Old HUD

[k0jak]

Anyway to select the old hud from 2.5?

The new one has too much useless stuff for myself, and I can't concentrate on how much health and armour I have left, someone last night (I think franco) gave me a cvar or something to change ammo to just show the weapon you are using..that helped a lot but also want to remove the weapons above the health/armour part.

Basically is the old HUD still about or not?

I'd like to hear about this as well, the new one is distracting me. Just like the damage kick and motion blur (both of which I have turned off now).

You're welcome =P

You can turn off damage kick in the Player Setup tab.

The old HUD is not available anymore in 2.5.2. I initially planned on supporting it, but quickly realized (and got pointed out by others) that the sbar code would become an even bigger mess than what it used to be had I included support for the old one.

Anyway, you can make the new HUD resemble the old one to some extent, eg by:

- viewsize 110 to turn off the HUD background
- sbar_showcurrentammo 1
- sbar_hudselector 0/1 to swap health armor positions (iirc health used to be on the right, so 0)

No idea about the weapon icons however, I never realized they could really be distracting. (They aren't really for me...) Maybe just needs getting used to.

Okay, I made a quick cvar "sbar_showweaponicons" that toggles the weapon icons on/off.
Here is how close to the old you can make it for now:

Hopefully gets into the hotfix :]

Cheers FrutieX I think the biggest problem is the fact that as you stated the health and armour have been swapped round, this also coursed me some problems..hopefully once I put these changes in place I will be able to concentrate once again!!!
