Configuring the HUD in CS 1.6: Improving the Game Interface

HUD (Head-Up Display) is an interface that displays health, armor, ammunition, and other important information. Properly configuring the HUD helps you navigate better during the game.

Main HUD Parameters

• hud_fastswitch — quick weapon selection.
• hud_centerid — displaying a nickname under the sight.
• hud_showtargetid — highlighting the target.
• hud_saytext_time — chat text display time.

Changing the HUD Location

You can move HUD elements using third-party plugins or modified files. For example, the HUD can be made more compact and less distracting.

Customizing colors and sizes

Some assemblies and mods allow you to change the colors and sizes of HUD elements for ease of perception.

Experiment with the settings to find the optimal interface for yourself.
