Hi ell, it’s a very nice HUD i have one question, how install the scoreboard namely the ” Bash’s Scoreboard “

Quoted from Tatooine

how install the scoreboard namely the ” Bash’s Scoreboard “

There are instructions in the attached pdf, but I know they can be a bit tricky. It was made on Bash’s request and is available as is for everyone else who wants to put in the extra effort. For example, to make a Bash’s Scoreboard for 1080 vertical resolution:

1
Open BashScoreboard1050.res and Scoreboard1080.res in a text editor.

2
Both files have an entity called ServerLabel that looks something like this.

“ServerLabel”
{
“ControlName” “CExLabel”
“fieldName” “ServerLabel”
“font” “lType1-O”
…
}

Replace the ServerLabel in Scoreboard1080.res with that from BashScoreboard1050.res.

3
Repeat for “LocalPlayerStatsPanel”.

4
Scoreboard1080.res is now a Bash’s Scoreboard for 1080 vertical resolution. Install it like any other scoreboard as described in the manual.

It should just be standard. It’s very annoying having to find the right scoreboard and edit shit constantly every time I want to use this hud. It’s the only one that works perfectly with 640×480 but the lack of any info and the effort that I have to put in to add any is just not worth it. Also stuff is done so differently regarding crosshairs and shit like that compared to any other HUD that it’s such a ballache to add anything I want myself. :C

The reason why I have a separate scoreboard file for each vertical resolution is that Valve made it so that if you align everything on one resolution it will be a mess on all the others. Other HUD makes simply don’t bother. Assembly takes less than a minute, I do it a few times a year and save my personalized HUD on the desktop. It also shows what parts are resolution dependent and how to switch resolution without reinstalling the whole HUD. If someone modifies their HUD and wants to switch resolution that is very useful to know.

I won’t make Bash’s scoreboard in for all resolutions, keeping things small and simple is the best way to ensure reliability and I won’t sacrifice that for more features. What information were you missing? How is the crosshair customization difficult? How would you like it to work? What HUD gets it most right?

Would it be possible to add a black outline around the custom crosshair? I use a 1CH22 size.

If not, could a shadow be adapted to provide a black background for the crosshair center space?

Easy, change the value of the outline field to 1 in lCH22 like this:

“lCH22”
{
“1”
{
“name” “Ell’s Crosshair”
“tall” “22”
“additive” “0”
“antialias” “0”
“outline” “1”
}
}

You can find it in ellshud/resource/ClientScheme.res at line 746. Also note that it’s L-C-H-22 not 1-C-H-2. The coordinates and dimensions of shadows are based on a low res grid and therefore subject to approximation, not a good idea for crosshairs where position is critical for precision.

How do I change between 6v6 and 16v16 scoreboards?

Quoted from ell

[…]
There is no 16on16 scoreboard but there is a 9on9 for highlander. Type “cl_hud_minmode 1” and “cl_hud_minmode 0” in console for 6on6 and highlander respectively.

Thanks. Waiting for the new update :>

BTW Can you make the Charge Bars more transparent?

hey so i downloaded your hud and i LOVE IT! but a recent update (early may, i believe), made it so that my ubercharge does’t merely show the percent of uber, but instead it shows: “UBERCH…”. it does not change when i charge the uber, and my heal target can still see how much i am charged when i heal them or they look at me, but i can’t see it. I have been searching but i seem to be the only one with this complaint. I tried using v4.3, but the same problem remained. It does not affect the ubercharge itself (it still charges normally) but i just can’t see it! here are sceenshots: http://imgur.com/a/uxhWV
