I've been having some difficulties with the 'continue' button in the mapinfomenu (the second "motd", for lack of a better word, when you join a server, with info on the map). I used to be simply using the kbn version of this file, which worked perectly, but then started to edit it to create my own, which is by now completely different. When I changed xpos on the element "MapInfoContinue", instead of simply moving the element, it created a new one at that position. Or, possibly, it did move it, but an old copy still remained (????). The older version of the button can be clicked and functions as the continue button should, the new one does not.
I'm very confused.

EDIT: KBN one for comparison, this one works perfectly fine.

EDIT2: randomly started working when i restarted tf2. im so confused. ignore this i guess

Problem with that is that tf2 limits the 'tall' value of fonts to 55 or something which for most of the pre-existing circle fonts is way too small for what I'm dealing with. It's much easier to deal with vtfs for larger ones since I have zero experience creating my own font file. The only real issue with the alignment is for other resolutions, which is a bummer but I doubt I'm going to fret about it too much haha.

Also I actually am working with different circles, crescents specifically, that couldn't be made with any fonts I already have.

wow that's actually pretty much what i'm hoping to make it (WIP) lol

PS anyone know if it's possible to change the alignment of image panels to the center of the element, similar to textalignment?

I'd appreciate a second opinion on my team selection menu.

Which one do you guys think is better?

Also, does anyone have any meta-game hud secrets to editing the main menu? Do I just need to boot up tf2 each time? It still takes like 3-5 minutes each load unfortunately, so if there's a quicker way then I'd be very happy.

edit: fuck

only thing i can think of personally is that you didn't install the hud properly or that you have remnants of an old custom hud still installed. beyond that, have you checked the contents of huddamageaccount.res? is it referencing the tf2 default font files, or the m0re ones? the small white ones are m0re ones if i interpreted the screenshots correctly. if you're still perplexed post your huddamageaccount.res here and i'll take a look and try to help you.

feel free to add me as well

wouldn't it need to be a null font, not an undefined font? or do you happen to know that pvhud has a null font installed?

i didn't look at any of that, i just put what he posted together like he asked. i literally changed nothing except for putting it together as per his request. i have no experience with this having had zero interest in pulsing crosshairs personally.

Does anyone have any deeper knowledge of 'weight' parameters on font definitions in clientscheme.res? It seems to work on some fonts and make no difference on others. For Novecento, for example, (the font used in the newer Garm3n huds, yahud, and bwhud), adding a weight parameter (there wasn't one by default) yielded no visible difference. Is there anything I could be doing wrong?

video? i don't think i understand what you mean, if i do you mean you can surf through the opposing team's choke?

use this for hudplayerhealth.res instead of what you posted.

use this for hudanimations_tf.txt instead of what you posted.

PS next time use pastebin instead of pasting that whole thing in, or at least use a spoiler tag or something

enigma this is article 1 of evidence for adding back minus frags to original posts

Add me for help if you want, I can walk you through it. If you'd prefer quick answers now here ya go.
(I'm not the maker of this hud but I can help).

[li] Change xpos to 9999 under these elements in hudplayerhealth.res in resource/ui (using a text editor, ideally get notepad++): "PlayerStatusHealthImage", "PlayerStatusHealthImageBG", "PlayerStatusHealthBonusImage", "Crossbordersideways", and "Crossbordertop".
[li] Change ypos under "PlayerStatusMarkedForDeathImage" and "PlayerStatusMarkedForDeathSilentImage", also in hudplayerhealth.res. You're going to need to play around with it to find a value that works for you.
[li] Look at event "HudLowAmmoPulse" in hudanimations_tf.txt in /scripts. I'm not sure if you're talking about reserve ammo or regular ammo or ammo no clip, (explained [url=http://imgur.com/a/xVKh3]here[/url]) regardless change where it says fgcolor "225 75 75 255" to whatever you want. (The color code is "R G B transparency" or first number is how much red 0-255, second how much green 0-255, third how much blue 0-255, fourth how transparent 0-255. Purple would be "128 0 255 255". Change fgcolor here only.
[code]Animate AmmoInClip fgcolor "225 75 75 255" Linear 0.0 0.1
Animate AmmoInClip fgcolor "225 75 75 255" Linear 0.09 0.3
Animate AmmoInReserve fgcolor "225 75 75 255" Linear 0.0 0.1
Animate AmmoInReserve fgcolor "225 75 75 255" Linear 0.09 0.3
Animate AmmoNoClip fgcolor "225 75 75 255" Linear 0.0 0.1
Animate AmmoNoClip fgcolor "225 75 75 255" Linear 0.09 0.3
[/code]
[li] Change font definitions around in clientscheme.res in /resource to make it thinner. The font for damage is "code20". Try this: copy everything from code 20, all this: [code]Code20
{
"1"
{
"name" "Droid Sans Bold"
"tall" "20"
"weight" "500"
"antialias" "1"
}
}[/code]
And rename it to snizzlenose or something and change thickness to 400. etc.
[li] This is to do with the console commands tf_dingaling_pitchmaxdmg and tf_dingaling_pitchmindmg, reverse what you have now to do what you described (put what it is for mindmg in maxdmg and vice versa.)

You can use the console command hud_reloadscheme to check your changes in game, this doesn't work for the main menu (if you ever end up editing it) or when you change clientscheme.

cheers.

custom vtf?

grothas: sorry for late reply, that's definitely a mac issue, sorry pal. mac and windows os handle fonts completely differently in tf2, random fonts choose to be cut off in weird ways. I strongly urge you to partition if you care about tf2 at all, your game will run ten times better in terms of consistent framerate and start time/ general bugs, coming from personal experience.
