Really Bizarre HUD Problem

**Watsyurdeal?** · 08-19-11, 01:21 AM

Ok so long story short, over the past few months I've been having issues with the default mini hud in TF2. Mainly issues with the hud text and alignment, see for yourself.

Spy + the Diamondback
Scout using Bonk, Milk, and Crit a Cola
Soldier with Mangler
Demo with Stickies and Eyelander
Sniper with Jarate and Bazaar Bargain, the ONLY one that works right
Sniper with Bargain, and NO Jarate

So yea, I don't know wtf is going on, you'd think it'd be something with my hud res files, but the ONLY I modified was the HudDamageAccount.res. This is how it looks as of now

"Resource/UI/HudDamageAccount.res"
{"CDamageAccountPanel"
{
"fieldName" "CDamageAccountPanel"
"PositiveColor" "255 255 0"
"NegativeColor" "0 255 255 255"
"delta_lifetime" "1.5"
"delta_item_font" "HudFontSmall"
"delta_item_font_big" "HudFontMedium"
}
}

So, what's going on here? Any ideas?

If you remove HudDamageAccount, does it work? And what's your resolution?

No, I did a fresh install last night and nothing changed.

1980 x 1080

I'm pretty sure it's a bug with the mini HUD. I just tested it, and my scout stuff is cut off the same way as in your screenshot.

I also have 1920x1080, and I use the mini HUD with no additional modifications.

Have you posted on the TF2 boards to see if anyone else (preferably with the same resolution) is having the same problem?

Yea but it got flooded with people bitching about the new update, what a surprise -__-

What I ended up doing was copying the HUDItemAccunt.res files from the frankenhud, and added them to my resource/ui folder.

I have got a similar issue with the mini hud, but my res is only 1680x1080. I just ignore it for now. I dont have the problems with the demo stuff I dont think, or snipers. If i notice anything that might help I'll let you know.
