davis_> anywhere I can ask questions related to hud editing? since I suppose this channel isn’t the most appropriated

davis_> i didnt do it since it’s such a simple question
davis_> making a thread anyway

Probably misleading title and pointless thread.

Wanted to ask you all, in which way you prefer your chat, since yesterday I wanted to make some hud edits and I couldn’t find anything specifically related to it.

Is there any way to shrink the chat font? Tried to change it on clientscheme.res but probably isn’t the right place.

Is there any way to make that grey chat box transparent? Also tried yesterday but just made it worse (gotta take a ss for you all to see this epic fail)

know any custom huds who do any of these above?

thanks in advance

though was more into actual hud file editing, not cvar settings, thanks for contributing

he probably has those in a different place on the screen, saw some custom huds which change them to the centered-left, on the opposite side from where those weapon logos appear when you have hud_fastswitch 0

try chatscheme.res
gunblade’s m0rehud edit (think it’s on github) has one the looks quite nice

In some huds lower chatbase is better, but in some other huds top chatbase is better. for example for broesel I think lower is better but for pvhud, top chatbase is better…

btw as far as i can remember all my chat edits i did in
“Resource/UI/BaseChat.res”
“Resource/ChatScheme.res”

but i am not entirely sure. good luck tho

thank you for the help, but for some really odd reason, any change I make to the files, nothing changes, no clue of what I’m doing wrong.
At first, tried to use broeselhud as a base, nothing changed, tried the default hud, nothing changed aswell.

Running out of ideas.

Always used “custom” folder.
