I followed the tutorial, but my gif still turned out poorly (http://puu.sh/9bkYj/89856ff22b.jpg)

Didn't know, sorry. Figured it was a plugin thing. Does that mean you can edit all of those overlays on servers with flashing green text advertising their site?

Ok. That's been my strat for sourcescheme so far. I'll follow your advice for the clientscheme. What about animated gifs though?

That's handled by MGEMod directly. Can't change it.

Also, La_masion, I followed your loading screen gif tutorial and got it to show up just fine, but it looks like this: http://puu.sh/9bkYj/89856ff22b.jpg. Is there some sort of flag I need to check in VTFEdit to fix this?

So, this is not a big problem, since it only happens when I quit TF2, but whenever I close down tf2 (either by pressing quit ingame or close window from the taskbar in windows) I get this error (http://puu.sh/99nME/745d21092e.png). It's quite annoying to have to close it when I close TF2. Also, I can't restart TF2 until I close it so it's especially frustrating when I'm doing hud stuff. I've tried restarting the computer, uninstalling and reinstalling TF2, and validating the cache.

You could just make the killstreak background a square and have it add on to the player model background, rather than replace it entirely.

Does anyone know of a good resource for learning how to edit chatscheme.res and sourcescheme.res? And borders in clientscheme.res?

Can you upload the .dat and the .txt?

I am currently working on a pause/resume feature so you can pause it before you respawn and resume it right after. May not work, but I'm trying.

While this does work, it's so much easier to put it hudlayout or something else that stays up. Then, just use a toggle (you can easily reuse that toggle code I posted and put it in menupulse) then use your method to toggle it on and off for non-medic classes.

Shouldn't be necessary. I don't see any other HUD makers getting paranoid about a DMCA. But, since he can do what he wants, it's life. Pretty funny though.

And jake, you can just upload it to dropbox and post the link here, you know.

If you don't want the bar to always be there (like me) then follow this.

Put the following under

RunEvent ClearUberBar 0.0

in the

event FillUberBar

part of hudanimations_tf.txt:

 Animate UberBoxBackDrop1 alpha "255" Linear 0.00 0.001
 Animate UberBoxBackDrop2 alpha "255" Linear 0.00 0.001

Then, in hudmediccharge.res (or somewhere else, like hudlayout.res if you want it to work when you are dead), change the "alpha" values for UberBoxBackDrop1 and UberBoxBackDrop2 to "0".

Finally, put

 Animate UberBoxBackDrop1 alpha "0" Linear 0.00 0.001
 Animate UberBoxBackDrop2 alpha "0" Linear 0.00 0.001

at the top of

event ClearUberBar

This isn't strictly necessary, but I like to be thorough.

Save and start TF2. You should now be able to press 'r' and have the bar show up and start filling. When you die, it will hide itself again.

Does anyone know of a way to render a website (not a fully fledged one, but a generic one with just some simple <p></p> tags) in TF2? When you open the blog/motd, is that text pulled from a website automatically on the update time or is it manually entered? I am curious about having text that can be dynamic.
