I have added the folder into my custom folder as per usual, and also had changed the name to insomniaHUD and yet it still opens with the default HUD rather than the custom HUD

very very strange. i'll fire up a virtual machine later to test it out. care to tell me what distribution you are using, alongside your display manager and desktop environment and/or window manager?

UnusedEngineWasTaken commented 1 year ago

im using arch linux, lightdm and i3

UnusedEngineWasTaken commented 1 year ago

please also do keep in mind i have downgraded my libx11 and lib32-libx11 to versions 1.8.2-2 as to stop TF2 randomly crashing (only on Nvidia gpus)

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce this. I'll try and get some other Linux users to test the HUD out, but as of right now, I do not see this getting fixed anytime soon. My apologies.

I am planning to distro hop to void linux and will update you if it works there

TF2 huds will not work on Linux unless the folder name is completely lowercase (i.e. "insomniahud" instead of the required "insomniaHUD")

tf2 on linux is very picky about mods, it really dislikes uppercase letters and spaces, just get rid of them. e.g. "Some Mod" -> "some_mod".

It’s not that it’s picky, it’s just because most Linux filesystems, are case-sensitive compared to Windows ones. Where a folder named SOMETHING and one named something won’t make a difference at all on Windows, it will on Linux. The same thing applies to files, including .vpk ones.

Team Fortress 2 does recognize uppercase mods, but doesn’t correct them properly, mainly recreating a lowercase empty folder of it automatically, without actually moving/copying the files. It could also be due to some case, where the game list internally modded files to read from as lowercase, once it finished crawling throught the entire folder, and as such, recreate incorrect lowercases ones instead of the read Uppercase one.

Tl;dr : Unix-type file systems are case-sensitive, Windows isn’t, the game probably isn’t either, and it may just default everything to lowercase ″because this behavior doesn’t matter on Windows″.
