Extract the ui folder in your base directory

you can also manually set ui_menufiles to ui/chk_menus.cfg

too.

VI-Contact

On the thread on the official tremulous forum
On IRC where we are idling : #hud@freenode

You should not hope for another release since we lost motivation in making it. (nothing changed for like 1 month )

SWEEEETTT!!
I am really impressed by this, gj!

[Oblivion]

This is nice, this is actually the first hud I have used since I had the game Tremulous!

[Hellrider]

Report bugs here (if you find any) and we will try to fix them

Well, I found a few:
The about button is broken at my computer.
Hellriders hud features a black crossair, witch is really hard to see, also it's hard to see if you are boosted or not.
And on Colynn's hud the clock of the aliens is on the top of the screen.

If I find more Ill post them

[Cand`]

Good Job Guys!

Really nice work! 

[Death On Ice]

Like E-Mxp said, the clock is on the top of the screen, it gets in the way of the text.

[E-Mxp]

I found some more bugs!

On Hell's hud you have no choice but to have that red dot on humans team, turning it off in the options wont work.
Kang's hud has a really huge textscale for the console while I selected in the options I wanted them to be small.

And both Kang's hud and Colynn's hud feature a blue alien laggometer witch really stands out in the nice red hud's.

[Hellrider]

You are right, in fact i already fixed the bugs you said (about my HUD). For the other HUDs i have to talk to my mates.. anyway stay tuned because next release may have some interesting changes 

[mooseberry]

Question: Can you make it so it works with the new way to make HUDs in 1.2.0? Ask Kevlarman or K-Otic for details.
Or a dev

[thirdstreettito]

How would I make a custom menu like that?

[Lava Croft]

Good work, looks really nice!

[thirdstreettito]

Yeeaah, that doesn't answer my question...

[Lava Croft]

Yeeaah, that doesn't answer my question...

This is not the thread to ask about how to make menus. This thread is about Kang's menus.

[Hellrider]

Good work, looks really nice!

Thanks   

thirdrdstreettido (to answer to your pm): i suggest you download some of the menus and huds that were released lately in the forums and look at the code. K-otic menus are well organized and similar to these ones.
Start editing existing stuff before going for something completely new 

[DARK*VENOM]

when is the next version comming out??

[thirdstreettito]

How do I make it use one of the other HUDs?

[Hellrider]

Dark*Venom: i doubt there will be another one, unless people find some serious bugs which affects the menus

Thirdstreettito: you should add your hud in a directory inside the general hud folder and modify a few lines of code in the options menu adding the path to your "uberhud.cfg" file.

[DARK*VENOM]

i found a big bug my computer freezes when i get to the server list and freezes during game play and anytime im running the game it freezes somemore .(i had this problem since i downloaded this HUD)

[whitebear]

Needs mod info from servers.
