the tournament version of that file actually controls the health, which is then positioned in spectatortournament.res, controls the low health image color and at what percentage this low health animation needs to be triggered (and if the bonushealthimage needs to grow/shrink x units)

You could make them all 1 color and on mouse over or keyboard selection/highlight make them the different colors, if you're using custom VMTs you could try fgcolor or drawcolor for the class logo itself to change color instead.

Follow this guide from huds.tf to make your animations file unbreakable, then the only thing that might make you crash are actual out of date hud files.

@devamar, the team color indicator on the very right side of the panel is impossible, believe me, I've tried.

Some more progress on my end:

or if everything on the left side is preferred (some alignment issues probably)

@ JB: You need to change the borders responsible for the background colors to use those specific images in the spectator tournament panels in clientscheme.res: TFFatLineBorder, TFFatLineBorderRedBG & TFFatLineBorderBlueBG

I've tried a lot of different things to not crash with custom main menus when the stress test is active (or when you're in the beta because of a pass/self-made item), but the only one that doesn't crash for me is the #base setup I use for WietHUD, haven't been able to narrow it down to what specifically in MainMenuOverride.res causes it...

devamar, thought of any control point animations yet, payload objectives? Target ID looks nice, but the different overheal color from the player lists I'd steer away from and make those the same color for viewer consistency. Respawn indicator/dead state differing in look from alive for player panels could be helpful.

If only we could make the medics always sort to a default spot for the medigun indicators or to be glued to the class panel.

Scoreboards are really a non issue, got a very simple one for that in mind already, I just have to make them look like whatever the targetids and playerlists are going to be. Winpanel is going to be similar as well, no need for individual player highlighting imho if there is external log based round stats available.

After some contact with Saxton Hale about his hud and how to get horizontal player health working and the Jarateking mockup with flame proving it being possible I started from scratch with a tournament and health panel to get the CSGO like horizontal health to work:

It looks like shit because I haven't touched most of the animations yet with proper colors or any of the clientscheme responsible for fonts and tournament borders, but it works!

HudDamageIndicator in hudlayout.res

Possible things to define:

  proportional_float MinimumWidth
  proportional_float MaximumWidth
  proportional_float MinimumHeight
  proportional_float MaximumHeight
  proportional_float StartRadius
  proportional_float EndRadius
  float MaximumDamage
  float MinimumTime
  float MaximumTime
  float TravelTime
  float FadeOutPercentage
  float Noise

@ Astrin: HudPlayerHealth there is a shadow, use vgui_drawtree + highlight selected to figure out the exact FieldName and just remove it

@ STOGE: where do you get your default file? if you don't have a custom file it will use the actual default file, see if that works. Also check console if you're using your custom file and check for EOF errors.

If you're unlucky and die with 99% charge and have a very big charge font the entire shadow needs to be able to be covered, which could result in a very big resist icon, one with a dropshadow or outline defined would be the easiest solution.

@ DR34M AmmoInClip in HudAmmoWeapons font and PlayerStatusHealthValue in HudPlayerHealth are the ones you need to replace, or find name and edit it in clientscheme.res

Impossible as either the normal chargelabel is visible for uber/kritz/qf or the individualchargeslabel for vaccinator is visible.

As a workaround you could create a font in clientscheme.res with a dropshadow 1 or outline, or force swapping between minmode 0/1 for vaccinator use to hide shadows off screen/make them tall 0 (and show vaccinator ones)

It is a shame you can't define where something would have to be visible for red or blue team specifically in the spectator tournament panels because of hud technical limitations!

The 'blending'/blur on scope is default for DX9 because it is capable of doing the distortion calculations, DX8 can't

@ STOGE: use vgui_drawtree with 'Highlight Selected' ticked to figure out which element exactly is the white square in tournament mode

@ _DR34M_: Replace the fonts in HudAmmoWeapons.res

@ BlakJak: tall 0 on PlayerStatusHealthBonusImage in HudPlayerHealth.res and maybe change the "HealthBonusPosAdj" value at the top to 0 to guarantee the health cross doesn't grow when getting buffed.

@ END: update your hudlayout.res to contain the MatchSummary section

@ Snerk: Valve has been doing weird things with that file, I had the normal medigun charge element when playing matchmaking and using the Vaccinator, but when playing back the demo everything was fine, your hud file seems to be in order (except for a ChargeLabelShadow which might still be visible when you're using the vaccinator)
