Hi !
Some of my friends asked me to create a program that can change hud and cfg easily, because they always do it manually (they use 1 for casting and 1 for normal playing).

I have created it, and now i want to share it with you.

How it works: You can swap the contents of the cfg and folder that with cfg_ (e.g.: cfg_cast) starts. These must be under tf folder.

You can swap the contents of the cfg and folder starts with cfg_ (e.g.: cfg_cast) folders content. These must be under tf folder.

HUD Change: under /tf/custom/ there must be vpk and old_vpk files.

You can browse to your HUD’s folder and convert it to old_vpk (the program will automatically place the converted file under custom folder). (if you have only old_vpk files, you have to change one of the files extension to vpk)

Launch Option presets: you can easily change launch options for TF2.

Can it be used to change -dxlevel? If yes, it’s nice for movie makers. If no, still really nice.

Currently you can’t change launch options, but i can easily add that feature to the program. Thanks for the suggestion, it will be in the next version :)

If somebody finds a bug, or has any idea what feature would be good in the program, please leave a comment below, if it is possible, i will do it ! :)

Do the huds have to be vpk or could you make it work on hud folders? :)

Select folder you want to convert: press the browse button, select the hud folder than press convert. It will generate the vpk file and place it in the custom folder. This is the only way for now, but after i do the launch option presets i will try to make it work with hud folders.

New version available!

v1.4: Added launch option presets, possibility to check for updates
