Customising the ETpro hud?

by sharky • 6 Mar 2007, 00:48 • Journals
I notice there a lots of options to change the hud in ETpro - normal 1 2 and custom as well as position the spawn timers etc.

Im interested to know how to make a custom hud so that i can make my etpro hud look exactly like my RTCW osp hud (or at least close). I can get it pretty close using my current settings but i would love to be able to move the compass to the middle and timers (round time, spawn times) to top left.

*edit* current settings
set b_althud "1"
set b_althudFlags "5"
set b_chatAlpha "0.5"
set b_chatFlags "1"
set b_drawclock "0"
set b_drawspeed "0"
set b_numPopups "-1"
set b_popupFadeTime "0"
set b_popupStayTime "2500
set b_popupTime "0"
set b_watermarkAlpha "0"
seta b_descriptiveTextScale "1"
set cg_drawFireteamOverlay "1"
set cg_drawReinforcementTime "1"
set cg_drawSmallPopupIcons "1"

Go into Enemy Territory and join a server. Open the options menu, click on ETPro, then HUD on the following option menu. From here you can change ALL of your HUD settings.

Just fanny around until you get your desired results. When finished, just rewrite your config.

I don't think you'll find the options there to get the round & spawn times in the upper left corner.

There is a certain option, can't remember which, but it lets you select 'Move round timer' and stuff like that... should be able to get it up there - if not close to it...

I have no idea, but I always thought that the popup time was slightly delayed (I'm using b_popuptime 100).

b_althud 3 shows compass more in middle of screen, nice when holding a needle maybe, but with smg I'd prefer the other hud back. Maybe add it to the weaponbind?

bind 6 "weaponbank 6;b_althud 3;cg_drawgun 1"
bind 3 "weaponbank 3;b_althud 2;cg_drawgun 0"
must bind evry weapon + extra

ok cheers ill have a play with that. But seems a bit extreme and ill be looking all over the place for it now. Maybe I'll just have to force myself to 'see' in ET.

that is surely the best =]
I dont think anybody uses althud 3

...lol? Mate surely this is a joke. The compass is in a stupid position blocking the screen now theres no ammo/weapon/timers. I think b_althud 3 is the customizable hud in the eptro hud gui. So it MUST be possible to make my own.

Whilst im on it how come ETpro never used the objective icons from rtcw (the little flags that tell u what has been blown up/built etc). OR does it have them hidden somewhere?

In general there are a few secrets that I have had to find just by trawling thru other ppls cfgs. (71 fps for the pistol ??? and dont get me started on the lame +shoot cl_maxpackets/rate shit i've seen in some...)

Ask some yermans for their crouch-packets script.

It makes you lag for a second, so it gives you more disadvantage than advantage.

lag > all

if you lag, you're unhitable so you win

No, if I lag I can't shoot xD

Yeah i see a lot of uk cunts with 30-50 ping playing with maxpackets 40 - although i read som other stuff here on xfire (madscientist?) that said that 40 maxpackets was infact the ebst settings to use :S.

I used 40 maxpackets once, and everyone said your unhittable bla bla.

sharky 7 Mar 2007, 21:08
i played a US rtcw server the other day and 40 maxpackets was fine. Everyone was hittable even with everyone on 100 ping. Maybe its ok for HPB but is some sort of exploit for LPB. I don't know enough to comment on this except that I was told some time ago by penn "100 maxpackets for UK servers and 60 maxpackets for EU". Seems fine to me but im no expert on the netcode.

*update*
Supposedly its a feature coming soon to etpro. /b_althud 3 then /edithud but its cheat protected. Just gonna have to wait I guess.

Really suprised that bani, a guy with rtcw roots, did not think to include the rtcw hud as one of the custom huds rather than these randomly placed custom huds :S - but at least they are better than the default with the guys head and xp power ups and such.

Code something your self if there's no options for it. Not exactly legit but hey..

SuperHUD FTW + cg_drawping (like in q3) - that is what etpro needs!
