Trying to edit the HUD

[swiss_cheese9797]

Hi, I'm trying to edit the hl2 hud images, but i cant find hl2 hud textures. I see in materials/sprites they have hl1 HUD images, but not hl2 Hud textures. I'm lookin in source materials and I dont have Half-Life Source so that can't be the issue. Can anyone clue me in? Thanks.

which sdont you link it to your own texture why do u need the hl2 texture? why dont u look in the code where it references to the textures. tjheres loads of tutorials on this man why are you asking here.

If you're talking about the weapon pictures in the HUD, they're stored in a font file (.ttf) rather than a material, to make it easy to scale them to any size.

Im posting here because I cant find any tutorials for this on the net. and I need to see the hl2 texture so i know where to put things in the textures, also i dont code so i cant see where they put em.

I just tried to search again, couldnt find any hud tutorials. no hud topics here either. if there are loads of tutorials on this, would you mind posting a few? thanks.

dude I did, theres nothing there about the hud except how to add an element in the code, and thats not what I'm looking for. also i just looked at the hud ingame, its definately raster graphics and putting rasters in a .ttf wouldnt help scaling at all, it would be easier just to make a texture. the .ttf files are actually fonts for just numbers.
