There aren't that many happy colors in there as it might seem, I used white whenever I could and green and magenta as complementary colors to separate text or denote a change of state.

Been using this for a few days now and I love it. Fantastic hud, and ell is very very helpful with any questions or critiques you may have.

Antialiasing and outlines don't play well togeather. The antialiased outlines you see if some HUDs are actually multiple stacked black texts; They don't perform consistently because the low resolution positioning grid forces the game to approximate while rendering. They also can't be used in every part of the HUD. At the end of the day, this was the most favourable option. dana wrote: Ell is the modern-day TF2 HUD renaissance man. Didn't you make SquareHUD too?

In other words: Paiiinnn I'm getting everything but the Class Selection loadout to work. Any thoughts? Last edited: Mon, 16 Apr 2012, 11:30pm by dennis

I believe it is controlled by a few files: ClassInfoPanel, Classmenu_blue, Classmenu_red, ClassSelection, perhaps. But if there were only one part of any custom HUD I'd advise you NOT to fuck with it'd be that one. I think it's notorious for breaking the HUD and crashing the game. I've even noticed some of the most comprehensive HUDs completely forego modifying the class screen because it can be so problematic.

I've even noticed some of the most comprehensive HUDs completely forego modifying the class screen because it can be so problematic. Valve change their conventions every once in a while, rendering the old HUD files useless. When you're copying a file to the HUD directories you're overriding the corresponding internal files. Therefore, if you want a reliable stabil and maintainable HUD, you should keep this set to a minimum. I'd like to discourage editing menus and use scripts in their place. I use the following: Class selection: A separate key for switching to each class. Build menu: A key associated with each building. Pressing the key brings out the building ready to be placed when it's not built and destroys it when it is. Disguse Menu: 9 keys for selecting a class. Two keys for disguising as the selected class belonging to the own and opposing team. See my config for more details: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=4h4tJB0z
