Custom HUDs

[ta1os]

Here's something I've been messing around with for a while, thought I'd post it up here so you folks could grab it if you want to. Comes in two flavors, a more minimal one focused on taking up little extra space on your screen while still being more accessible than the default HUD and a bolder, more centralized one that strives to keep HUD elements such as your Health and Ammo easy to keep track of without taking your eyes off of the crosshair.

Just drop the folders into Steam/steamapps/SourceMods/NeotokyoSource. I would recommend backing up all relevant files beforehand in case you want to revert to the default HUD. As far as I know these should (theoretically) work on all resolutions. Constructive criticism/feedback is appreciated.

If you want to tweak the HUD yourself just open up scripts/HudLayout.res in Notepad, start up Neotokyo, bind a key to hud_reloadscheme, and start messin around with the values under NHudHealth and NHudWeapon. (Those are the main ones, most of the elements in this file don't actually do anything.) If you want to change fonts and font sizes (including ammo indicators) you'll have to go to resources/ClientScheme.res, however to see the effects of changes to this file you'll have to restart NT.

Very nice, will give it a try. Thanks.

I LIKE it! In particular, I like how the minimal hud is centered on your weapon, so it doesn't really obscure anything that wasn't obscured in the first place. I'll give it a looksee.

Greetings.

Could you share you got yours to scale to other resolutions? I am in the process of making a hud and at other resolutions it appears out of place.

Here's what I have so far. I would also like to know if there is a way to re-position the ammo indicator.

I had that problem too at first. I'm guessing your xpos values are all set relative to the left side of the screen. Use c and r to set them relative to the center or right side of the screen e.g. 105 will place it 105 from the left side of the screen but c105 or c-105 will place it 105 to the right or left of center respectively. All ammo hud elements should be under NHudWeapon.

Hope this helps.
