Quake 4 style custom HUD for QuakeLive Author: EmSixTeen Contact: #quakelive@quakenet Last edit: 29.04.2011 ===================================================================== This is intended to be as close a replica of the Quake 4 HUD as I can make. There are 6 versions of the HUD included: • q4hud-orig.menu is the actual HUD itself closest to Q4MAX. - cg_hudFiles "ui/q4hud-orig.cfg" • q4hud-slim.menu is the same layout as q4hud.menu, but the bars are slimmer and icons moved. - cg_hudFiles "ui/q4hud-slim.cfg" • q4hud-slimmest.menu is the slim bars, but thinner. - cg_hudFiles "ui/q4hud-slimmest.cfg" • q4hud-fat.menu is the slim bars, but thicker. - cg_hudFiles "ui/q4hud-fat.cfg" • q4hud-slim-numabove.menu is the slim bars, with ammo/health/armour values above. - cg_hudFiles "ui/q4hud-slim-numabove.cfg" • q4hud-slimmest-numabove.menu is the slimmest bars, with ammo/health/armour values above. - cg_hudFiles "ui/q4hud-slimmest-numabove.cfg" Plus, • q4hud-zoom.menu is as close a copy to the railgun zoom as I could make. - Automatically loaded with along with each HUD version, even if you don't use it. == 1. HOW DO I USE THE Q4 STYLE ZOOM? =============================== To use the zoom, put this in your config: seta ch_q4zoomxhair "0" alias "+v_q4zoom" "ch_q4zoomxhair 1" alias "-v_q4zoom" "ch_q4zoomxhair 0" Then use +v_q4zoom to bind it. For example: bind mouse2 "+v_q4zoom;+zoom" • If you don't like the 'zoom in' motion effect when zooming, use QL's cg_zoomScaling 0 to disable it. • If you don't like the dark gradient borders, open q4hud-zoom.menu and edit FADEBG_COLOUR's last number to 0. == 2. I DON'T LIKE THE MINI TIMER =================================== To hide the second small timer on the left, put this in your config: set ch_hideminitimer "1" == 3. CAN I HIDE THE WEAPON AMMO BOX WHEN GAUNTLET IS SELECTED? ===== Yes, but not by default. There is no way for the game to know whaich gun you have out, so you need to edit all of your weapon binds, and this is why it's not by default. I have included the functionality though (not in the Q4MAX variant). To do this, you need to add ch_hidewepbox 1 to the gauntlet bind, and ch_hidewepbox 0 to every other weapon bind, and put set ch_hidewepbox "0" in your config. So for example: set cg_hidewepbox "0" bind 1 "weapon 1 ; ch_hidewepbox 1" // 1 for gauntlet bind 3 "weapon 3 ; ch_hidewepbox 0" // 0 for every other gun bind q "weapon 5 ; ch_hidewepbox 0" bind e "weapon 7 ; ch_hidewepbox 0" .. etc == 4. THE DEMO RECORDING MESSAGE OVERLAPS! ========================== Sorry, but I can't move that. This happens in the Q4Max replica, fat bars, and numbers above variants of the HUD. There's no need to see the message, you can hide it with: cl_demoRecordMessage "0"
