Blasphemy!
10/10

Actually, the Volt hud have 8 Kind of styles for all the people, and new cool options, what i like more is the Main servers list, that when you click on a server it changes the background to the map image, oh and i like that you can choose between the background images, so you can have a cool image every day/week/play/etc and em all are so cool.

HUDs are nice, but the menus are just a slightly modified copy of Kangounator's CHK menus. (I like the demo browser though, that's original)

HUDs are nice, but the menus are just a slightly modified copy of Kangounator's CHK menus. umm no i used oticz and dnc for my templates and trust me my menus are nothing alike tho they may have some similarites they behave in diff. ways.(I like the demo browser though, that's original)thanks.

menus that contain aspects of dnc are listed below.
.Joinserver
.Optionsmain
.serverinfo direct copy from with abit of mod.
screenshot from dnc

comparison screenshots

Seeing as we both used dnc menus as templates i dont see how i could have coppied CHk.
anyways i listed credits in my menu coding, and dnc was noted there kbyethx.

You might have autogen.cfg spam, i would delete all your autogens, then let trem make a new one and then run install command for hud.

Strange. When I installed the hud I only got the ingame chat menus but not all the other stuff...
Title: Re: Volt Hud
Post by: Volt on December 02, 2008, 01:08:40 pm
you should try mousing over in screenshotmenu it makes images fullscreen, and bissing are any errors appearing in console after you install the hud?, if so please printscreen and send.

also your o.s and configurations might help, thanks.
I'd love to help you get it fixed :D
Title: [Fixed] Re: Volt Hud
Post by: Bissig on December 02, 2008, 10:34:33 pm
That is exactly the problem:

The only thing I see is the ingame chat menu. All the other stuff is still standard trem hud.

Fixed:

It will work after you disconnect from a server. Yet, it still lags me like hell at the start of maps and it also lags me when I get into certain areas of a map. This has never happened with the default hud. (At map start fps is at about 0-4fps and ping skyrockets. After about 10-20 seconds it gets better, until it returns to normal. It also lags when I die)

Title: Re: Volt Hud
Post by: Xenina on December 16, 2008, 07:55:56 am
Hey Volt, I'm setting up my new laptop and I've installed your 2.0 on it. I really enjoyed the last version, so I thought I'd try it. Like many other people the darknight is my favorite hud style. Anyway, I'd like to know where I can find/edit any of the auto say binds in your new hud. I love the commands and the way you created it, but I'd really like to be able and change the colors and/or wording in the speaking binds. Maybe customize a bit.

By the way I did this last installation on my new laptop and it's using vista and I've had no problems The only thing I've had to do is the widescreen settings to get it to work on this really wide screen:
/r_mode -1
/r_customwidth 1366
/r_customheight 768

/quit

Note: I've created an installation/GUID guide here for anyone that wants help with that:
http://xenina.blogspot.com/2008/12/tremulous-installation-guide-and-qkey_10.html

Ok. Thanks so much!

~ Xenina[EBSF]

edit: Ok, I just realized that when I binded my 0 key after I set up your hud, I messed up royally, as now the 0 key won't work for any of the preset orders. Instead the 0 key does absolutely nothing once I'm in a submenu (respond, build, admin, etc . . .)  Please tell me I don't have to reinstall the hud to fix that. :P

Did I mention that I love the preset say and build binds? I am especially loving the building ones. :)

You can contact me here or by e-mail or on EBSF's site: http://ebsf.mine.nu/forum/

Thanks again.
Title: Re: Volt Hud
Post by: Volt on December 21, 2008, 06:52:17 am
the files you need to edit are
Code: [Select]
ui/hud/common/chatmenu_install.cfg
ui/hud/common/chatmenu_alien.cfg
ui/hud/common/chatmenu_human.cfg

try this when you are on a server and for some reason chatmenu dosnt work type this.
Code: [Select]
exec ui/common/chatmenu_instal.cfg
hopfully i have answered you questions, btw if you need a quicker reply next time just send a pm i check my email more than this topic on trem.net, cya.

Post by: Metal on December 27, 2008, 10:43:37 pm
I'd use the Rave$ version in the options menu. But, there are so many darn error messages when it loads for a map >.<

I rather this HUD over oticz. Though, they are both really great HUDs. Will there be any more versions?
Title: Re: Volt Hud
Post by: StevenM on January 06, 2009, 12:15:29 am
dude your huds leet, but you need to add an option for centered chat or not, and those damn annoying chat menu things lol. i dont need those binds for the volume.
Title: Re: Volt Hud
Post by: Volt on January 06, 2009, 12:23:34 pm
Any yes there will be a new version, but this time it will be a complete ui rework.
Give me some time, some features to keep you eyes out for; ingame hudswaping, independent human and alien huds via cg_alienhud, cg_humanhud.

Also feature request for the next version can go here, or request for hud styles(Please provide some kind of layout) thanks.
Title: Re: Volt Hud

there seems to be a bug.... when i set the radar to mini radar, at times the radar resets and there is no radar at all, when i execute my config. I do have some cvars that toggle various radar options. an example being 'cg_disablescannerplane'. any answers?

If its reseting you're are probally playing on a server that has a different base name, once you connect type /exec ui/install.cfg this should load the cvars to your autogen and fix the reset problem, also you can type /seta cg_scanner 2(try 1 if 2 dosnt work).

Post by: Urcscumug on February 08, 2009, 05:52:27 pm
A couple of (minor) annoyances:
1. Messages appearing big at center of screen (server admin messages, stage advancement, connection interrupted). Would love to move them somewhere else and make them smaller.
2. Could use alien sentience points showing for grangers, like buildpoints appear for human builders.

anything i'm doing wrong?
Title: Re: Volt Hud
Post by: Urcscumug on March 11, 2009, 10:06:11 am
The command should probably be "/exec ui/install.cfg".

Post by: PureNoob on June 24, 2009, 05:37:50 pm
I haven't tried other custom HUDs but this is really cool. Alien crosshair and stage information... mmm. Sometimes the HUD changes back to default when leaving a server. I guess the problem is a modded qvm.
Title: Re: Volt Hud
Post by: Helix. on June 24, 2009, 08:26:28 pm
Yeah. It'll change your HUD/name/binds. Fine the Autogen for that QVM and fix it to your likings. I'd just run C:/Program Files/Tremulous/base open Autogen and copy n paste.
Title: Re: Volt Hud
Post by: xDragant on July 03, 2009, 12:53:01 am
..or just make binds that rewrites everything the way you want it like mines.

I based my default binds from the autogen, edited it, and took out the binds for other .cfg's like humans.cfg and aliens.cfg. But that works, if your lazy >.>

not sure that your taking bugs anymore since it says final...
in the hud menu when ever i put my cursor on the effects volume, it highlights the top preview as well. (does this on any hud)
also were the main menu prints its text for info, the hud menu prints there when its open.(i see supple of letters b/n the menu and the preview of  the huds)
i would like to ask if you had if you add 1.6,1.78 supported screen resolutions
1.6 (1680x1050)(using)
1.778 (1920x1080)

I don't know why, but when I enter the command /exec ui/install.cfg It says 'cannot /exec ui/install.cfg. WTF?
cheack if you have the right hud ui in your base. you probably have the wrong hud.

The problem, is most likely caused by you improperly switching huds without first uninstalling the previous one.
I'll list two steps, one being the quick way and the second being the longer.

quick
1.delete your autogen, or edit the command ui_menufiles within your autogen to "something/menus.cfg" to "ui/menus.cfg"

^^if the above is hard to follow, write down the cannot find line, and i'll send a fix for it.

I did a quick port a year and a half ago for someone who asked http://code.google.com/p/voltagegpp/
topic was deleted by admin for I don't remember what. But you can use voltage hudstyle on gpp.

i can use the chat menus but i cant see the HUD or the chat menus. i just get the standard HUD and nothing else :/ im running Windows 7 if that helps. oh and it didnt say how to change the HUDs in the Readme unless i missed something.
what client are you using and what version of tremulous are you trying to run this on?

Hey everyone! I am just posting to notify you that I searched for the Volt HUD, but couldn't find it. Instead, I took the file from my old downloads folder. Yep! It was still there. If you need the VOLT HUD, please contact me. I will post it up on my blog if there's any interest. Just don't have time today for it. . .  So, I may update this post later on.

I check my blog often:
