Can anyone provide me with a centered hud for 6048x1200? I can't seem to figure out how to do this manually.

1. Download this (link removed)
2. Goto http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/fovcalc.php and enter in your monitor config.
3. Extract the .res files found inside the TF2_HUD_BASE_PACK linked above and upload each of these files to the Source Engine HUD editor.
4. For each .res file uploaded, select the correct profile from the menu.
5. Submit the .res file for editing.
6. Download the fixed .res file and place within your TF2 folder.

Example:
Steamsteamappsteam fortress 2tfscripts
Steamsteamappsteam fortress 2tfresourceui

Hey!

First, I would like to thank you for the HUD-files, nice work.
But, I have a problem.

I'm using the TF2_HUD_5760x1080_48-9.RTM0006.13_10_2010.rar one.
I've recently become premium member, and you get a "Distance to nearest living enemy"-info.
Unfortunely, it's way to the left, on the left monitor. I haven't tried the FOVCALC, maybe it's included there?

Here's a screenshot of it:

Looks like this is a custom server and announcement, I am not sure what item that would fall under and I have no way of testing as I dont have a premium account, although I do play on saigns.de and nightteam.com.

This item is not included in the fovcalc tool unfortunately as I do not know what the name of this element so I have not been able to add it to the profiles.

I suspect that the element is not in the main hudlayout.res file and instead will likely be 1 of the many resource/ui/ .res files.
Finding out what file and then which element inside of each file that needs to be adjusted is a bit of searching with a lot of trial and error, which takes a bit of time.

I dont mind taking some time to investigate but I do not have any way of testing it as I am not really willing to pay for a premium account for the ammount I actually get to play TF2 these days which is a couple of hours a fortnight.

I will search the files for a few likely elements but it will be a few days from now as I am extremely busy with other things sadly.

Thanks so much for a lengthy reply.

Thanks for looking into it.
Btw, you can test it yourself, for a short while. Because they have so you can try the premium features for 15min each day. All you have to do is type premium. Atleast on the server I mostly play, and tried, which is the "2fort only" one.

new here, just wondering about the charge bar of certain items, seems to appear off to the far right still. i did all the stuff mentioned in this thread, still the same.

i've noticed though that it seems there is no line for those particular items? is there some site i can check the proper name of all the items?

Which items do you mean?
I have accounted for the charge bars in the packs and the editing tool.

As you can see form these screenshots they have been moved.

i mainly use minimal mode..

so it's all the cloaking watches, all of the soldiers trumpet/etc buffs, all of the sandwiches, the sandman, and the jarate.

i mainly use minimal mode.

Ahhh, mini mode, unfortunately mini mode is not currently supported by the hud editor, sorry.
It is on the list of things to do however!

If you really need mini mode, I would take the hud editor fixed .res files you have made, and use something like "winmerge" to compare them to the orignals in the base pack.
Any changes to the fixed files will be highlighted, you can then try going through and find each items mini mode xpos values and increment them by whatever value the hud calc gives you for example: 853 for a 5760x1080 res.

Good luck!
