What is this?
Some simple highlight system to mark the position of close items and weapons. Supply items, like healthkits or batteries will appear green, ammo blue and Half-Life 2 weapons slightly yellow. Scripted weapons will appear blue-ish and scripted entites (spawnables only!) will appear cyan. (hud NOT included)
FAQ
Q: Can I somehow change the highlight colors? A: For now, check for "ihl_" console commands. I'll add more advanced options soon.
Q: Why do items have no name displayed? A: Because gmod sets the name in the UI, not in the item. I'll maybe add them manually...
Q: Why are some scripted entities like cut-off limbs highlighted? That's just weird... A: Because the creator of that gore mod you're using tagged the gibs as menu spawnable, for whatever reason.
Q: What is the hud you're using? A: I made that one up about half a year ago. It's not available for download.
Q: What maps were these screenshots taken on? A: d2_lostcoast ( Half-Life 2: Lost Coast ) and dm_steamlab ( Half-Life 2: Deathmatch )
Q: What is that weapon shown on one of the screenshots? A: It's from one of my other addons.
Known bugs
- A weapons name is sometimes displayed twice on the screen. One at the default position, one at the maps origin position.
