(Solved!) Can't install custom HUDs on SteamPipe TF2?

[♡ boat]

I wish to install DoodleHUD and whenever I go into game it shows up as stock HUD. But it doesn't uninstall it. Am I installing it in the wrong location (steamapps/common/team fortress 2)?

EDIT: A lovely man/woman in the comments has answered! You can leave a comment here and we will attempt to help you. Cheers!

As always valve fuc*ed up...

your custom stuff goes in steamapps/common/team fortress 2/tf/custom folder. So make a new folder and put the files (materials, resources, scripts etc) in there.

The full directory should be something like this:
steamapps/common/team fortress 2/tf/custom/DoodleHUD/<insert those files here>.

That worked! Cheers!
For future reference and others: Do not put root sub folders into /custom. I made a folder called "Twitch Fortress" and put all my mods in there. Works great!

i tried this tutorial but it doesn't work for me, it loads stock hud, btw, i use pvhud, anybody help or provide a more explanatory tutorial?

[battle2525]

if you're using an installer, might want to see if it's updated because the path might be wrong. if you're using .vpk just place that file in tf/custom directly (no need to make a new folder).

Thanks guys! THis helps a lot. Does anyone know what you do about .cfg files?

Let me try to grasp this concept:
So mods in general should go in the "custom" folder?
Do I put the downloads, materials, models, particles, and sounds (I have a lot of mods) folders all into this "custom" folder?
Or is there anything else I need to do?

you put them in a subfolder of "custom"

or you can you use multiple subfolders to organize mods

Thank you very much, it works for me now. Had to make the subfolder, that's what I was doing wrong.

Every time I try to do this, my tf2 crashes during the loading screen. I am using PVhud and I can't seem to figure it out why it keeps doing that.

Ok I just removed the pvhud and it keeps crashing still. I need help!
