Installation

If you're on Windows, KBNHud is now included in CriticalFlaw's and Revan's HUD Editor, an installer and customization tool that provides a visual system for enabling the customizations you use, as well as set up your crosshairs, colors, and pretty much every custom setting for KBNHUd.

Extract

Extract kbnhud-master.zip, and you should see it give you a kbnhud-master folder

Install

Where to install:

Windows

Navigate to:

C:/Program Files(x86)/Steam/SteamApps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/custom

Or if you have TF2 installed on a secondary drive

(Letter of your games drive)/SteamLibrary/SteamApps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/custom

Copy+Paste the kbnhud-master folder into the above folders, whichever one you are using

Mac OS

Navigate to:

(home folder)/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/custom

Or to:

(Games drive)/SteamLibrary/SteamApps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/custom

Copy+Paste the kbnhud-master folder into the above folders, whichever one you are using

Linux (Most distros)

Navigate to ~/home/(home folder)/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/custom

Or to:

(Games drive)/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/custom

Copy+Paste the kbnhud-master folder into the above folders, whichever one you are using

If the above file paths aren't exact to your distro, simply use the manage files menu option from within steam. The above example is the file path for most distros, as steam makes a folder link to the local data folder used by the distro within (home folder)/.steam/

Please also note the fonts get weird depending on the desktop environment that is first installed with your distro. As Microsoft iterates on WSL, more and more Windows functions are cropping up. KBNHud is configured to work best with Ubuntu running at 1080p and all of the flaws it has; the two DEs (desktop environments) that I have tested to work near flawlessly with minor changes are KDE Plasma and XFCE (the HUD should work out of the box on XFCE4 and KDE Plasma wihtout any further modification, at least in my own testing). Most others will never quite render fonts properly. I would recommend not using default Ubuntu anyway, as KDE Plasma far outclasses the Gnome based Unity DE that Ubuntu uses. Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE) or Xubuntu (Ubuntu with XFCE) are my recommendations. KDE is the better one for beginners, XFCE is faster and lighter, but for more advanced users.
