My damage numbers for some reason are always red. I am using yahud M-X, and i even switched to m0rehud to see if it would change, and it doesn't. The font for the dmg changes, but the color is always red for some reason.

This is a screenshot of my custom folder, i am using the no hats mod, explosion smoke script, hitsounds, and vtf crosshairs along w/ my hud.

You can, but there is a high chance they won't work in sv_pure servers. You can move the VTFs to materials\vgui\replay\thumbnails and keep the VMTs in the original materials\vgui\class_portraits folder pointing to the VTF image files in the replay folder.

ui/HudDamageAccount.res modify the delta_item_font(_big_) values to the required size.

fizzwhizHow do I make damage numbers also appear on the HUD, on the bottom-left side in between the health bar and the centre? I'm looking to use it as a hit-marker to replace hitsounds. I'm using the default HUD in minmode.

I've made a huddamageaccount.res in custom/[folder]/resource/ui. I've adapted the following code from the Improved Default HUD:

"Resource/UI/HudDamageAccount.res"
{
	"CDamageAccountValue"
	{
		"ControlName"	"CExLabel"
		"fieldName"	"CDamageAccountValue"
		"fgcolor"	"0 255 0 255
		"font"		"resource/tf2.ttf"
		"xpos"		"128"
		"ypos"		"r110"
		"xpos_minmode"	"110"
		"ypos_minmode"	"r75"
		"wide"		"100"
		"tall"		"26"
		"visible"	"1"
		"enabled"	"1"
		"labelText"	"%metal%"
		"textAlignment"	"left"
	}
}

You need to change the font. It won’t read “resource/tf2.tff” as a valid font value.

I'm having trouble with a couple hud elements randomly moving position, specifically the chat window and "BuildingStatus_Engineer"

I extracted using gcfscape my resource folder but I cant find the default version of basechat.res?

Also is there anything other than the "BuildingStatus_Engineer" section from hudlayout.res that could be randomly moving my building status panel?

Nahuelicsdoes anyone know how to make your overheal/hurt overlay to be round

You have to edit the "image" "../hud/health_over_bg" in PlayerStatusHealthBonusImage in hudplayerhealth.res

Easiest way to make the vtf would be https://www.getpaint.net/ + http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?c=225
Or you'll almost certainly be able to find a circle vtf from a different hud
Put the new material in materials/vgui/replay/thumbnails/ to get it to work in sv_pure

HonsterI extracted using gcfscape my resource folder but I cant find the default version of basechat.res?

basechat.res doesn't exist in the tf2 vpk's. Easiest way to get it is to just reference it from another hud and change it as needed, such as https://github.com/Wiethoofd/WietHUD/blob/master/resource/ui/BaseChat.res
