HUD help.

Hey, I'm making a HUD with rofldonutburgers template (Here.)
And I cant get rid of the background thingy, whatever you call it. (The parts marked red)


I've done this:


And this:


And this:


If your wondering what the orange part in the middle is: That is the HUD for my Half-life 2 mod (Hopefully releasing soonish )
Speaking of which: Steam just finished Dl'ing HL2: Ep2.
Don't talk to me about the search button, I tried using it and got nothing.

nulling out the WHPI tags in the weapons will get rid of most of those. however, you will want them for your ammo count and such.

I was thinking if it would work with a blank bitmap...probably not though. I have very little expertise with bitmaps, Bunneh is the bitmapper.

As for the ammo, what bunneh said. You will want the ammo (you can shift its position if need be) to appear.

Does anyone know how to edit/make a custom ammo counter? Its for my HL2 mod, I've finished the shield meter but its the ammo I cant get right

If you're using the HEK, then yep, I know how. If you're not, then I'll tell you to experiment with grayscale gradients of an existing bitmap image. Basically, the game takes the grayscale part of a sprite bitmap and applies a ratio tied to the ammo or heat count for the weapon. So for example, white in the grayscale area of the sprite bitmap is 0% heat generated, while black is 100% heat generated, and middle-of-the-road gray is 50% heat generated. Or the opposite may be true with the colors.
