Description

This is not a HUD in its usual meaning, but some fixes for standard Team fortress 2 UI, adding HP numbers on target IDs, small Übercharge value label near the crosshair, popular custom crosshairs, etc. — see screenshots for more info. I do it for myself, but maybe someone will find it useful too.

This hud creates lag with the damage text, FPS Drops, when I get high damage or score multiple hits really quickly.
i.e. sticky detonating and playing pyro/engineer

I dont know if its my computer or the hud but in the man-co store the last strange map filters on the latest 3 halloween maps are that purple and black chess board.

Amazing HUD tho!

≡ ⌐ ⌐ □ ⌐,

You need to open original \scripts\hudlayout.res file (you can get it by GFCScape) and change HudPlayerClass and HudAmmoWeapons "wide" and "tall" parameters to "f0" and "480". Now you can go to \resource\ui\, find same named files and change it positions on screen as you want. Some of these files not included in my HUD, so you need to change original files. It gonna be hard if you never edited HUDs before. Check this guide first: http://doodlesstuff.com/?p=tf2hud

Nice M3M3 Dave,

Do you use custom hitmarker?

Janz,

It looks normal for me. Try to verify game files (it may fix missing textures problems):
Steam > Library > Right click on "Team Fortress 2" > Local files > Verify integrity of game files…

I think i might have found a fix for the lag with hitnumbers.

Hitmarkers in custom huds causing fps drops
Custom huds available here on huds.tf might offer hitmarkers and have flashing crosshairs when dealing damage, blinking and fading damage numbers or other implementations of the event DamagedPlayer animation.

Damaging to a lot of players/bots in a short timeframe or dealing a lot of (small) damage instances to the same target (pyro flames/mvm medic shield) can cause severe frame drops, as each damage instance will trigger the animation event, causing them to stack and thus make you drop frames. After thorough analysis by sigsegv (recommended read) and being pointed in the right direction, Wiethoofd did some testing with StopAnimation and StopEvent animation triggers and figured out the correct way to have damage hitmarkers without causing massive frame drops because of the damage event stacking, without having to comment out existing code to disable the animation.

Solution/workaround
Renaming the old DamagedPlayer animation to (for instance) HitMarker and calling the renamed event from the DamagedPlayer event instead, should prevent the game from stacking the animations and not cause frames to drop. Adding an additional StopEvent just before calling (another) instance of the same animation event should make sure there are no duplicate/stacking events causing any issues. Just make sure to start another event shortly after stopping it with StopEvent.

Simplified example of old hitmarker event possibly causing fps drops:
Code:
event DamagedPlayer { // Blinks Crosshair for 1/10th of a second red and reset to white
Animate Crosshair FgColor Red Linear 0.0 0.1
Animate Crosshair FgColor White Linear 0.1 0.1
}

Animation sequence without StopEvent:
Code:
// Start 'hitmarker animation'
event DamagedPlayer {
RunEvent HitMarker 0.0
}
event HitMarker { // Blink Crosshair for 1/10th of a second red and reset to white
Animate Crosshair FgColor Red Linear 0.0 0.1
Animate Crosshair FgColor White Linear 0.1 0.1
}
Improved animation sequences with StopEvent (optional but recommended):
Code:
// Stop any 'hitmarker animation events' before starting another
event DamagedPlayer {
StopEvent HitMarker 0.0
RunEvent HitMarker 0.01
}
event HitMarker { // Blink Crosshair for 1/10th of a second red and reset to white
Animate Crosshair FgColor Red Linear 0.0 0.1
Animate Crosshair FgColor White Linear 0.1 0.1
}
Use the aforementioned code as examples to fix existing DamagedPlayer animations events (while moving animations to use the hudanimations_manifest.txt setup).

I really like this HUD, it;s one of my favourites. But I only have one issue, everytime I play Pyro and W+M1 someone the game dips to fps like 16 when I regulary have 60. I have no issue like this when I'm using any other HUD. So I am now asking for you to fix the issue in the future, thanks.

I'm a person who's really into the original hud, so THIS hud is the best thing ever for me!

Is it possible to enable transparent viewmodels on this hud?

I really like this hud but when I have a killstreak weapon active, it has the box around it instead of it being text. Is this a new change?

Oh wait i found a solution by reading the comments, my bad! (Just go to the Advanced settings and check "Enable Minimal HUD").
Posted 23-07-2017, 05:51 AM

Question. How do you use the Custom Crosshairs?
