[TUTORIAL] Custom HUD Colors
Well. You clicked it, so here I go. This tutorial allows you to modify the color of your HUD, with your choice of colors. The MAPNAME and ROUND TIMER are NOT affected by this.
EXAMPLES: ORIGINAL http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2..._2fort0016.jpg MOD http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2..._2fort0014.jpg Tools Needed: Lets see what you will need to modify your HUD colors: -NOTEPAD (yes thats it :) ) Step 1: Locate your ClientScheme.res and open it with Notepad. It should look something like this. (should be located in "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\FortressForever\ resource" ) *NOTE* This is just a small portion of the whole file. Your ClientScheme.res will be larger than this. Code:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I am going to use 2 different colors, and add them to the very top of the list. My first color will be the new HUD Background Color, I will call it HUD_CUSTOM_BG. My second color will be the new HUD Trim and Font Color, I will call this one HUD_CUSTOM_TRIM. Step 3: Define your custom HUD Colors. This must be done in RGBA color code. Which basically means "RedColor GreenColor BlueColor AlphaColor(Transparency)" Each color must be defined by a NUMBER , 0 - 255. Here is a link to a very nice RGB wiki article that gives plenty of color codes in [R G B] format. RGB WIKI Now Alpha is simple. 0 will be Completely Invisible. 255 will be a Solid Color I have decided that I will make my HUD_CUSTOM_BG - Black And my HUD_CUSTOM_TRIM - White Code:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Code:
/////////////////////////// BASE SETTINGS /////////////////////////// Step 5: Save and go check that shizzy out. Here is an example of the finished product I walked you through. BlackBG-WhiteTrimAndFont ClientScheme.res And here is an original. Just in-case you decide to jack things up and need a new one. ;) Default ClientScheme.res |

GJ.
Speaking of the HUD, was the team coloured HUD intended to be bolder that the default? Because it doesn't look as good. |
I just downloaded the custom file you provided, and changed the transparencies a little and my hud broke

:| never saw that before. it works without editing the alpha?

Say, will this kick me on sv_pure servers?
|
Not to my knowledge. Maybe Scuzzy would know?

Is the o-t server the only sv_pure server in FF?
