Well I downloaded Sprite wiz--But, It is not what I expected at all,
I still don't know how going about the process of changing the hud,
Or making a new hud, what size is it, is there animated frames--e.t.c.
plus the layout of the hud is very important, soo... I need help..

SpriteWizard lets you create your own sprites. Since HL uses sprites for it's HUD, it's an important thing for changing the HUD.

But indeed, for real changes beyond the sprites (colors, positions), you need to code. With a little experience you'll be able to find it out yourself.

Yes I think some of it is in the color.ls, which can be opened with paintbrush(dont think its for the hud though.)

Anyway Sprite Wizard Isn't what I thought, How am I supposed to edit the hud with it all it does is add frames anyways I gotto go, help please.

Sight...

The HUD is coded. The color of the HUD sprites is defined in the code, and so are the positions of the HUD sprites on the screen. The sprites that the HUD uses are in the pak file but you can replace these with your own sprites so the HUD displays well, other sprites.

That's not so hard to understand, non? Maybe you should do some research on what sprites are used and so?

That's not everything but well, enough for those that don't want to code. It covers adjustments of the HUD sprites pretty wel indeed.

Yep, I dont think I'd like to spnd all that extra time to code, just to change the color, but it just might happen--lol.

With a little experience in C++ and a habit of searching one can come pretty far... :)

So, if it ever happens you get into programming, I think it's worth checking it out.

I believe It already has become,

I now know how to change RGB values to Hex, but I can't
find the Hex code for the hud in any of the files- I thought it
would be in the hud.txt but its not, so where the he11 is it?

Where is the file that needs to be coded?

It's inside the code... not a .txt file.

Ehm, ah, here it is:
In the client dll source, go to hud.h and look for #define RGB_YELLOWISH 0x00FFA000 //255,160,0

That's the color of the hud. You can create your own definition and change the references to RGB_YELLOWISH in hud.cpp, or you can just modify the hexadecimal code in definition of RGB_YELLOWISH.

What do you open the client.dll With--Its all encrypted if I was to open it in a normal texteditor like word pad.

Sight...

You can't open a dll. You're gonna have to get the sourcecode of it. It's in the HL SDK. The code can be writted and modified even in notepad but in order to compile you'll need a C/C++ compiler. I get the impression you're not really known with programming... am I right here?
Posted 20 years ago2004-06-04 11:26:05 UTC Post #30291
Ohh yeah, definetly. Im just a noob to coding.
Is that a big program? Is it complicated, You seem to
be the opposite of what I am--You seem to know to
much about coding...lol..

I definitely don't know too much about coding/programming. Although I do know somewhat. Enough to play a little with the HL code.

Anyway, there's not one program that can compile, there's a whole load of C/C++ compilers. I use Microsoft Visual.NET, a very handy programming environment with compiler and loads of other options.

As for free compilers, I remember Bloodshed Dev:
