So yesterday I made my own hudplayerhealth changes and one of them was an animated background for the health_over_bg.vtf file. It worked perfectly when I tested it on cp_badlands with bots. However on casual, it doesn't seem to work, it's only the default health_over_bg.vtf file. Is there a way to fix it? Cheers.

It's blocked by sv_pure, there might be a way to preload it, but I'm not 100% sure. You could maybe try and use the main menu preload workaround.

Move the file to materials/vgui/replay/thumbnails and make a VMT for it (copy the original) and point your hudplayerhealth image to the changed path.
The image should now work with sv_pure 2 without preloading.

I'll give this a shot I'll see if it works.

Hmm I dunno, currently this is what it looks like let me know if I did it correctly because it doesn't seem to work at the moment.

Did you also extract the .vmt with the VTF in the new folder when you moved it?

I did move the VMT and VTF inside of my hud's folders. But looks like the VMT you sent me doesn't have the same directory.

I just extracted the original .vmt and uploaded it, but that should indeed be modified to reflect it's new path, good catch.

Heres the thing, do I have to put all my things inside of the tf directory or inside of tf/custom/myhud/materials/vgui/replay/thumbnails ?

You should have at least the following:
/tf/custom/yourhud/materials/vgui/replay/thumbnails/health_over_bg.vmt // fixed path to vtf
/tf/custom/yourhud/materials/vgui/replay/thumbnails/health_over_bg.vtf // custom bg image
/tf/custom/yourhud/resource/ui/hudplayerhealth.res // modified hud file
/tf/custom/yourhud/info.vdf // hud { ui_version 3 }In theory the above should work.

Alright that's what I needed to know, however would the vmt and hudplayerhealth.res directory be materials/vgui/replay/thumbnails/health_over_bg or /vgui/replay/thumbnails/health_over_bg?

Okay I've done it, currently, my VMT looks like this

}
}
}
And my hudplayerhealth.res looks like this
"PlayerStatusHealthImageBG"
{
"ControlName" "ImagePanel"
"fieldName" "PlayerStatusHealthImageBG"

The reason your BG currently doesn't show is because you've set it to wide & tall 0. Fix this first.
The path as it currently is with ../vgui/replay is correct.
