yet another CSQC HUD tutorial

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/177 ... orials.zip

Start here. It has the shell of the mod, all you have to do is fill in updateStats(), drawHud(), and add the apropriate
clientstat() and globalstat() to worldspawn.

The following tutorials should explain pretty well just how to do that.

View.qc:
the weaponFrame() of csqc.
that is, its the function I abuse to get shit done every single frame.

I call all of my hud drawing functions at the ass end of csqc_updateview()

also has options to turn off crosshairs and the default hud (very useful)
and drawmasks for people who know what they're doing.

main.qc
most of the things I dare not touch are here!
If you just want a hud, you can leave this file alone completely.
If you want to intercept te_effects, events, print messages, input events
and console commands though, this is your shangri la.
#DEFINES are needed for some of those functions. I forget which ones, I'll
try to answer that later.

csplat.qc
This file can be regenerated by issuing the following command:
pr_dumpplatform -fdefines -tcs -o csplat

contains tons of function prototypes for engine builtins and the like.

a trove of information.
Read it, it'll give you ideas fo sho.

a more up to date, and more permanant place to find the csqc files for this tutorial
...and for anything really. its a nice stub based on dresks.

if you know how to use git, you can do that
otherwise you can click the download button on the top right

Thanks also for calling my attention to this. I'd already been messing around with CSQC using the source from the FTEQW svn, this probably will be more useful for my needs though...

No problem : ) It had recently come to my attention that the files provided were not as useful as I remembered them being.
So it was a happy coincidence. But this tutorial should be piss easy and there should be very little left fo leave you scratching your head.
Let me know how helpful you found it!
