I considered asking for 3840x1024 but didn't want to nag. Thanks! Hopefully Valve wont screw us over with an update.

2 more common aspect ratios released.
vpk addons for...
3072x768
3840x1024
These are untested but should work same as the previous 2 for tri-wide-screen.
If users can provide feedback that would be appreciated.
Cheers
You forgot to put hudlayout.res in its scripts folder for the 3840x1024 version. So here is that fix: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7WVIYX6O
Thanks Delphium for your hard work! :bowdown

Tested 3840x1024- working. Will try 3072 next.
Delph, tell me what you think of my updates for the addoninfo:
Basically I just cleaned it up a little so it's less redundant & nicer looking in-game. Addontitle is simpler, both our names are visible, and switched out the ampersand since the game apparently doesn't like it. Here's how it will look (with snazzy WSGF logo...pending Ibrin's approval) :)
And yes, I've already added the missing "i" in Multi-Mon. ;)

Ohh, I like that :)
+1 to the image too :D
Wonder what formats are supported, I am just thinking of a .png with transparency to make it look even sweeter :D
I beleive Ibrin should be cool with it (will get confirmation today), as the other day (saturday I think) we where discussing about potentially porting the intructions over along with the list of mods for l4d2 into a wsgf wiki page perhaps.

Got the thumbs up for the logo. I did try a PNG but the engine just fills in the transparency with black anyway.
Ibrin requested a little more detail in the description. Here's the latest addoninfo:
Looking good I think:
Or even better!

Nice work :)
Will update mine today, any chance you could throw me your image used so as I can update the other packs to the same? :D
I shall try take a look at setting up a wiki later this afternoon.
EDIT: nm found an image.
GA: I propose we add version number to end of filename so as to make it easyer to manage and identify between future versions.
Latest .vpk mods here...
3072x768
3840x1024
5040x1050
5760x1080
Decided to move onto v1.01, description & info updated, WSGF icon added.

Thanks, guys. I edited your .vpk file to make a custom one for my 5296x1050 bezel compensated resolution.
If others are looking to make a custom .vpk addon:
1) you need to extract one of Delph's .vpk files to a folder using GCFScape
2) replace the .res files with custom ones created by Delph's FOV Calc
3) and then drag and drop the folder with all the files onto vpk.exe (located in the left 4 deadbin folder). This will create your own custom .vpk file, which you can put into the addons folder.
If you really want it to be slick, you could update the addoninfo.txt file with your custom resolution, before turning it into a .vpk.

Cheers Timobkg, funny enough, around lunch time today I have nearly finished creating a L4D2 HUD Wiki, complete with instructions. ;)
Feel free to cast your eyes on this...
/wiki/L4D2_Centered_HUD
I plan also to add a tf2 hud wiki and alien swarm also as each are very similar but have slight different tweaks to make the modifications work. :D
EDIT:
PS. I would like to also thank GeneralAdmission for his help with this!
:cheers

Ive just this moment completed a game with the .vpk mod working.
Make sure you are not using an offcial dedicated server, use 3rd party or local servers.

Guys are you sure bezel compensation is working on this app? I've created a custom mod for my resolution (6048x1080) and some elements are hidden behind bezels. If I change in game resolution to 5760x1080 it looks perfect.
