PocketHud

A WYSIWYG editor for VGUI interfaces. This project primarily targets Team Fortress 2 hud creation.

While this tool is to be used as the primary tool for editing HUDs, it cannot do everything; you may need to make manual edits to the VGUI resource files yourself.

N.B. this software only works in readonly mode. There are no edit features as of July 13th, 2021. Edit features will be introduced when the render pipeline is stable.

Usage

Open up a HUD in readonly mode:

$ go run github.com/dresswithpockets/PocketHud -- --root "path/to/my/hud" --readonly

N.B. as noted in the foreword, this software only worked in readonly mode. Attempting to run PocketHud in editmode (or without the --readonly flag) will panic and close immediately.

N.B.B. this software is not production ready and is subject to sweeping changes at any moment. Versions are likely to be incompatible between each other. Compatibility and long term support will be the end goal after v1.0.
