HUD install guide, terribly done

Just a quick guide here from myself to hopefully help some people figure out how to get and use a custom HUD for QuakeLive. No screenshots due to NDA.

First off, go and find whatever custom HUD you'd like to use, or get the default HUD files. This thread on the QuakeLive Beta forums has lots of custom HUDs and chat regarding them, and searching around those forums will yield some more results. However, let's pretend you're using mine, which is available here. Download it, extract it with WinRAR to wherever you like, and then navigate to the extracted \quakelive\baseq3\ui\, and put those files in the folder below. By default the 'ui' folder will not be there - You have to make it, then put the HUD files in there (.menu and .cfg files). Start Menu, then Run the address to get there quickly.

Vista

Correct - %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\baseq3\ui

Wrong - %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3\ui

XP

Correct - %appdata%\id Software\quakelive\baseq3\ui

Wrong - %appdata%\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3\ui

All these files are editable in notepad/wordpad, of course. If you rename your .menu file, you need to edit a line in the .cfg file to let it know where your .menu file is, like shown here:

Then, either via console in-game or via your playing config, put in this line:

If you did it in-game, you'll need to type /loadhud in console for it to take effect - Otherwise, if you did it via your config, it should take effect next time you load up QuakeLive.

Happy fragging. :)

Any problems, just ask around in #quakelive.beta or #qlpickup.eu - Plenty of people are willing to help there.
