I've made my HUD all ok except for the team and flag status elements which are refusing to work as I intend. The red/blue team status switch sides depending which team I'm on. Hard to explain and I don't have the files on Han atm to paste the code here.None of the prebundled huds seem to have an example of what I want and I can't find the default HUD in the e+ pk3 files.
All I need is the way these elements are displayed on the default HUD. I can adjust it from that. Can anyone post how it should be here?
To clarify the bit I'm talking about, it's the bit that displays the red and blue teams score, the head model image above iit with the number of alive team members and this bit swaps for flags when game type is 4.Also, no idea why this happens, got it working shortly before I fucked with it but I can't always get it to display doom_red.tga. If I change that to doom_blue it works :/The red tga does exist in pak0 and I had it working at some point last night. But I tried so many different combinations fiuckin with this thing for hours and give up for now. If anyone can post an example it would be appreciated. I'll supply further info later if needed

edit. maybe i was a bit too fucked last night, looks like its mostly working today. i didnt touch anything.

still have one issue though, the team scores and team count numbers switch sides. i need to know how to make them stay where they are. any ideas?

Re: HUD element help needed

If you saw, they switch sides because you switched sides.

Its not Team Score Red and Team Score Blue but rather your Own Team score: TeamCount_OWN the Enemy team score : TeamCount_NME

Everything related to team is like that, its not red and blue but "Own" and "Enemy"
If you suggest to be with red and blue that requires a new implementation which could be done in the future if agreed upon.

Re: HUD element help needed

thanks, i understand its own and enemy. bit of a mess to get my mind around how that would react though.
are you saying its not possible to make a custom hud that does the same job that the default one does?
own team score can be on the left or right (red or blue). and the frame around that box will adjust.

custom one has 1 setting for own and 1 for team. when you change team, the numbers will also swap.
makes sense i guess, but fucks up the use of this elelment

see here:
first half=custom
second= default

Re: HUD element help needed

Thanks, I'll take a look later but don't have a lot of home considering this is probably tailored, But who knows. Worth a try:)
If anyone's willing to try and do it, would be appreciated.I'll post the HUD when it's sorted.

managed to work it out. have the model head, fill area and flag statuses set to color t and e for team and enemy and rect in the place you want your side to be. and reference the icon_xp.tga thats in the 2.0 pk3 which is white. the color of team or enemy will overlay it.

Re: HUD element help needed

Good question
Don't know about pb, unfortunately it seems pure doesn't like it (images won't load).I know there's a cml.pk3 for his HUD which seems to auto download itself after I deleted it. Don't remember if that came with the e+ update whether it's just on the servers I connect to.
I can post it when it's done, and if you want to use it with pure enabled, it's up to the server admin to allow and uplod it.What's the community's opinion on this? Should there be a process (someone high enough to validate its safe or something)

Re: HUD element help needed

I don't know about punkbuster, but I'm pretty sure pure will kick you with extra *pk3 file, if there is just that change for graphic of HUD I don't see any hazard to implement it on servers, but it's still owners decision to allow it. Anyway none of HUD cfg edits will make you suspected as long as it is using known *pk3 files to make it working.

And even I walk through the darkest valley of the shadow of death I will be not afraid because I am the worst motherfucker in this place.
