Half-Life 2 Customizable HUD
After 3 months of hard work, here it is.
This addon is a Lua replica of the default Heads Up Display, restoring some missing features from Half-Life 2 and adding a deep customization layer to it.
Comes pre-packed with numerous presets, some inspired by well known mods such as SMOD, 1187, Black Mesa and Entropy Zero 2.
Customize it to your liking
Use the extensive customization menu to tweak the HUD to your liking, changing things such as:
- Colours and fonts
- Element parameters
- Animation sequences
- Weapon, item and ammunition icons
Restoring missing features!
Long forgotten features from Half-Life 2’s HUD make a return!
F.A.Q
- Is this client side?
Unless the server you’re playing on has this addon installed or sv_allowcslua enabled you won’t be able to use it. This happens with any addon. - Where do I find the options?
Spawn menu (Q by default) -> Options -> DyaMetR -> Half-Life 2 HUD - How can I customize my HUD?
Spawn menu (Q by default) -> Options -> DyaMetR -> Half-Life 2 HUD -> Edit current scheme - How can I enable or disable an element?
- Go to the menu mentioned in the previous question.
- Go to the HudLayout tab.
- Find the element you want to toggle.
- Toggle the visible parameter.
- Can I use my preset on vanilla Half-Life 2?
I’m sorry, but this addon does not export presets for vanilla Half-Life 2. - How can I keep the suit battery indicator from disappearing?
You have to esit the SuitPowerZero animation where the Alpha variable is being set to 0. Instead of 0, put the transparency value you want. - Hey! The weapon selector on the preview does not reflect the real deal!
That’s because it only previews colours and fonts used, not its parameters. - Can there be the HUD from <insert mod name here>?
If the mod makes use of the Half-Life 2 HUD only changing resource files then you may have a shot at it. Otherwise it’s going to be difficult. - Where can I find more fonts?
There are numerous font download websites on the internet. After finding one you can search for new fonts to use. - Where do I install new fonts?
You can either install them on your OS or put them in your Garry’s Mod installation.
Go to your Garry’s Mod folder -> resource -> fonts -> <put fonts here> - Will you make the HUD from the 2002 leak?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1958535290 - Does it have a preset resembling the 2003 leak HUD?
Yes. It’s called ‘Leak’ in game.
