Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my latest project – http://q-ball.io/hudcreator
As you may have guessed from the title, it is online hud creation tool.
Hudcreator is a very basic tool that lets you change size, position, color and font of all basic hud elements (health, ammo, etc), as well as edit Scoreboard, Winpanel, Team menu and Class selection screen elements.

It is fairly easy to use, so I hope there’s no need in any kind of tutorials.
Nevertheless, there are few things worth mentioning before you start working with a website:
– For website to work properly you will need to have localStorage enabled.
– HUD made for specific aspect ratio will only work on screens with that aspect ratio. So, for example, if you made HUD for 640×480 screen resolution, it will work fine on any resolution with 4:3 aspect ration, but will break with 16:10 or 16:9.
– Reset button will return everything to default state.
– You can upload your custom fonts into the system. Font will be available only until you press the Reset button.
– Removing element from canvas makes it invisible.
– Special built-in function will auto-save your current progress (canvas) every 20 seconds in localStorage.
– Positions of some elements might be a little bit off (few pixels) – thanks to the wonderful people working at Valve and also to the cross-browser stuff.
– MvM will NOT be supported! At least for the time being.
– It is possible to reset website using following link – http://q-ball.io/hudcreator?reset=1

Holy shit, this is epic, great work. I wonder if you could implement an option to load huds, so you can edit what you made later or even other huds to adjust positions etc.

Damn Q-Ball!
HUD creating is suddenly 90% easier.
