Ok, I tweaked a few more things, the "press f5 for snapshot" and "you where killed by" objects moved to center screen.

If you wish to run a different aspect ratio or resolution with bezel correction, then take this base pack and run each of the .res files inside though my calc and hud editor.
This pack contains the basic unmodded .res files that are required, and only takes say 5mins at most to get all .res files configured to your display setup.

Alternatively, feel free to use one of the pre made packs below, these are created using the base pack + hud editor. :)

The other 2 common aspect ratio's to come after lunch :)
EDIT: - a long lunch later :P

Nice! It'll be great to only have the side monitors for peripheral vision and not constantly have to look around in case you missed something that popped up :rockout

Indded, that is the aim :D
Finding out which files then values it is that need editing is quite time consuming, I spent all of yesterday day (during quiet periods of work) and evening working out the latest tweaks.

There is still a couple of objects that would be nice to get moved, such as the "continue" button on the MOTD page, and possibly a few other menu items like "loading" when connecting to server, mostly minnor things, but other than that I think I have mostly got everything else centered. :D

I have been unable to test tournament mode however as my clan do not have a server at present after letting it go due to finances not so long ago.

I provided the base pack this time so as to make it easier for those of folks that wish to make custom packs to fit bezel compensation. Personaly I avoid using bezel compensation when playing TF2, due to the fact that I want to see every pixel thats going on, and avoid being head shot by a sniper hiding behind a bezel that I did not spot hehe.

Uh oh, something happened. I can't hear my character's voice when I make him say something now and I can't see the text I type after I press Enter.

Hi there,

first, let me thank you for the HUD files, really great work! I have two question regarding them:

[list]
[*] First, the in-game menus (voicemenu for example, where you can call for MEDIC!, say Go!Go!Go! etc.), are still on the left screen. I wasn't able to find the setting for them. Does anyone know where to look?[/*:m]
[*] Second, the "Continue" Button in the server info screen (i.e. the first screen that comes up after connecting to a server, before the map screen) is still on the far right. Also here, I was not able to find a setting.[/*:m][/list:u]

Finally, the files above (at least the 5040 one) have the wrong values for x_minmode in several places. The normal x ones are fine.

Thanks,

Pyl

Has anyone else been having issues with the latest TF2 updates? Or is this in the same boat as L4D2? I can't seem to get the HUD to work (almost at all) when modifying files.

Ive been looking into these, i spent a long time searching for the continue button on server info, as i managed to move the others.
However you can simply hit enter/return when on said page to skip to the next one.

Finally, the files above (at least the 5040 one) have the wrong values for x_minmode in several places. The normal x ones are fine.

Mini mode is not supported, at least not yet.

Works fine for me. Whats your surround resolution, the pack you are using and where have you installed them to?

Error on my end. I think it was because there was a TF2 update while i was editing the files, so when i placed the edited files in the directory the hud was smashed into a small square in the corner of my left monitor. Re-edited the files and same thing again. After re-extracting and re-editing the files all is well.

As a side note, if you are cannibalizing the BaseChat.res file from L4D2, the following lines need to be deleted or you will get a black bar with the text 'Label' at the top of the text box.



Big Thanks for the support Delphium. :rockout

Fixed "Killed by x" and the special item info.



To make your own custom HUD for bezel compensated resolutions use this base pack that contains the files you need to get started when using the HUD Editor.

Alternatively I have updated the pre made packs below.

I really appreciate what Delphium has started, but his modifications don't take account for minimum

hud and many of the elements that i'd like changed, so here is my version:
http://www.mediafire.com/?l6y2g4475uu6cs5
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PO234PD8

-intro CONTINUE button moved to center screen (TextWindow.res)
-moved back/continue buttons closer together on next screen
-optimized classes hud elements for 5760x1200 resolution with minimum hud
-moved chat window to the bottom right of left screen
-expanded chat window height
-moved spy sapping/engineer elements to top right of left screen
-moved current achievement progress to top left of left screen
-modified kill history (HudDeathNotice) and moved it to top left of right screen


installation instructions:
extract to
SteamsteamappsYOURACCOUNTteam fortress 2tf
1. make sure resource and script folders get extracted here.
2. run tf2, go to options>keyboard advanced, check quick weapon switch
3. go to options multiplayer advanced and enable minimum hud

(steps 2 and 3 are not required, but i optimized the hud for that)

Feel free to add me on steam to play some TF2:

still to do, unsure of location:
move talking ( ! ) bubble
move the voice commands (Z,X,C keys by default)
