If you’re using a Mac and would like to use this hud, then upon installing, navigate to your resource folder. From there, delete both the “Cerbetica” and “Cerbetica_edited” fonts. Then, rename the “Cerbetica-mac” and “Cerbetica_edited-mac” fonts to the names of those you just deleted, replacing them.

It includes the following changes:

-An updated bold font to make health/ammo numbers look less pixelly. (WINDOWS ONLY)
-Fixes to the positioning of some elements in the centered team select menu.
-A few minor positioning/color fixes on various hud elements.
-The ability to cycle through pages in your backpack with the A/D keys.

MAC USERS:

First off, I’m sorry the fonts aren’t perfect just yet. Since I didn’t have a mac to test them, I couldn’t 100% be sure that they were positioned correctly or that they function as needed. I’m doing my best to fix it for you guys, but since I’m busy with school, you probably won’t see an update until I graduate in June. If I have some time though during the month, I’ll see what I can do.

Second, if you’re on a mac and are using my hud, you’ll now need to delete the Clientscheme.res in place and replace it with the ClientScheme-mac.res in your resource folder, just like you were already doing with the fonts. Sorry for the inconveniences. :(

ABOUT THIS UPDATE:

Album of new changes: http://imgur.com/a/Fk7Ho

So, I finally decided that I needed to jump back into the world of HUD developing. I needed a summer project anyways; so this was more than enough. With this update comes a full menu redesign; and I just really want to thank everyone that supported me by watching me edit this live during my many, multiple-hour dull HUD editing sessions. It means a lot to me that you all watched, even though I was doing nothing but this for literally two weeks of my life when I streamed.

As far as the installer and everything is concerned: While its technically working on the installer, its very buggy at the current time and prone to crash, depending on which setting you select or don’t select. If the installer works for you, great, but if not, it’d really be helpful to both Tree and myself if you could grab the attached log.txt file that’s generated in the same folder of the installer, throw its contents in a pastebin, and paste it in this thread so we can determine where things are breaking.

As far as the options to choose which version of the HUD font you use, or if you want to use the new health cross as your primary health display, these options will be added into the installer soon. Tree recently got back to a location where he can put in work on the installer again, so we can potentially see those coming out in later installer versions.

___________

TO INSTALL THE NEW HEALTH CROSS:

http://puu.sh/43rYM.jpg

In order to install the new heatlh cross, it’s just a simple file replace. First, navigate to your HUD’s install directory, (so in many cases it’s “tf/custom/mystuff”, or “tf/custom/rayshud”)

Once there, go into first the resource folder, then the UI folder. Navigate to the “HudPlayerHealth.res” section. There should be three files.

Once you’ve found them, first, delete the “HudPlayerHealth.res” file completely. Once its gone, right-click the file labeled “HudPlayerHealth-broeselcross.res”, and rename it previous file’s name, simply “HudPlayerHealth.res”. If you’re in game, you should then type “hud_reloadscheme” into console. If not, then start up the game and you’re good to go.

___________

TO INSTALL THE ALTERNATE FONT:

http://puu.sh/43rJy

Same as the health cross, simply navigate to your HUD files again. This time all you need to do is open up your resource folder.

Once there, using the method explained above, replace the files “Cerbetica_edited” and “Cerbetica_bold” with “Cerbetica_edited-alt” and “Cerbetica_bold-alt”.

Be aware that this can’t be done while TF2 is currently running.

___________

KNOWN HUD BUGS:

-The notification that appears on the main menu to signify that you have a new item is cut off.

TLDR I’m a huge fan as in pc case fan of your hud, before I actually try it is there any ez way I can get the backgrounds to the tf2 regular ones?

Hope you’ll update this stupid new tf2 update <3

Just delete the files in materials/console, and delete the file called “chapterbackgrounds.txt” in your scripts folder. :D
