Left HUD

Description
On Your Left!

Vertical HUD with all player and teammate data located on the left side of the screen.

This is a variant of my "Small Vertical HUD" with slightly longer health bars, which allows to better display player names when they are longer than desirable. (Yes, we all know someone who has an absurdly long nickname).

The intention is to have all the game information in a single area, as compact and readable as possible. That meant discarding certain fonts and font sizes that would make the HUD look bad at lower resolutions. It has been tested at resolutions of 1280x720 and 1920x1080. While it shouldn't give problems at other resolutions, I can't say that for sure.

What this HUD contains:
- Custom animated health bars, including temporary health (pills, adrenaline, incap). Each health stage (green, orange, red) flashes at a different rate, increasing as health decreases and the color changes.
- Animated incapacitation image.
- Image for death.
- The chat has been placed a little higher to avoid overlapping with the teammates' hud.
- New texture in white fot the Helping progress bar.
- Support for most custom crosshairs:

---NOTE:
As can be seen in one of the images, there is a problem with the M60. Because of the way the game displays the ammo for this weapon, the amount remaining is displayed above the health bar, although it can be seen without much problem.


** If any survivor mod contains a vmt file for the incapacitate image, it could cause incompatibilities, but except in very rare cases it should work without a problem.


There are no changes in the rest of the panels for the different game modes. Only the main hud of the player and his teammates changes.

I think the screenshots explain everything better. The full-screen screenshots were taken on a laptop computer at a resolution of 1920x1080.


- The color icons of the survivors shown in the screenshot with custom elements belong to the "Color Survivor Portraits " mod:

Could you make a version for the right side of the screen where the text chat is in the bottom left and kill feed / protection feed is in the top right or left? Also a version in white and black would be cool too if possible.

@Vilinsecto Hmm i just searched those up and yeah, they're good too but they are more like just googled photoshoots while yours feel a lot more cleaner, consistent and edited to look like the default icons (specifically the L4D2 survivors; It's basically 101 of them). I think it would be cool to see them on the workshop! (Unless you have a reason to not upload them)

@¿alho? It is not in the workshop. It's one I made for personal use some time ago. I thought about post it, but then someone uploaded a similar one ( Real Life icon) and I didn't do it.
