Modding led to an blur of HUD data!

[R-Manta ray]

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this in, but its here anyway.
Also, is searched for an answer to this, and I haven't found anything, so don't
be angry if the answer is already here. To buisiness.

Recently while i was doing my first skin, I ran into an unfortunate accident.
The Ammo count, Gernade count, and the distance to the Flag were all
blurred out. I haven't been able to fix it. Here is a pic of the problem:

If you need pics of either the blur and/or the mod that I am doing, not only
tell me, but tell me how to put them up (I kinda haven't ever posted any pics)


Thanks in advance!

I think that i have gotten the pics. I have to go to bed now, so if this doesn't
work then I will be able to post them by, at earliest, 5:00 tomorrow.



I couldn't get a gif pic of the mod, but when i first noticed the mistake was when i modded the Postgame Carnage Screen

Thanks again for the help

oh uh... not good.... not good..

umm.... reinstall HUD?

[R-Manta ray]

what do you mean by reinstall the HUD?

I'm taking a wild guess:
this. is. bad.

I have an idea but it involves reinstalling the cache backup data in hex
address FF:2D:EF and overwriting the hud anti-disabler file. This process is
complicated and requires the use of a multi-dimensional reconstructor from
the hud patch replacement utility through the message loop input/output file
stream.

let me know if you need directions on how to do this

move the modded map file somewhere else then reinstall and replace the modded map in the maps folder

[R-Manta ray]

Good Idea. I'm gonna try that now.

I have no clue what might be causing it, but its probably something to do with the display. Like the display files... Im not into deep modding so I'm not sure, but ... grr... i dont know.

First i need to know if u edited it in photoshop.

if u did, then open the skin you modded, save it as DDS. then a box will pop up, to the right choose "use existing MIP maps". then re-inject the skin. if that doesnt work, choose "generate MIP maps". I had the same problem when i changed my reticules. If all else fails, replace the bitmaps.MAP file with a backup copy. then the map u are skinning, replace that too.

if you need anymore help:
