That uses a system called Hud Syncs or just Hud Text, you can find more information by searching up through the API at https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/.

Code:

ClearSyncHud

CreateHudSynchronizer

SetHudTextParams

SetHudTextParamsEx

ShowHudText

ShowSyncHudText

I think the hud thing doesn't work on L4D2, usually, people achieve that by messing with EMS vscript

you have to increase the size of the box with HUDPlace, one of the parameters is the width, increasing should solve it

Those functions are used for setting up HUD texts in source games. Sadly, Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 (and perhaps other games, I don't know) don't support those functions. That's why we have to rely on the Extended Mutation System to create HUD texts in L4D2.

Looking at the letters on the right since I don't know Chinese, I notice that it mentions the number of players and the current date, how could I do it? the left part that is the list of players oscillates the nick with the red color.

On the page you mentioned so far I have the logo made, but the author put another hud for when the players speak with the name "speakerhud" but I don't know how to make that work.

Re: [L4D2] How do you make this hud?

He did it by plugin or by vscript, probably, I'm making a plugin similar but I'm far to finish
The EMS system is kinda hard to explain, you need know vscript, try to do the example from the post that I sent you then you may understand how it works.

Note: When I say "by plugin" I mean that a plugin generates the vscript (.nut) file from time to time.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 08:25.
