What is the HUD? (Heads-up Display)

The information on your screen: health, armor, ammo, weapon, timer, etc.

You can change the size, position or color of these items.

I can tell you how to do some changes to the info you see on your screen:

  • position
  • size
  • color
  • background

Do you want to see a different HUD without installing anything?
(no permanent changes, you won't ruin any files or configuration)

1. Open a match.
2. Press "Esc"
3. Go to Game Settings / Intermediate
4. Choose Hud Style: small

Your hud changed!
You can go back and choose HUD style: normal if you want.


Multiple huds

It is easy to have multiple huds.
All you need is some binds:
bind 1 "seta cg_hudfiles ui/hud_01.cfg; loadhud"
bind 2 "seta cg_hudfiles ui/hud_02.cfg; loadhud"
bind 3 "seta cg_hudfiles ui/hud_03.cfg; loadhud"
bind 4 "seta cg_hudfiles ui/hud_04.cfg; loadhud"
bind 5 "seta cg_hudfiles ui/hud_05.cfg; loadhud"

Hud changes instantly.
No need to vid_restart.
(next time you play, you will start with the last hud you used)

    No.
    Changing the HUD only changes the way some info is displayed on the screen.
