Enhancing your play (Tips)

[tremvideos]

Alright, after seeing people mistake things like Adminplz's HUD for a Mod I have made a brief tutorial on how to make your screen look like that.
Let's get started...
/cg_drawgun 1/0- 1 enables the gun, 0 gets rid of it. Drawgun 1 is here and drawgun 0 is Here
--Pros: Gives you a larger view of the enemies to the right. Cons-- you might forget what weapon you are using (lol)

/cg_drawteamoverlay 1/0- Gives you a small list in the top right hand corner (default) of your team's kill status. 1 is here:
--Pros: gives you easy access to glance at both your and your team's score without having to spend time using tab. Cons-- it's kinda small...

/cg_lagometer 1/0- 1 Enables it, 0 gets rid of it. /cg_lagometer 1 looks like this:
--Pros: you don't need to |TAB| to view your connection/ping. Cons-- Takes a tiny bit of your view. That's it though.

/cg_drawcrosshair Y/X- If the HUD you are using has a crosshair attached, this will work. /cg_drawcrosshair Y looks like this: and /cg_drawcrosshair X looks like this:

Just a few thing's I wanted to go over. Thanks.

Hmm, at first I thought this thread was about enhancing your play with gameplay tips, instead TremVideos, it talks about the commands that can customize your HUD.

Good work TremVideos, I'm not sure if this information is already stored somewhere else in the forums, but this thread can be a great reference for new HUD artists who wants to know the console commands for "tweaking" their HUD.

Why not add this command?:

/cg_drawcrosshair 1/0- 1 enables the crosshair. 0 Disables it.
--Pros: You won't have that tiny crosshair taking up the space on your screen. --Cons: Good luck aiming.

Also, why not add more information about tweaking your HUD, I'm sure you could get it from one of our many talented HUD artists here. Also, change the name of the thread to something that suits the topic of the information typed here. Once again, good work TremVideos, this information can be useful.

Btw, console variables can be found on the link below, I'm sure this website can help you add to your thread:

/cg_draw2d 0

Pros: You can actually see aliens moving around on your screen. Cons: Fighting is a bit difficult.

Thanks for the website.
I just changed the topic to HUD instead of "Play".
Lol I don't think anyone smart would do /cg_drawcrosshair 0. xD
