Introduction
All commands are meant to be executed through the console (i.e. by pressing ~ or F3)

If you want to customize the HUD, you can load a single player game through the console (press F3 or ~):
open KF-Nuked?mutator=FriendlyHUD.FriendlyHUDMutator
then enable godmode:
enablecheats|god|togglezedsignoreme
and spawn in bots using this command (they spawn where you're looking at):
DebugFHUDSpawnBot
If you want to prevent the bots from getting attacked, you can press F4 to pause all game logic (including FriendlyHUD), which means the bots won't die but they also won't be able to take damage.

You can also customize the HUD outside of the game by editing this file (make sure to close your game first or it won't work!):
My Documents\My Games\Killing Floor 2\Config\KFFriendlyHUD.ini
General Settings
Command
Defaults
Description
SetFHUDEnabled <bool>
true
Controls whether FHUD is enabled or not

false
Controls whether FHUD should only be visible when playing as medic
SetFHUDIgnoreSelf <bool>

health

healthregen

none
Disables sorting
SetFHUDOpacity <float>
1.0
Controls the opacity multiplier of all colors
By default, most colors have an alpha value of 192. In order to reach maximum opacity, you would have to use a multiplier of at least 1.33.
SetFHUDDynamicOpacity <float P1> <float P0 = 1> <float T0 = 4> <float T1 = 0>
1.0 1.0 4.0 0.0
Lowers the opacity of full-health players
Note: the parameters are used to configure the cubic interpolation curve used for scaling the opacity. If you want to fine-tune the scaling, you might have to fiddle with the parameters a bit.

Example: 0.6 1.0

Bar Settings
By default, the bars (health and armor) are rendered as a single block. You can split the bars into multiple blocks using the SetFHUDBlockCount command, however the total bar width won't be adjusted. You will need to lower the block size so that the bar doesn't cover your entire screen.

The armor bar and health bar block settings can be controlled separately by prefixing block commands with "health" or "armor", e.g:
SetFHUDBlockSize -> SetFHUDArmorBlockSize, SetFHUDHealthBlockSize

Command
Defaults
Description
SetFHUDBarGap <float>
-1
SetFHUDBlockProportions <float Width> <string Ratios>
Sets up block dimensions and block ratios from a given total bar width and a list of ratios; the ratios are comma-separated
This controls block ratios overrides and block dimensions overrides simultaneously.

(block 1: 70%, 200*0.7 pixels; block 2: 30%, 200*0.3 pixels)

200 0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2
(5 40-pixel blocks that represent 20% each)

SetFHUDBlockSize <float Width> <float Height> <int BlockIndex = -1>
200 8
If BlockIndex is specified, the dimensions will only be applied to that specific block.

SetFHUDBlockWidth <float> <int BlockIndex = -1>
200
Controls the block width independently from the height
If BlockIndex is specified, the dimensions will only be applied to that specific block.
SetFHUDBlockHeight <float> <int BlockIndex = -1>
8
Controls the block height independently from the width
If BlockIndex is specified, the dimensions will only be applied to that specific block.

What do you exactly type to disable this because I can't get the commands to work
Twomd 30 Oct, 2022 @ 6:06pm 
Oh nevermind I think I have it
Twomd 30 Oct, 2022 @ 6:02pm 
I know this is a bit late but can you explain a bit deeper how to input the opacity scaling so full health is translucent in console? It is saying P1 is a bad value in console when inputting
