How to install hud tf2

A simple guide on how to install custom HUDs for Team Fortress 2.

WinRAR [www.rarlab.com]
&
A «custom» folder in your tf directory.
— I advise that you do this now to get it out of the way later.
— It should look something like this:

This is where you are putting the HUD you want.

There are many websites on where you can get HUDS.
The website I recommend going to is http://huds.tf

HUDS.TF is regularly updated with the latest versions along with TF2 updates.

Your perfect HUD is all preference.

HUDS.TF does a great job with bringing user experiences with images of the HUD before you download it.

So, browse around the HUD directory and find one that suits you and how you want your game to look.

After finding the HUD you want, click the download button on the lower right of your screen.

I recommend saving the zipped HUD into a folder where you won’t forget, or on your desktop for easy access.

After saving the HUD, open the folder in the location.

Right click it, and extract the files.

After extracting, there will normally be a Mastered version of the HUD.
Do Not mess with the content in it.

Copy that Mastered folder into your custom folder that you created in the first step.

EXAMPLE

I’m going to use FlameHUD for an example.

COPY the MASTERED folder into your CUSTOM folder.

After that, you’re all set and ready to go.

If the HUD isn’t working when you launch TF2,

— Make sure the Mastered folder is in your custom folder.
I cannot stress this enough.

— Make sure there aren’t two different HUDs in your custom folder.
Sometimes I even forget to delete my old HUD when installing a new one.

— When you open the mastered folder, there should be five folders inside:
cfg
materials
resource
scripts
sound
If there are not five of these then maybe the download didn’t finish or the HUD is not usable anymore.

HUD Installation for Windows

Before doing anything else, locate your Team Fortress 2 folder. You will usually find it in Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf. Here, you should create a folder named custom. This is where our HUD files will be stored.

Then, extract the contents of the compressed folder using WinRAR or another similar program.

Choose your desired destination for the folder to extract to, and then locate the decompressed folder. Inside, depending on how the HUD has been packaged, you will always find 2 folders named «Resource» and «Scripts». Some HUDs may come with other folders, such as «Materials».

Now, copy the folder that «Resource» and «Scripts» are located inside ( not the Resource and Scripts folders themselves) and paste it into the tf/custom folder. If done correctly, your directory should look similar to this:

Make sure not to paste the HUD folder into the tf/ directory, like this

Or else the HUD will not load
In the same vein, make sure you don’t copy too many folders into the tf/custom directory, like this

As again, the HUD will not load.
Now, load up your game. If done correctly, you’ll be greeted by a nice, new HUD!
