Joel: Glad to be of assistance! Good luck with the mod.
Dest: Let's start with the simplest solution. Have you specified your class
in scripts/HudLayout.res file? Our classname is CH5UI_PlayerNames, here's
what we have in our HudLayout.res file. This sets your hud element to be
visible, positioned at 0,0 and sizes it to fit the whole screen.
CH5UI_PlayerNames
{
"fieldName" "CH5UI_PlayerNames"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "0"
"wide" "640"
"tall" "480"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
}
If you have already done this, we'll keep troubleshooting from there.
