Legacy Huds
From Q4MAX
Contents |
Introduction
Because the .gui files are not subject to the "pure" validation it is possible to create a custom hud and use it online. Which hud you use is selected using the hud_style cvar. Thanks to this feature, some players have created their own custom hud files, and have made these public.
The arrival of the SuperHud system in Q4Max 0.80 makes .gui huds unnecessary. Nonetheless, this is the old list of custom huds, "as is" : we won't check if the links are still valid, or for which old version of Q4Max they work.
For information on creating custom guis, we recommend examining the many gui files (including those shipped with q4max), and reading the information available at both iddevnet, and modwiki.
Custom Huds
SOBPak14
- Author
- Essobie
- Notes
- New file organization. All files accessed via #includes in sobpak14.gui. Don't like a feature? Remark it out! Or better yet, replace it with your own creation! Brand new weapon inventory system!
- Icons for when you have the weapon, and colored boxes for when the weapon is selected. No "no ammo" symbol until the issues with it get resolved (if ever). Health on the left, armor on the right. Both shrink toward the middle.
- "Heads Up" ammo counter showing you how much ammo is in the weapon you are holding; color coded for easy recognition.
- Quake 2 style "negative death" counter now turns red and flashes when you die so you know just how dead you really are!
- Bleeding health and armor values flash from white to cyan to white to let you know you won't stay healthy forever.
- "Rail Shield" bar above health and armor bars tells you how many Railgun shots you can take without dying (3+ Rails = Blue, 2=Green, 1=White, <1=Red) (thanks to XelNaga for doing the scripted comparisons!)

SOBpak15
- Author
- Essobie
- Notes
- As per SOBpak14, plus:
- Extreme minimalist layout, especially if you have ui_showGun set to 1 (show weapon model). Health and Armor are only on top of the gun model, so no view area is obstructed.
- New shrinking health and armor bars that are crisp colors that get slowly replaced with translucent black as you take damage.
- Tiny "Rail Threat" system to show you how many rails you can take. No need to know what color is what... just look how many green dots are between your health and armor! No dots? Yer in trouble!
- Tiny Marine font ammo count and inventory system tucked away on the bottom right.
- Squashed Powerup display in the top right.
- Team Overlay placed low, low, low and to the left.
- Obligatory Clip Ammo just below the crosshair, colored to match weapon choice. Look, if you don't like this you are broken. But even then, it's easy enough to remove from the pk4!

bty HUD v75
- Author
- XelNaga
- Notes
- Weapon bars: Centered in the middle of the screen, above the health/armor. If you have the weapon + amunition, it shows the background color at the corresponding place + the number of bullets on top of that. If you have the weapon, and no ammunition, it only shows the background color at that place. And if you don't have the weapon, a slight shade covers the place.
- Health/Armor bars: Centered at the bottom of the screen. The bars grow from 0-100 and stay the same size from 100-200. Both go from the middle to the outside, health left, armor right. Health/armor amount are displayed on top of the bars in white and aligned to the middle of the screen. Coloured to how many rails you can survive.
- Plus: The ammo amount of the current weapon is displayed right under the crosshair in the color of the weapon.
