Good good! And without breaking NDA
Most excellent introduction!

great post, EmSixTeen! I am sure this is useful to a lot of people who have been struggling to get their custom HUDs working.

Hey guys!
just a little correction if im not wrong,
XP
Correct -
%appdata%\id Software\quakelive\baseq3\ui
Wrong -
%appdata%\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3\ui
I think its the opposite, my ui folder is here with XP: Datos de programa\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3\ui
Nice work with this page

nah, it’s definitely what I’ve got down.. If you put it where you’re saying, the HUD won’t work. There are two ‘baseq3′ folders, which is what get people confused.. I’ll add in a screenshot of the structure.

I very much like this guide.
The images really make it easy to understand every step of the way

I have my hud in home\baseq3\ui and it works fine.. ?
On XP

Really? How odd.. Interesting to know though, but I’ll not be changing that guide.

Guys, it’s all good that you take the initiative, but somehow lacks the commands that you can manage for your HUD. Or ID doesn’t allow this?
I hope they will be readable soon, because non-stop comparing to other players’ cfg-s is really tiring.
And good luck! I’m sure this will be the site about QL we’ll all read the most!

Being able to edit your quake live HUD isn’t really something that was intended by the developers. People just found out by themselves how to do it.
Changing your HUD isn’t an easy customization like changing a setting using the ingame menu, that’s for sure. Yet customizing your HUD is nothing more than a luxury anyway, definitely considering Quake Live is still in the beta phase.
It’s not even sure the id software developers won’t decide to disallow HUD customization all together eventually.
If you just want an easy way to change your config without having to test and compare,… we are working on something that might help you with that in the future.

You should expand on the last bit; about where you tell everyone how to actually enable the HUD when installed. That’s the part that I’m having trouble with right now, I just don’t understand what to do after the files are in the right place^^.

how do i load the hud? i tryed in console loading the xephyr one but it didn’t work what are the commands?
May 23rd, 2009 - 19:31
I want to try out some of the custom HUDs I’ve seen, but I’m worried about being able to uninstall them later. If I just delete the UI folder and everything in it, will the HUD revert to the default, or will settings somewhere be changed? If yes, how do I go back to the original HUD afterward?
May 24th, 2009 - 13:56
Just use the seta cg_hudfiles command and set to to nothing
like seta cg_hudfiles “”
June 26th, 2009 - 15:13
Im using the pyrohud, but can’t seem to make the scores show up even though the commands are there in the .cfg any ideas?
August 10th, 2009 - 13:38
Great guide! Thanks so much for your hud and helpful comments!

Hi,
THx a lot for your fantastic config.
On a MacIntosh you need to install these files in:
/Users/yourUserid/Library/Application\ Support/QuakeLive/quakelive/home/baseq3
Where yourUserid is the name of your userid.
best regards

the HUD renaming doesn’t make ANY sense at all.
Place then rename to what you renamed.
WTF?
October 13th, 2009 - 19:09
Thanks for the HUDs!
You’re the worst writer, however, mankind has ever had this misfortune of reading. If you ever write another procedural text… shoot yourself in the fucking face

I’d rather not, ta.

hey, if use the thing u have for xp the baseq3/ui thing it says it cant find it. i found a really nice hud so please help
February 10th, 2010 - 14:33
Yeah sorry, you need to go to the \baseq3\ folder and make a new empty folder called ‘ui’ and place the HUD files in there.
February 11th, 2010 - 16:31

May 12th, 2010 - 20:54
I cannot find any “quakelive” folder just a “quakelivebetatest” folder and that doesn’t have any folders in it, only 2 shortcuts???

this post explains where the quakelive folder is, go into the /home/baseq3 folder, create a ui folder there, and put the hud files (menu and a cfg/txt)
then ingame, open console and type:
/cg_hudfiles “ui/myhud.cfg” (or “ui/myhudfile.txt”, just make it match your cfg/txt file you put there)
then do /loadhud to instantly apply it to your screen.
should work, unless the hud is broken, or you misplaced files!

i need help when i do all of your stuff it comes up and says warnning file not found 30-50milli secs after i hit loadhud
can you help me ? if anyone knows anything plz help me
June 21st, 2010 - 10:49
The HUD files probably aren’t in the correct folder.. Are they definitely in
..\quakelive\home\baseq3\ui\hudname.cfg (and hudname.menu)
and then
cg_hudFiles “ui/hudname.cfg”
July 26th, 2010 - 08:05
What about for mac?
I dont really know how to do it!
August 18th, 2010 - 19:14
hello
August 23rd, 2010 - 17:59
I think part of the confusion is that you are showing 2 different locations in the first post. Your photo shows that the folder goes OUTSIDE of the home folder in one baseq. (the photo reflects %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\baseq3\ui) but then your text to what folder is
Vista
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3\ui
There are 2 baseq folders. One in the general Qlive folder and one in the home folder. You have shown both.
