Half-Life 1-like HUD Standalone

Standalone HUD version of the HUD I made for the Ultimate Tweaks for Beta Aesthetics mod. Includes the minor icon adjustments from the Miscellaneous Tweaks mod and the crossbow from the episodes.

(The crosshairs and weapon names are not included here, but you can get them from either the full tweaks mod, or the hud and fixes standalone version.)

Notice: Any mods that alter HalfLife2.ttf, clientscheme.res, or hudanimations.txt will not be compatible unless you set this one with higher priority.

Installation:
1) Go to Half-Life 2\hl2\resource\valve_[yourlanguage].txt
2) Open the file and find Valve_HUD_Health and Valve_HUD_Suit. You should see some text saying "Health" and "Suit" (or whatever they are in your language) next to these.
3) Change "Health" and "Suit" to "D" and "N" respectively. Don't forget to change these back to normal if you want to uninstall the mod in the future.
4) Finally, in case you get broken icons, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\220\3417267479, copy workshop_dir.vpk, and paste it mod into your Custom Folder at Half-Life 2\hl2\custom. If the folder does not exist, create it.
5) Rename workshop_dir.vpk to something else since a lot of mods require this installation method and all have the same name.

(Bonus) If you want to change the HUD's color, unpack this mod with GFCScape[gamebanana.com] and place it in a folder INSIDE your custom folder; then, check the files provided within the Custom HUD Fix folder from the mod.
Make sure to unsubscribe from any mods that edit clientscheme.res, including this one, if you do this to prevent the color changes from being overwritten by the workshop. If you also have mods that edit HalfLife2.ttf installed in the custom folder (resulting in the infamous running man), you should unpack the mod as well and rename it to something like 1-Half-Life HUD. The starting character of the name will make it take priority over other mods you may have installed here.

Also, if you want to use the custom crosshairs from one of my other mods, make sure to also unpack this into your custom folder, like what the bonus section says, and to set this mod with higher priority in both, the workshop load order, and the custom folder load order (the priority in the custom folder is determined by the name of the mod folder aka a folder name A has priority over a folder named B).

You are done. Enjoy!

-Inspiration for the retro HUD look. Referenced the clientscheme.res and hudanimations.txt files.

-Inspiration for the HUD, which is based on Half-Life 1: MMod.

-Referenced their mod that changes the vanilla HUD colors to make the HUD colors in this mod consistent.
