This update coincides with the release of the new TF2 HUD Editor, meaning there are breaking changes that make it incompatible with the older installers/editors. Going forward, please use the latest version of the editor here: https://github.com/CriticalFlaw/TF2HUD.Editor/releases

Also, I created a Discord server for discussing and helping with issues related to rayshud (+flawhud) as well as collect feedback for future releases. If you're interested in joining, the invite link is: https://discord.gg/hTdtK9vBhE
