A Team Fortress 2 HUD built from the ground up using #base.

Installation and Customization

A full installation guide & video can be found here.

The HUD wiki contains a wealth of information on installing the HUD as well as customizing it. However, feel free to reach out in the Discord if you have any other questions.

Installation (TL;DR)

1. Find your TF2 install location
   • The fastest way is to open Steam -> go to your game library -> right click Team Fortress 2 -> Properties -> Under "Installed Files", click "Browse..."
2. Navigate to ../tf/custom
   • If you don't have a custom folder, create it
3. Download the latest release
   • You just need the first zipped file (typically called budhud.zip)
4. Extract the zipped file into your ../tf/custom folder
   • You can use Windows' built in extraction (right click > Extract All...) or a program like 7-Zip
   • Ensure you don't have two folders within each other (see below)

To see if you placed it in the correct place, we'll use the info.vdf file as an example.

The path to the info.vdf file should be:

../tf/custom/budhud/info.vdf

NOT

../tf/custom/budhud/budhud/info.vdf

This is the most common mistake people make when installing a hud.

budhud Updater Script

budhud includes a shell script (budhud Updater.ps1) in the base directory that will allow you to do a few different things, such as verify you installed the HUD correctly or update the default game files after a TF2 update.

To open this file, you need to Right click the file and select Run with PowerShell.

Check out the wiki for more information.
