A fix for HUD messages being cut off in widescreen
Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2010 1:49 pm
I've found a fix for HUD messages being cut off (like those on oc_diving and oc_kake) on widescreen resolutions. See the screenshots below if you don't understand what I mean.
Here's how:
1) Assuming you installed Steam to the default location, go to 'C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\obsidian\scripts' and open up the file 'HudLayout.res' in Notepad (make a backup of the file first).
2) Perform a search for 'HudMessage', you should see a block like this:
3) Change
to
(for clarity, that's the letter 'f' followed by a zero)
4) Now, save the file and load up the mod, it should be fixed. If you already have your mod open, you can force an update with the console command 'hud_reloadscheme' (note that motd panels will appear messed up after this, but it'll go away after a mod restart)
Hope this helps.
