Hey guys, a few weeks ago I conducted a survey. (http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/12015/1#post-193751)

Unfortunately shortly after I published the survey, I was then bogged down with college work. After three weeks a few calculus assignemtns, and 1,800+ responses later, I finally had the free time to throw the data together in a format that was somewhat nice to look at.

Without further ado, here it is:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiNvS6O2klh2dEhmaENJam11WVhZcktLcVpjR1lLVHc&usp=sharing

To explain a few things, on table two (or "Raw HUD Results"), the "adjusted votes" were determined by looking at the results of the people that said "Other" as their response, but then specified a hud(s) that was on the survey already. A few examples of this would be Slinfire (Which is an edited BladeHUD), FLV (which is a different version of yA_HUD), etc. I then took those votes out of other and added them to their respective HUDs (Thus the -14 on the "Other" section).

Sorry it took so long to get the results out. I appreciate you all for being so patient with me and giving me great feedback though! It means a lot to me!

EDIT: Also, the site that I used to conduct the survey came with it's own results form. You can check that out here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19762650/survey_20130922%2009-11-22.pdf

(However, note that it doesn't show all of the "Other" responses.)

As far as I know, it can't be done. You either have to pick left or right and live with that.

Included in this new installer are the options to the HUD that weren't included in it previously:

-The option to enable/disable the custom main menu background.
-The option to enable the team-colored health bar in both the normal and minmode versions of the HUD.
-The option to enable the alternate font.
-The option to enable the new, larger health cross with the numerical value inside it. (NOT MINMODE)
-Fixed many of the crashing issues.

Info to anyone who's concerned:

Tree is back in a position in which he'll be able to put a bit of time towards the rayshud installer. I can't confirm a time and date on it, but it should have the addition of the newer features of the HUD on it (option between whether or not you want the custom main menu background, alternate 6s/9s, team-colored health line, etc.), and assuming all goes well, be a lot more stable.

Sorry, I had more homework that I had to take care of this past weekend than I expected - However, there were a few results trickling in over the weekend, so I was a bit hesitant to rush on releasing the info just yet anyways, just to make sure everyone was able to get their votes in.

I'll see what I can do about getting them out within 24 hours. If, for whatever reason, I'm not able to get them out by then, I can guarantee that they'll be released this weekend.

It's all handled in "hudlayout.res" in the "HudCloseCaption" section.

Thanks for all of the replies so far!

After just 15 hours, I've already received over 1,200 responses! If you haven't already filled this out, or you have a friend that you know hasn't, feel free to link it to them, by all means.

Assuming there's enough interest, I'll make like an excel document of the results with some stats or something, and post them in this thread.

Hey guys. After reading this thread:

http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/12011-how-many-people-use-which-huds

I thought about it a bit myself, and decided it would be an interesting statistic to have. After doing a bit of digging, I believe I found a fairly complete list of all of the most popular HUDs that are currently being used, and threw together a survey.

When creating the list, I took all of the names of HUDs in the first post of the comprehensive HUD guide that's posted here. In addition to that, I also quickly skimmed the customization forum as well, making sure to add in those HUDs that hadn't made it onto the thread yet. (mangacHUD, Goat_HUD, dinohud, etc.)

If your HUD didn't make it on the list, I promise that it wasn't intentionally left out. To do my best to remedy this, I've added in an "other" choice at the very bottom of the poll, in which you're welcome to specify the HUD that I carelessly forgot to add.

As far as results are concerned, I'm more than happy to share them with the community, assuming there's enough interest. However, it will most likely be a few days at most before I release any information, just to make sure that the most accurate results are collected.

But because I'd like to get accurate results, feel free to share this poll with your friends, regardless of whether or not they play the game competitively.

Anyways, sorry for the wall of text; here's the poll:

Thank you for reading. :>

Why is there an apostrophe in my name?

Just because my name is "rays" doesn't mean my name is Ray. :<

Make sure that your materials, scripts, and resource folders are all in their own folder within the custom directory. I just downloaded and installed from the zip without any issues.

rayshud v3.51 is out!

It includes the following changes:
-An optional team-colored line underneath your health number to indicate what team you're on. [NOT YET IN INSTALLER]
-A reworked CTF panel, including a few fixes, such as flag misalignment on the special delivery game mode.
-Fixed the notification button on the main menu getting cut off.
-Added support for the new 3D models.
-Fixed the 2D class image on the spy disguise always displaying a red scout.

You can download the update here:

https://github.com/raysfire/rayshud/archive/297880bd83e7e0cd5ab6f7bfd47edd2972d65db9.zip

Or via the installer by Tree [CURRENTLY VERY BUGGY]:

TO ENABLE THE NEW HEALTH BAR:

http://puu.sh/4gJ4O.jpg

Simply navigate to your resource/ui folder within your HUD folder. Once you're there, find the file labeled "HudPlayerHealth", and either rename it something different or delete it all together. Then, find the file labeled "HudPlayerHealth-teambar", and rename it to the original name of "HudPlayerHealth", thus replacing it.

SCREENSHOTS OF THE NEW CTF PANEL, 3D MODEL:

http://puu.sh/4fYL9

The new 3D panel can be either enabled by using the advanced options dialog box, or by setting "cl_hud_playerclass_use_playermodel" to "1".

Sorry for the late replies, guys! I just recently started college (yesterday), so I'm a little busy at the moment. As far as the new 3D model is concerned, I'll work on adding that in as a feature this weekend, and potentially as a feature in the installer at a later date.

But as far as everything else is concerned, let me see if I can take care of these now:

Sure!

I didn't test it though, so if this is messed up at all, just let me know.

Can you provide screenshots? I haven't had any of those issues, so I'm a little confused as to what it is you're talking about exactly. If you're on a Mac, I'm afraid you'll have to wait til a future date, when I'm able to fix the fonts to be a bit more Mac-friendly.

I actually attempted to edit the glyphs of the font file itself so that it'd be a bit more functional on a Mac. However, I haven't quite mastered that yet, as things are still a bit off on Mac computers. Hopefully I'll fix it soon!

This is a feature that hasn't been added in yet. Hopefully we'll get around to implementing it soon. Sorry about the confusion. Thanks for the link, element!

If you're referring to the 3d person, I'll be hopefully doing that this weekend.

If you're using a basic editor such as Notepad, I believe the installer breaks the formatting (for some reason), on that editor. However, using something such as Notepad++ should resolve the issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

I moved into mine last Wednesday:

However, apparently UT Austin is going to be partnering with Google Fiber when it comes here next year, so that's cool.
