Weird things happening to Half-Life 1 HUD Created 11 months ago2023-12-09 18:43:06 UTC by closed

So Im making a mod, I haven't even edited anything but maps and models yet and im having this really, really weird thing with the hud,
When i do Impulse 101 or pickup a weapon im having this weird issue where either it crashes (most common) or it does this along with a combination of
the HUD disapearing completely, the HUD changing to a solid full-screen color, or HUD elements changing to other .SPR files, this is also very weird since
ive modded this game alot of times before and this has never happened until now, its a really weird glitch. You can just copy paste images directly into your thread. You don't need to upload to the wiki - Urby

The 25th Anniversary update for Half-Life messed with a few mods and there are newer hud sprites and layouts for higher resolutions. Does your base game work correctly? Does your mod have a sprites directory copied from the old valve directory (which you don't need if you're not modding the HUD by the way)

yeah, the base game does work correctly

Does your mod have a sprites directory? Was it copied from valve before the update? If so then it's out of date and trying to reference sprites incorrectly. Replace or simply delete it.

yep i fixed it, the HUD .txt files are now gone in my mod's sprite directory

Great!

FYI, if your mod isn't using custom sprites, you don't need to include them in your directory at all. No need to bloat the download file when it's done.
