Install instructions

Copy the files from this repo to a folder named zzz_votehud_custom_font in your tf/custom directory. (the zzz makes sure the mod loads after any custom HUD you have installed) E.g.

Program Files (x86)

If you have a custom HUD installed there are a few more steps you need to do to complete the installation:

  1. Go to your custom HUDs resource folder. It should be something like:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\<CUSTOM HUD NAME>\resource

    In there you will find a file called clientscheme.res. Rename this file to clientscheme_OLD.res.

  2. Go into the ui folder and look for votehud.res, if your HUD has this file then rename it to votehud_OLD.res. If your HUD doesn't have this file then just skip this step.

  3. Go back to your resource folder and look for a file called chat_<language>.txt. Replace <language> with whatever language you have set in steam (e.g. for english look for chat_english.txt). If your HUD has this file, then you will need to copy some lines from the same file in zzz_votehud_custom_font. If your HUD doesn't have this file then you can skip this step.

    In the zzz_votehud_custom_font chat_<language>.txt file you will see a couple of block comments, one labeled CUSTOM FONT MOD START and another CUSTOM FONT MOD END. Copy all the text in between these 2 comments and paste it into your chat_<language>.txt file in your custom HUDs resource folder. In that file look for a line that says "Tokens" after that there should be an open curly brace {. Add a new line after this curly brace and paste the text that you copied from this mod there and save the file.

If you have followed these steps correctly you should now see this mod being used for the voting panels.

By default this mod will use a background colour as defined by your custom HUD. If you would rather override this and use the default grey you can edit the votehud.res file in this mods resource\ui folder. Look for the two lines that start with // "bgcolor_override" and remove the 2 slashes to uncomment them. One of them will make the active vote panel have a grey background and the other will do the same for the vote creation panel.

Download Version 1.3

Changelog:

  • Added support for French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian and Spanish.

  • Added more characters from non-English languages into the font.

  • Fixed font appearing jaggy and pixelated.

  • Fixed very long names being cut off in the kick list.

Note: Cyrillic / Russian letters are now drawn with an underline, this is to prevent them form being confused with their Latin counterparts.

Also, if you speak German, let me know if the translation for Kick: is correct. German was the only language that had the verb after the persons name. I quickly edited it but I don't speak German, if it doesn't make sense let me know and I can update it.

Download Version 1.1

Changelog:

  • Moved strings from tf_english.txt and gameui_english.txt to chat_english.txt

This will hopefully prevent the game crashing if TF2 is updated. If you are using version 1.0 everything should still work fine but you might need to download the latest version after the next TF2 update.

If you just want to update your current version, you can simply delete tf_english.txt and gameui_english.txt from the mod folder and copy over chat_english.txt to the same location. If your custom HUD already has a chat_english.txt you should be able to copy and paste the lines from this mod directly into that file.
