game crashes on startup since latest update 2011-05-06

USING MY old update:

[quote]I really appreciate what Delphium has started, but his modifications don't take account for minimum

hud and many of the elements that i'd like changed, so here is my version:
http://www.mediafire.com/?l6y2g4475uu6cs5
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PO234PD8

-intro CONTINUE button moved to center screen (TextWindow.res)
-moved back/continue buttons closer together on next screen
-optimized classes hud elements for 5760x1200 resolution with minimum hud
-moved chat window to the bottom right of left screen
-expanded chat window height
-moved spy sapping/engineer elements to top right of left screen
-moved current achievement progress to top left of left screen
-modified kill history (HudDeathNotice) and moved it to top left of right screen


installation instructions:
extract to
SteamsteamappsYOURACCOUNTteam fortress 2tf
1. make sure resource and script folders get extracted here.
2. run tf2, go to options>keyboard advanced, check quick weapon switch
3. go to options multiplayer advanced and enable minimum hud

(steps 2 and 3 are not required, but i optimized the hud for that)

Feel free to add me on steam to play some TF2:

still to do, unsure of location:
move talking ( ! ) bubble
move the voice commands (Z,X,C keys by default)

Do you have a 5760 x 1080 one?

I need to create some new packs for the latest game updates.

I need to create some new packs for the latest game updates.

It would be most appreciated!

I've had TF2 since the Orange Box release.. i really should try it out some day.

Hopefully I'll have more luck with Delphiums' HUD solution than i did for L4D2

By following the instructions I posted months back, I have got a working 5760x1080 centered HUD.

It is not 100% perfect, as a bunch of items have been moved around since the latest updates and thus the hud editor needs some updates itself to reflect this, once I have worked them out, ill post back!

In the mean time, using the current hud editor profiles, I have managed to get a working hud.
I will post the 4 most common resolution packs + basepack for creating your own bezel corrected hud later this evening.

As stated here is a set of beta packs since the latest game updates.
These are not perfect and are considered BETA, but they do fix a lot of the main items including the chat window, making the game very playable again in eyefinity/surround etc.

These packs are for the 4 most common aspect ratios.

Here is the set of files from which I worked from and processed using the hud editor tool in my signature.
You can use the base pack for creating a set of custom resolutions such as support for bezel compensation, again using the hud editor tool.
