i used jr's custom hud to base my own hud. All was doing fine, but then it randomly stopped compiling. I have everything included that needs to be there. I even went back to jr's base hud and it didnt show it (meaning it was the waw hud). Also this isnt just a 1 mod thing, i have tried it on 3 mods and all with the same results. To test to see that my mod.csv was working, i added the main.menu and that edits fine. By not compiling, i mean it doesnt change the hud at all. As for errors? i have none. my mod.csv:

Try adding the HUD file includes to your mapname.csv in zone_source.

Whether it's relevant to your problem or not if you are using comments in CSV but a space between the comment and your comment text.

BAD:

Plaintext

//menu
menufile,ui\hud.menu

GOOD:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

// menu
menufile,ui\hud.menu

Otherwise hud.menu will not actually be included.

the menu files always have to be the last in your mod.csv

if this is about the hud not appearing try adding this to your_map.csv

Code Snippet

Plaintext

menufile,ui/hud.menu
menufile,ui/hud.txt

that txt file is important and i found that sometimes it doesnt gets compiled if you dont have it in a csv

If the hud doesnt show ingame and you have the line for it in your CSV then there is a syntax error preventing Launcher from compiling hud.menu. Watch the Launcher console while compiling your ff and you will see the error(s) in red.

So what was the issue exactly? A bad Syntax? You said you didn't have any errors.
