L4D2 Center HUD fix

[thatdude90210]

Works for me at 5760x1200, although the items are squeezed together more than they are supposed to be. Still better than before so thanks for the work.

So you just dled the 5040 on the first post and replaced it?

Btw, is your crosshair smaller or am I just imagining it? I did the static crosshair mod, but its still pretty big...

[thatdude90210]

I used the one posted by Delphium a few posts up. You might be right about the crosshair. I only played briefly and it felt smaller.

[fatlazyhomer]

Still messed up for me. Weird.

Interesting results, what happens if you guys try set your monitors using 1920x1080 each, instead of 1920x1200?? Unfotunately mine wont do x1200 to be able to test.

Strange how you (thatdude90210) got the much smaller crosshair, as in mine it remained stupidly large :(

I have been looking and thinking into the hudlayout.res file these last few days not just for l4d2, but tf2 also, once I can confirm the values are correct then I am thinking I'd like to make a script to automaticly update the hudlayout.res file depending on the resolution/aspect ratio used to ease the pain of having to manually do it each time there is a major update.

Wow, the HUD is actually useful. Ran outa ammo today. :lol:


Im going to try again. I dont know why its not working for me. Do I needa restart my comp or something?

Well the hud fix works partialy. It's in the center alright but the main portrait(health bar) character your playing ain't showing but it's behind on of the other portrait's should be like this [Nick] [Coach] [Rochelle] [Ellis] atm for me atleast [Coach[Nick]] [Rochelle] [Ellis]. Hope this is something thats easily fixed.

Are you using it on 57x12?

[WaveZtream]

nope mate 5040x1050 :)

Here is a screenshot to explain it better :)

... and the hudfix you used was (what file/modded by whom)??

[WaveZtream]

The one from the first post if I am not mistaken.

Guess there is no way around my problem? :(

[Delphium]

Open file.. SteamSteamAppscommonleft 4 dead 2left4dead2scriptshudlayout.res
Search for CHudLocalPlayerDisplay and change the "xpos" value for it.

In my case for 48:9ratio it is "r1020"
For 48:10 try "r1000"

Does this work for original L4D as well, or is there a separate fix? I have both games, but I'd figger I'd play through #1 first. Looking at those damned default HUDs gives me a sore neck. Or is there a way to enlarge the HUD?

[WaveZtream]

Well after changing the values to whatever it ends up like this all the time :(

Your Pics look like you got good FOV on all 3 screen.s

When i play i get a bad zoom issue on outer 2 screens and when a zombie is far away on middle its right in my face on left or right monitors!

I think you should try to re-download and re-do the edit. I'm running 5040x1050 and did the edit prescribed and it's running perfect! Make sure you start with the 57x12 as your base.

That's "normal". The FOV in L4D is quite stretched; I'm guessing it's in the area of 175. That makes the sides look quite close because they're progressively more "fisheyed". I think Paddy had a post on it awhile ago, but I couldn't find it, sorry. :D

Yeah that worked downloading the http://empire.ispeeds.net/~delphi/wsgf/l4d2/left4dead2-5760x1080_27_12_2009.rar and then adding the "r1000" to the "xpos" Thx for the help :)
