loadhud

used to load a custom hud from a .hud file contained in a pk3 file. Also able to "/loadhud ?" to show a list of available huds, :"/loadhud blank" to load a blank hud, or "/loadhud" to load the default ET hud. When loading a hud, the default ET is loaded first, :then the custom HUD overwrites any values specified. So if a HUD element isn't specifically disabled in a custom HUD, it will be in ET :default position.

edithud

Used to edit the hud in realtime. Can also be used to script a hud so that server admins don't have to package .hud files into pk3

format: /edithud elementName [value1] [value2] . . . . [valueX].

Current elementNames and (values) are as follows:

• ammocount (x, y, scale)
• chargebar (x, y, width)
• compass (x, y, size)
• upperright (y)
• fireteam (x, y, width)
• flagcov (x, y)
• head (x, y, width, height)
• healthbar (x, y, width)
• healthtext (x, y, scale)
• lagometer (x, y)
• overheat (x, y, width, height)
• skillbox1 (x, y, size)
• skillbox2 (x, y, size)
• skillbox3 (x, y, size)
• skillpic1 (x, y, size)
• skillpic2 (x, y, size)
• skillpic3 (x, y, size)
• skilltext1 (x, y, scale)
• skilltext2 (x, y, scale)
• skilltext3 (x, y, scale)
• staminabar (x, y, width)
• weaponcard (x, y, size)
• xptext (x, y, scale)
• cpmtext (x, y, scale)
• chattext (x, y, scale)
• votefttext (x, y)
• livesleft (x, y)

All items except skilltextX are part of the original ET hud. skillTextX is a textual representation of the xp levels, i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, :4. The skill[box,pic,text] elements correspond as follows, 1 = class specific skills, 2 = battle sense, 3 = light weapons.

Default scale values, where used, is 25 in the default ET hud.

upperright represents the spawn counter/game timer, clock, FPS normally displayed on the right side of the screen.

(x,y) are based on a 640 x 480 scale, regardless of the actual screen resolution that ET is running. Therefore (0,0) is upper left, ::(640,480) is lower right and (320, 240) is crosshairs.

To disable an element entirely, set the first value to -1. Currently votefttext CANNOT be disabled.
