Have a look at this thread where omni might have figured that issue out. (Also the imgur album link in your post can't be an embed)

HudTournament.res > "playerpanels_kv" and various other elements with if_readymode
Editing can be done on a local server with mp_tournament_readymode 1 or from a demo recorded during pregame.

@Dtbr: BuildingStatus_Engineer in HudLayout.res moves everything in one go (and afaik there is no way possible to change building order)
Chat box is moved in HudBaseChat.res and also in a hudanimations file controlling the movement during/after ready up in Casual/MM

It has nothing to do with the localization files you have, it's just the game not initializing the hud properly, a hud_reloadscheme when joining your first server fixes a lot of issues, including the %killername% in the freeze panel, first round of mvm missing credits popup and not loading Mann Up reward screen.

Toggle minmode or hud_reloadscheme to fix 99% of your hud issues.

That's SourceScheme most likely.

PositiveColor in hudmatchstatus

Try "replay/thumbnails/health_modified" or "../vgui/replay/thumbnails/health_modified"

Afaik the game starts looking for textures by default in the vgui folder.

Also: image_override is not an existing thing, just replace the original value for image and see if the game loads the texture or throws the black/magenta missing texture back at you.

As a /r/tf2 mod I have to speak up and say that if this thread continues the support for tftv content will be stopped, users who keep ridiculing our userbase in this thread will be banned on the subreddit if a connection to a reddit account can be made.

Try resource/SourceScheme.res sugoi_boi

@Teddy: use the original src_corner width and height of 23 (iirc) together with the draw_corner width/height of 0 for 'square' corners for the player background borders in the tournament spec hud (TFFatLineBorder + TFFatLineBorderRedBG + TFFatLineBorderBlueBG in ClientScheme)

It is not possible to make them less wide than the playerpanel_kv width though, however, you could try to change the 'image' value for the aforementioned border definitions with custom VTFs and possibly end up with a result that works for you (make sure to put them in the replay thumbnails folder to have it work in sv_pure 2 servers)

@thrones, the huditemeffectmeter_action.res is one everyone has, because valve didn't include that hud file (it does not exist in the game files, yet is referenced somewhere when reloading)

The bg_blue image file (vtf) is referenced somewhere in a hud file (clientscheme border?), use the 'search in files' of notepad++ to search for the reference.

@d4nny, very vague what you're trying to do, if it's not a button without command it's simply a (CEx)Label where you set the labelText for, just try copying and modifying existing buttons/text labels you can find in other hud files.

@d4nny, mainmenu buttons/labels require GameMenu.res commands/labeltexts to be defined to work

@Booop, open spectatorguihealth and find the label with %health%, this one is being color changed using animations, found in /scripts/hudanimations (HudHealthBonusPulse/HudHealthDyingPulse) which modify colors on hurt/overheal (the 'Stop' versions of the animations reset them)

@RentQN, ammo can't be converted to bars, the cow mangler has a separate HudItemEffectMeter which is triggered, where most of the weapons use HudAmmoWeapons to display clip/reserve or ammo values

The 'default 1' should be triggered with enter (or A on controllers), the ampersand (&) only works for a single letter or number as far as I know.

Try to figure out if the previous hud file (IntroMenu.res, MapInfoMenu.res & TextWindow(CustomServer).res) have a 'default 1' for the (MapInfo)Continue/ok buttons.

You can always add an offscreen hidden element with a LabelText which can be triggered with (for instance) 'E' to skip the dialogs.

WeShallFallen, modify HudFontSmall in clientscheme.res (this will have an effect on the rest of the hud, but I suppose that will be the only way to do it, since font_override doesn't seem to work)

Valve killed that when they updated the Main Menu last year with Meet your Match, you're looking at old screenshots.
