Tutorial Section

This is the core tutorial to getting started with hud editing. Note that this will not teach you everything you need to know to make a full hud -- it should give you everything you need to create a simple hud and teach you all you need to figure out your way from there, but creating a complete original hud will require practice and getting more used to the resource files than a tutorial can cover.

Appendix

This contains lots of in-depth descriptions or useful tidbits and techniques, that even experienced hud developers may not know. Some are immediately useful for all huds, and some are solutions to very specific problems that very few face.
