Install the HUD
(want to uninstall? instructions right after the install section)


1) Go to

Vista
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3\ui

XP
%appdata%\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3\ui

(these folders are hidden)
The folder ui is not there you have to create it.


2) Copy hud.cfg and hud.menu there

(keep a backup copy, just in case you ruin the files when modifying them)



3)Rename your files anything you want (both files must have the same name)



4)Modify the file .cfg file.

Modify the highlighted line

loadMenu { "ui/intro.menu" }
loadMenu { "ui/your_new_name.menu" }
loadMenu { "ui/ingamescoreteam.menu" }


5) Open the .menu file in a text editor

Modify the higlighted numbers

//*****AMMO*****//

menuDef {
name "Ammo"
fullScreen MENU_FALSE
visible MENU_TRUE
rect 300 242 99 36 //266 428 99 36 // - bump up value for bottom weapon bar



6) Start a practice game.

Open the console (Ctrl + Alt + ~)
(easier way to open the console: see bottom of this post)

type

cg_hudfiles ui/your_file_name.cfg


type

vid_restart



If it worked you should see the ammo info in the center of your screen


To make the change permanent you have to add this line to your autoexec.cfg file

seta cg_hudFiles "ui/name_of_your_hud.cfg"


or open the console again and type

writeconfig autoexec




if you don't know about the autoexec.cfg file go here

Uninstall your custom HUD

The easy way to back to normal:
in your config file (autoexec.cfg), change the line
seta cg_hudfiles "ui/your_custom_hud.txt"

to
seta cg_hudfiles "ui/hud.txt"





The other way
1. In your config file (autoexec.cfg) erase the line
seta cg_hudfiles "ui/your_custom_hud.cfg"

2. Go to the folder quakelive/home/baseq3
there, you will find the file qzconfig.cfg

3. In qzconfig.cfg erase the line
seta cg_hudFiles "ui/your_custom_hud.cfg"

4. Open a match. Back to the default hud.
