Improved default HUD

What is this?

This is not a HUD in its usual meaning, but some fixes for standard Team fortress 2 UI, adding HP numbers on target IDs, small Übercharge value label near the crosshair, popular custom crosshairs, etc. — see screenshots for more info. I do it for myself, but maybe someone will find it useful too.

NOTE: Use Notepad++ to edit the HUD files; also you need to install HUD fonts into your system (open idhud-master\resource\fonts\, then RMB on font file → Install).

Main Menu
Scoreboard
SourceTV
Battle Scene
Health on TargetID
Hit indicator, Killfeed

How to install

1. Unpack the downloaded archive and move idhud-master folder to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\ (path may be different depending on your Steam games directory);

2. Install fonts from idhud-master\resource\fonts\ folder into your system: RMB on font file → Install);

3. Run the game and enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to turn on/off crosshairs/hitmarker

Used files:

idhud-master\scripts\hudcrosshairs.res

idhud-master\scripts\hudanimations_tf - hit indicator.txt

To enable the custom crosshair(s), open the idhud-master\scripts\hudcrosshairs.res file, then CTRL+F for needed number from table (see screenshot below) and change "visible" and/or "visible_minmode" parameter values to "1". Then you can calibrate crosshair position on the screen with "xpos", "ypos" and "wide", "tall" too. I recommend not to turn off the standard HUD crosshair when you're setting position for the custom one. All custom crosshairs in this HUD calibrated to use on 16:9 screen resolution by default.

The default crosshair structure looks like:

Parameter	Var	Description
Cross //1.1		crosshair name and number you looking for
{
"controlName"	"CExLabel"	do not change
"fieldName"	"Cross"	do not change
"visible"	"0"	"1" to enable visibility, "0" to disable
"visible_minmode"	"0"	"1" to enable visibility in minmode, "0" to disable
"enabled"	"1"	do not change
"xpos"	"c-25"	X axis from center of screen
"ypos"	"c-25"	Y axis from center of screen
"zpos"	"2"	Z axis (use it when multiple xhairs enabled)
"wide"	"50"	use it for more accurate X axis positioning if needed
"tall"	"50"	use it for more accurate Y axis positioning if needed
"font"	"CrosshairsOutline16"	used font parameter (look for avalable fonts in `idhud-master\resource\clientscheme.res`)
"labelText"	"a"	do not change
"textAlignment"	"center"	do not change
"fgcolor"	"255 255 255 255"	RGBA (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) color (0 — min intensity, 255 — max)
}

For example, let's make your crosshair yellow and enabled only in minmode. So we're need to add/change some parameters:

"visible"	"0"	now it will be disabled when cl_hud_minmode "0"
"visible_minmode"	"1"	make it visible only in minmode. You can use `_minmode` with any parameter you want
"fgcolor"	"255 255 0 255"	because red+green=yellow in RGB color model

To enable the hitmarker (damage indicator), go to the idhud-master\scripts\hudanimations_tf - hit indicator.txt file.

Crosshairs included
COD-style hitmarker and simple custom crosshair with outline

How to change damage position and visibility

Used files:

idhud-master\resource\ui\huddamageaccount.res

idhud-master\advanced\resource\ui\huddamageaccount - default bold.res

idhud-master\advanced\resource\ui\huddamageaccount - yellow.res

The default HudDamageAccount structure looks like:

Parameter	Var	Description
CDamageAccountPanel		damage/healing numbers near the enemy
{
"fieldName"	"CDamageAccountPanel"	do not change
"text_x"	"0"	do not change
"text_y"	"0"	do not change
"delta_item_end_y"	"0"	do not change
"PositiveColor"	"255 255 50 255"	damage colour (RGBA)
"NegativeColor"	"50 255 50 255"	healing colour (RGBA)
"delta_lifetime"	"3.0"	how long last damage numbers stay visible on screen
"delta_item_font"	"DefaultOutline"	font used for damage numbers near the enemy
"delta_item_font_big"	"DefaultOutline"	font used for much damage done
}

Parameter	Var	Description
"CDamageAccountValue"		damage/healing numbers near the health
{
"ControlName"	"CExLabel"	do not change
"fieldName"	"CDamageAccountValue"	do not change
"fgcolor"	"255 255 50 255"	RGBA color
"font"	"HudFontBiggerBold"	used font parameter
"xpos"	"c-302"	X axis from center of screen
"ypos"	"r110"	Y axis from right
"xpos_minmode"	"c-316"	X axis from center of screen (minmode)
"ypos_minmode"	"r75"	Y axis from right (minmode)
"zpos"	"2"	Z axis
"wide"	"100"	box wide (change when damage value looks "cropped"
"tall"	"26"	box height (change when damage value looks "cropped"
"visible"	"1"	visibility parameter
"enabled"	"1"	do not change
"labelText"	"%metal%"	do not change
"textAlignment"	"left"	do not change
}

To use alternative damage layouts, just rename liked one to huddamageaccount.res and move it to the idhud-master\resource\ui\ folder.

Yellow damage enabled by default
Bold default damage numbers

How to change Medic UI layout

Used files:

idhud-master\resource\ui\hudmediccharge.res

idhud-master\scripts\hudanimations_tf.txt

If you open idhud-master\resource\ui\hudmediccharge.res, you can see the next text in the beginning:

//	Uncomment (remove "//") the line below to enable default medic layout (without any changes):
//	#base "../../advanced/resource/ui/hudmediccharge - default uber value.res"
	
//	Uncomment the line below to enable small ubercharge value under the crosshair:
	#base "../../advanced/resource/ui/hudmediccharge - small uber value.res"
	
//	Uncomment the line below to enable large ubercharge value:
//	#base "../../advanced/resource/ui/hudmediccharge - large uber value.res"
	
//	Uncomment the line below to enable both:
//	#base "../../advanced/resource/ui/hudmediccharge - combined uber value.res"
	
	#base "../../basefiles/resource/ui/hudmediccharge.res"
...

Now, depending on what kind of Medic UI you want to use, you just need to uncomment (remove "//") the appropriate line, then save file. It's simple!

The next step — open the idhud-master\scripts\hudanimations_tf.txt file and uncomment the appropriate line to activate the custom color (green, you can see it on screenshots below). This step can be skipped, then HUD will use standard colors for Medic Ubercharge bar and Ubervalue.

Small uber value
Combined uber layout

How to enable Server Control Panel

Used files:

idhud-master\resource\ui\mainmenuoverride.res

idhud-master\cfg\servercontrols.cfg

If you want to enable Server control panel, just open the idhud-master\resource\ui\mainmenuoverride.res file and uncomment (remove "//" symbols) line #2. Don't forget to set-up the idhud-master\cfg\servercontrols.cfg file, otherwise, the control panel will not work.
