Crosshairs and UI icons font file

Scalphunter · on27 Feb 2021, 08:14:14

Where do I find the beta crosshair and weapon and ammo icons? I know they should be in a TTF file but the only ones I see in the resources folder are DINLi, DINRg, and HLHUD. None of them have those icons.

Edit: I found the icons and was able to change the weapon ammo icons to the beta ones. I was also able to change the quickinfo brackets to the beta ones. However, for some reason, they're moved far from the crosshair. Also, the animation of the health and ammo brackets depleting doesn't work. Only when the ammo/health is low does it do the red color flashing animation.

Quick Info:

Low Ammo animation:

Any idea how to fix these two issues? And for anyone wondering where the beta icons are, they're not in a font file. They're actually VTF files in the sprites/materials folder.

Crosshair: crosshairs
Quickinfo: qi_center
Weapons: w_icons1, w_icons1b, w_icons2, w_icons2b, w_icons3, w_icons3b, w_icons4, w_icons4b
Ammunition: a_icons1

I've fixed these issues. I used the following mod (https://github.com/MilkywayM16/hl2-old-hud) and compiled the code to get the client.dll and server.dll. Then I replaced those files in the retail HL2 bin folder and this is the result:

Can someone send me that library HUD code in compiled stage?
It would be perfect for the BETA Remastered 2.0 fashion by BenedictKapustin_42! (and sure a good addition for my revision patch)

I can send you the dll files I'm using right now which are the compiled code. But just a heads up, the ammo icons for the pickups you see on the right are not done using the code. They're set in the weapon scripts under the 'ammo' section.

Hi. I'm looking for a way to replicate this crosshair for use in video editing to make HL2 memes, but, i can't find a way to replicate the quickinfo. I saw this and hoped you knew how to find it, so I could replicate it?

Edit: Sorry for the necropost. Didn't realize this was from 2021.
