I havent played as Infected yet so didnt realise the HUD needed more editing.. :shock:

This sets pretty much everything you need to the center screen, unfortunately I could not figure out how to move kill notices (but those aren't too important anyway).

Paddy, any chance you could update your OP with this link, I would hate for people to look through the entire thread for find the HUD.

If you want to have it updated, just ask someone with ftp access and they will help you update it

Downtown, hats off to you and your pro editing skills (using "/" notes to document your changes throughout, so handy)!

I used "Compare It" (http://www.pcdownloadworld.com/prgdb/compare-it.htm) to show the differences between the original files and your version, adding 768 to the "xpos" entries where appropriate to give 5040x1050 correct HUD for Vs and COOP modes as well as any and all other changes you suggested in the files.

I played a quick round of Infected and Survivors and it looked correct in both.

And kept all your naming conventions etc.

I'm very glad to hear that! Looks like my hypothesis was right about adding 600 for 3840 users and 768 for 5040 users.

So from now on the hardest part about fixing the HUD for any Source game will be figuring out which values to change, not what the value should be changed to.

thanks, the 5040x1050 HUD fix files
work for 4320x900 also.


now if only if there's a way to make the crosshair alot smaller .. ..

does Steam let you play online with this?

Yep!

UI still works with new update, just recopy the files.

EDIT: Whoops, they moved some stuff around and added a panel, old UI does not work completely.

Sweet HUD, can't wait to try it in multiplayer, even if there are a couple of small problems...

Crap, anything important?

They added a zombie party panel to bottom left and moved the recharge meter to above the health meter. I already fixed my HUD, but I figured you would want to post a new version for this update.

3840x1024 HUD updated for this week's L4D patch (1.0.0.8 server version)

Please let me know if it works, my TH2GO is not functioning right now since one of my monitors died :(.

If you got a working 5040 HUD with Downtown's previous fixes, by all means share it! I dont have some sort of claim to 5040 fixes! :p

Everything should be working. 5040x1050.

My 3840x1024 HUD update on the previous page works just fine btw, tested it on my TripleHead2Go setup once I got my spare monitor up and running.

Hi folks

I have a TH2GO setup and run it at 3840x1024 - are these updates supposed to send the HUD to the centre screen? The game runs great but the HUD is off to the left and right screens.

I dropped the files into my L4D folder, is that the right thing to do?

Yes and yes. Make a backup just to be sure.

There are actually 2 levels of the L4D folder, here is where you should be extracting it (minus the x86 if you are on a 32bit OS):

OK Cheers guys

Will double check tonight.
