Frequently asked questions
Troubleshooting
Before reporting about a bug or a common issue like the HUD not working or having purple checker textures, please try to:
  • Restart your map.
  • Restart your game.
  • Check for addon conflicts.
    Disable ALL of your addons but this one and then try to reproduce your issue again.
Otherwise, you can report an issue here.

1. Where do I find the options?
Spawn menu (F1 or Q by default) -> Utilities -> D/GL4 HUD

2. I find something annoying. How can I change it?
Spawn menu (F1 or Q by default) -> Utilities -> D/GL4 HUD -> Accessibility

3. This HUD is affecting my FPS. How can I fix it?
Spawn menu (F1 or Q by default) -> Utilities -> D/GL4 HUD -> Performance

4. Aren't there too few parameters per element?
Check the Advanced Settings checkbox on the top left corner to access the parameters' advanced settings.

5. How can I toggle an element?
  • Spawn menu (F1 or Q by default) -> Utilities -> D/GL4 HUD -> Properties
  • Open the Properties menu.
  • Go to the Parameters tab.
  • Check or uncheck the check boxes on the elements list to determine their visibility.

6. How can I make the panels not hide?
  • Spawn menu (F1 or Q by default) -> Utilities -> D/GL4 HUD -> Properties
  • Open the Properties menu.
  • On the Common tab, under Panel look for Automatically hide and set it to Never.

7. I can't switch weapons and it plays a "denial" sound!
Select weapons with the Left Mouse Button since the Right Mouse Button here cancels the selection.

8. The buttons don't seem to do anything!
As of right now, jermaSfx causes conflicts.

9. The weapon selection skips slots and/or cycles weirdly.
As of right now, Iconic Weapon Selector causes conflicts.

10. I have made the Date visible on the Clock but I can't see it.
Move it into the background rectangle or change the Y parameter of Size to make the clock taller.

Can I make the hud look more like Battlefield? for example, the minimap on the bottom left and the health bar on the bottom right next to the ammo bar below.

Of course! You can enable "Advanced Settings" (Parameters panel, top left checkbox) for more parameters such as docking, so you can dock the panels to different parts of the screen so placing them is easier.

iirc there was a setting in h0l-d4 to make hud elements always display instead of fading out after a couple seconds of not updating - is that a feature in this too and if so how do i enable it?

You can either enable it for ALL elements (Common tab, "Automatically hide" -> Never) or per element (tick "Advanced Settings", and untick "Automatically hide").

Excellent addon! I have a question for "Sandbox Shield" compatibility, I know it works with it but, I don't know how to make the HUD shows all the time the shields (I can't even see it if I got damage) Tho, no errors!
is there a way to remove the radar?

On the HUD's Properties menu, go to Parameters and uncheck the Radar from the list.

Toggle Advanced Settings on the Parameters tab and uncheck "Automatically hide" from Sandbox Shields.

On the "Common" tab under "Panel" you can change the background colour, which includes the transparency.

Where do you find presets?
how do you change the size of the hud?
how accurate is the speed monitor cuz I tend to do math in the game to figure out real-world scale physics is it accurate that I can use it not just the speedometer but the meters in the zoom function and others as well?
