So I'm trying to mess around with custom animated vtf/vmt files but I'm obviously doing something wrong as all I'm getting is a black square.

For those who know, a full guide on how to properly import and export files and then correctly put them into TF2 would be lovely, please.

Thanks

So this is my motd_entries

"motd_entries"
{
	"last_request_time"		"2099-05-05 21:40:25"
	"last_request_language"		"english"
	"1"
	{
		"post_time"		"2014-05-05 00:00:00"
		"title_english"		"Custom Links"
		"text_english"		"Test"
		"url"		"javascript:window.location.assign('http://tf2center.com');
								window.open('http://irc.lc/gamesurge/tf2mix/', 'tf2mix');
								window.open('http://irc.lc/geeksirc/tf2.pug.na', 'pugna');"
		"image"		""
		"header_type"		"2"
		"header_english"		"News"
	}
	"2"
	{
		"post_time"		"2014-05-05 00:00:00"
		"title_english"		"huds.tf"
		"text_english"		"Test"
		"url"		"huds.tf"
		"image"		""
		"header_type"		"2"
		"header_english"		"News"
	}
}

I've got 2 entries so I can click through and pick the one I want to use. However, if I add a third entry, it will not appear. Only the first 2 entries will appear.

Any ideas why, anybody?

Yeah, I never included my file because it's a cfg file. I thought that unnecessary.

Here's mine if you want it, it has 2 entries, 1 for huds.tf and the other for more links, which I haven't properly edited yet, so fill it with whatever you like.

New main menu update to coincide with the custom MOTD stuff Rays/Kuni/Sezco done did.

Pictures go lookit

I added a new file called mainmenuoverride_new.res, which makes the MOTD look like this:

No need for a description, just the name of the site. Hover and click the name to open the URL(s).

Bring back the secret bases let's go Nintendo chop chop

I've only ever got involved in one of these once and it was fun as hell and I learnt a whole lot by getting dominated by Ipz the entire game. If you seriously want something to do, get in on this.

All that pyro love

To be fair, we're still "arguing" about the tables. Not every HUD has different versions. I've been secretly trying to design a new table that tstm can't deny liking instead of him disagreeing with me on everything ;)

Moving those panels off the page doesn't mean the panels don't open. I'm pretty sure everybody's game opens the MOTD when the game is booted. There's no way around that anymore. You'll notice that when the MOTD is open, the button for item/game notifications isn't there unless you close the MOTD. You can't close the MOTD unless the MOTD is there to close.

However, if you've managed to find a way around that, I'd love to know it because it's not common knowledge as far as I'm aware.

It will be. I got in contact with La_maison who bought the domain and we're in the process of transferring the ownership of it to myself.

Why is it so important that this is gone before you re-install windows? I don't understand.

And here's your answer: you can't. It used to close automatically if you closed it but Valve changed it so it automatically opens when you open the game. You can't hide the panels in the HUD files either, because you won't see the item notification panel otherwise.

Not even with custom materials, either. You wouldn't be able to correctly place the links.

Bumping this again for back end thanks friends

Are you talking about the news thing on the main menu that tells you about the latest update or whatever? Also, why is so urgent that you need to know before you get "a new one"

I didn't have the fonts installed because I used my hud to edit it, but try this

If you need it longer, let me know man. Doesn't take very long.
