About future updates
Unfortunately as many of you could see throughout the years I have been unable to deliver on all of the updates I wanted to make as I’ve been getting less time to dedicate to GMod. At this point a complete overhaul is overdue and I would like to make it before dropping support completely. There’s no deadline though, and I don’t want to make any promises because I could potentially not deliver.
I will still try to support the addon in terms of bug fixes.
F.A.Q
- How can I add this to Half-Life 2?
You can’t. GMod and HL2 modding methods are different. - Are the watermarks in-game?
No. - How to access customization?
Q menu -> Utilities -> H0L-D4 -> Settings - I don’t like how this looks / behaves.
Look on the customization options if there’s a way to adjust it to your liking. - The HUD has an impact in performance, what can I do?
Tweak the Blur intensity slider on the Q menu to reduce blur quality and improve FPS. - Will this work when I join other servers?/Is it client-side?
Unless the server either has the HUD installed, or sv_allowcslua set to 1, it simply WON’T LOAD. - I changed my HUD layout and the changes didn’t save!
Either enable configuration auto saving or make sure to press either one of this buttons when changing an element’s configuration.
- What weapons are shown in the images?
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1627033455 - Can you make this for other Source games?
GMod modding is vastly different from other Source games’ modding. So I’m afraid I can’t. - HUD doesn’t work
It does. Make sure it downloaded properly. And if it did, make sure it’s enabled. If it is, and it still won’t show up, restart your game or the server. - Why I see missing textures everywhere? (a.k.a purple and black squares)
It has downloaded incorrectly. Reinstall the addon and restart your game. - Fonts showcased on the pictures?
Din Pro
Alte DIN 1451 Mittelschrift
Digital Dismay
Digital 7
Agency FB
Pricedown
Futura Light
Arboria-Light
- I tried the fonts showcased on the pictures but they don’t work.
These fonts aren’t bundled with the addon. - How can I force my settings to the whole server? or
How can I disable a certain element entirely? or
How can I add an element?
Head to the documentation[github.com], it’ll explain how to setup add-ons for H0L-D4 and also answer your questions about code-wise customization.Source code[github.com]Have fun!
