HUD Questions / Bugs / Feature Requests

[Whisker :>]

Nowadays, Discord is much better for getting quick help with budhud questions: https://discord.gg/TkxNKU2

If you prefer, though, you can always create a thread here in the General Forums and (assuming I get a notification from Steam) I'll answer it :)


I keep track of all issues I know of here[github.com]. Any issues open but labeled as "Fixed" or "Feature Added" simply haven't been pushed to the latest version of the hud, and will be released soon.

The best information to include when reporting a bug/issue/etc

• When / how / where it happens
  
• A screenshot of what it looks like
  
• Your resolution
  
• Your operating system

hey whiskym i have a question, i notice it is just with ur hud, I cant view the scoreboard until i am either spec, red or blu. For instance, on tf2 default or brossel, when i join a server, i pass the server welcome screen and all that stuff, then when i choose a team, i can press (TAB) which is my scoreboard bind, and I can see the teams and the players on them. How can i get about doing this with your hud? :3

Whenever i change my crosshair to green in notepad++ and save and go in game it dosnt work i changed it to 0 215 0 225 already but it isnt working please help

If you are using wayays cross hair it should look like this in clientscheme.res (if u want it to stay the same color, no flash on damage):

// whayay's Crosshairs
			"ya_crosshair"		" 0 215 0 225" 	// Crosshair color
			"ya_xhairflash"		" 0 215 0 225"	// Flash on damage done

If this is true and it still doesnt work, open up budhud/scripts/hudanimations_tf.txt

In it, at the top it should be like this (don't pay attention to the linear numbers, those are just there to specify the ammount of time the crosshair will change color, if it does):

{
    Animate Crosshair 		FgColor 	"ya_xhairflash" 		Linear 0.0 0.00001
	Animate Crosshair 		FgColor 	"ya_crosshair" 			Linear 0.8 0.10001
}

If you are not using whaywhy's crosshair then try this:
Go to hudlayout.res in scripts, (I will be using crosshair1 as an example, but apply this to the crosshair of your choice)

"Crosshair1"
	{
        "controlname"		"CExLabel"
		"fieldname"			"Crosshair"
        "textAlignment"		"center"
		"xpos"				"1"
		"ypos"				"-1"
		"zpos"				"0"
		"wide"				"f0"
		"tall"				"480"
        "enabled"			"0"
        
        "visible"			"0"			  			//"1" to enable
        
		"labeltext"			"e"           			//Change this to use a different crosshair
													//You can see the list of crosshairs in Crosshairs.png
        
        "font"				"CrosshairAABig"	    //Use "CrosshairOL" for a crosshair with an outline
													//or "CrosshairAA" for a smooth crosshair w/o an outline 
                                     
													//You can add "Small" or "Big" at the end to change the size
													//e.g. "CrosshairOLSmall"
        
        "fgcolor"			"ya_crosshair1"      		//Color is changed via the clientscheme
													//in the "/resource/" folder
	}

NOTICE the fgcolor set as ya_crosshair1, as i have it FOR ME. yours will probably be different, just put in the green color u wanted from the begining for fgcolor in crosshair(#)

To condense what he said above --

What crosshair are you trying to use? Is it an in-game crosshair or custom crosshair?

A. If it's whayay's crosshair, make sure you're changing both entries in:

budhud\resource\clientscheme.res

(ya_crosshair and ya_xhairflash). The defaults for those two are "255 255 255 255" (white) and "240 134 49 255" (orange flash on damage).

B. If you're using one of Fog's crosshairs, make sure you're changing the entry for "fog_crosshair" (the default is also 255 255 255 255, or white).

As this is a change in clientscheme.res, you'll have to restart your game when you change your crosshair's color.

Is anyone having problems with mvm not working, cause its not letting me in to MvM. plz help :C

[Whisker :>]

The MvM menu or the map? I'll check.

E: Huh, that's odd...it appears to be this file:

budhud\resource\ui\statsummary.res

If you remove that, it'll fix the issue. I'll try to figure out why exactly the crash is happening, but I assume it's because TF2 is trying to reference a specific line of code for MvM that I removed in that file.

[codedeeply]

Hi,

First off, thank you for creating and maintaining the HUD. I love it!

I just installed the files a few hours ago, and followed all the instructions. The game loads fine, and I can join a server and begin playing, but after 5-10 minutes, the game suddenly crashes with no warning, and no error messages are shown. This has happened twice, once when connected to a local server, and once when connected to an online server.

I'm playing on Windows 8.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

budhud\resource\ui\mainmenuoverride.res

Go into that file and CTRL + F for "PlayPVEButton". Once you find the correct section (that looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/yowlUoy.png ), increase the "wide" and "tall" values. Assuming it's getting cut off on the right side, you'd want to increase the wide value.

For the former, I'm not sure what the issue is -- for the latter, that's how it's supposed to look right now. That's one of the things I'm still trying to figure out.
For reference, this is what mine looks like, so I'm not sure what numbers you could be referring to: http://i.imgur.com/Exgwqwv.png

I'll try to figure out why this is happening, that is odd.. I'm not sure if it's TF2 or my hud. I'll get back to you guys when I can.

If it's any help at all, I've noticed that it crashes whenever I first die.

[Whisker :>]

Yeah, I believe it could have to do with a mass change I did... I'm testing out a backup I did just prior to it, and I'm hoping that will resolve the issue. It seems to specifically be due to dying.
