Simple guide on custom huds and how to customize them. Anyone's input would be greatly appreciated. I want to make this a sticky post so people can actually use this as a reference.

For all the tf2 players wondering what a custom hud is, you've come to the right place. The Head-up display, or HUD, is a system for quickly relaying important information to the user. It appears as various tabs surrounding the player's view in-game.


Default Hud:



As you can see it shows the score, your ammo and reserves, as well as your health. All useful information is located on the hud. You may ask why you would want a different hud. The answer is simple, some people prefer to have the information given to them in different placements and less graphical and more straight to the point.

Maybe you can help goose...

I used Oxide's HUD, and when I played, my video was so jumpy. I didn't check my FPS, but it seemed to have dropped SIGNIFICANTLY. Any ideas?

*P.S.* Stickied. I'm going to merge all the other comments on the other thread over to here.

Sorry Goose, was stickying the topic and fucked something up. Read what you posted though.

Anyway, I WAS in an idle server... I should've checked if that was the problem.

I'm hesitant to re-apply it. Do you really think custom HUD's are that great after you've played as long as we have?

I switched to PVHUD and love it.

It's similar to the default but the damage notification, large health, and ammo is well worth it. It also cuts down on all the other clutter.

Don't test in the idle server, I was having problems with everything in there.

Alright, I'm going to try PV tonight.

What does Medic/Uber look like on it?

+1 on PVHUD - Thanks for the heads up Goose. Granted using these won't make you Roland overnight - but it's cool to try them out. I started customizing my own HUD - let me know if you are interested.



Takes some screen view away - but you can see enough.

LOL I LAFFED BEN

LOL!

I'm just waiting for one of these huds to update from the most recent update.

oh, and http://m0re.nocrits.com

That's the hud that I use.

PVHUD is fixed.

is anyone using the oxide HUD on 1920x1080? i got a new monitor less than a week ago and now it doesn't display some things on the lower right side (ex. half of ubercharge bar is off-screen)

anybody having the same problem?

nvm. thanks andyadd

No problem.
