Centered Hud for Counter-Strike: Source!

Post by **MobsterOO7** » 11 Jan 2008, 06:58

I've created a custom HudLayout.res file that centers the HUD for Counter-Strike: Source!

I've uploaded my HUD to HL2Files! You can get it here.

Heres some images and info from the zip file I uploaded:

Who its for: This mod file is intended for TripleHead2Go users running a 3840x1024 resolution only! I say again, unless you are running 3840x1024 resolution, this is NOT FOR YOU.

What it does: I have modified the default hud at TripleHead resolutions to stay on the center screen; where the default HUD had almost everything pushed to the sides. This file only changes the positions of certain HUD elements, these elements are:
Health stat
Armor stat
Ammo
Money
Death notices
Radar
Hostage rescue zone icon
Buy zone icon
Bomb possesion icon
C4 defusal kit icon
Voicechat notifications
Scenario specific icon (hostage and planted bomb icons)

What it doesn't do:
The chat doesn't move. I haven't yet figured out how to move that yet. When I do I'll update.
After your dead, the text that tells you which team your on and how much money you have stays were it is. I haven't figured out how to move this yet. When I do I'll update.

Bugs: Doesn't work well with the lower Triplehead resolutions. Sorry : (

That is excellent mate, thanks!
I hope I can use your file to make mods on some other source programs, I wonder if they are similar.....?
That is a real prob on lots of games in TH2Go esp Crysis, so once again Cheers :D

I still haven't gotten a reply from HL2Files, and its not up yet. But if anybody wants the file now and doesn't want to wait, I can send it to you over xfire, aim, or email.

The aim and email links on my posts are current. And my xfire is MobsterOO7.

@Mach1.9pants
The file that controls what I did here is essentially the same with some new and different HUD elements added to it depending on the Source game your talking about. I'm going to work on one for DOD tonight. We will see how well that goes.

My CSS TripleHead HUD is now hosted on HL2Files!

Here's the link for everybody interested.

This will also be added to the first post.

Presumably Punkbuster won't detect this as a cheat...? I have downloaded the file (thanks) but have not installed it yet, pending a response.

Thanks again!

PS: What did you eat from the paper plate?

CS:S doesnt use Punkbuster, But no you wont get VAC Banned because of this. Its just a simple interface modification.

Thanks! That's what I needed to know (forgot that steam moved away from PB and onto VAC years ago)

Hmm...from the readme in the zipped file:

"Installation: Place the HudLayout.res file in the scripts folder. The full path is demonstrated below.

C:Program FilesSteamsteamappsYOURUSERNAMEHEREcounter-strike sourcecstrikescripts

Credits: Valve for original file extracted with gcfscape and modified by me."

Alas there is no 'scripts' folder in my 'cstrike' folder....?

E:GAMINGGAME INSTALLSSTEAMsteamappsspybazcounter-strike sourcecstrike

Do I just create a 'scripts' folder within the 'cstrike' folder?

Thanks.

Nevermind. Answered my own question :oops:

Thanks for making this!

@ spybaz ...
From the Profile page ...

Signature:
Use this block of text to display your system specs. There is a 512 character limit. Please no images.

Please keep the text (colored text is fine) between sizes 9 and 11 (using BB Code). Run your specs horizontally (rather than vertically), and limit to four lines at normal forum width.

Your signature has too many lines ... please change it to meet the forum rules ...

Thank you .... 8)

Hey,

Any chance of a DoD:S version? :)

Good job, my friend!

Hey,

Any chance of a DoD:S version? :)

I was working on a DODS version but I got stalled and its not even half done.

The only things I have managed to move so far on the DODS hud are:

objective icons
minimap
*death notices
player status panel
voice chat icons

I'm stuck on the fire mode selection for the BAR and KAR 98. I'm stuck because when I try to move it into position. It disappears. Same goes for the heat meter for the MGs if I remember, I haven't tried in a while.

*Death notices are stretched horizontally, and I can't find a way to fix it.

Basically my DODS hud is tragically flawed and I don't see myself trying to fix it in the near future.

If anybody here has experience with modding source HUDS and wants to take a crack at it PM me and I'll send you what I've gotten done so far.

Any word on a TF2 version? It's probably the most popular after CS right now on Steam ;).

Post by **MobsterOO7** » 13 Feb 2008, 00:29

I haven't even tried doing a TF2 one yet. Maybe I'll give it a whirl this weekend.

Any chance you can update this for 5040x1050 resolution?

Post by **MobsterOO7** » 21 Aug 2008, 03:10

Would love to but I can't. I made this with basic trial and error, and I can't test it since I can't run that resolution.
