How To Guide (Text)

 

First please take not that my setup is a 27" Monitor @ 2560 x 1440.
Yours will most likey be diffrent therefore you may need to make adjustments till things fit your screen the way you like them.

Step 1
Open the Cold Waters game directory
The drive where you steam games are then \steam\steamapps\common\Cold Waters\ColderWaters_Data\SteamingAssets

Step 2
Create the follow new folders
new folder called override
open the override folder
new folder called hud
Should look like this after your finished \steam\steamapps\common\Cold Waters\ColderWaters_Data\SteamingAssets\overide\hu d

Step 3a
Open the folder \steam\steamapps\common\Cold Waters\ColderWaters_Data\SteamingAssets\default\hu d

Step 3b
Copy the file default.txt file
Paste it into the new folder directy you just created \steam\steamapps\common\Cold Waters\ColderWaters_Data\SteamingAssets\overide\hu d

Step 4
Now we have our orginal file "default\hud\default.txt" and our newly created "override\hud\default.txt" which will override the setttings in "default\hud\default.txt"
So if you mess up the settings in "override\hud\default.txt" you can just return to Step 3 to copy and paste "default\hud\default.txt" over again

Step 5
Editing the "default\hud\default.txt"
Open "default\hud\default.txt" in your text editor (notepad or notepad++)
Scroll to the very bottom to see the "[HUD LAYOUT]"
If you see // at the begining of a line then that line is not used (its what we call "commented out")

Step 5a
We need to "comment out" the default lines used for the hud

Step 6b
We need to delete the \\ (un-comment) infront of the lines we would like to use instead

Step 7
I moved the Status Icons down so they sit on top of the Status box

Step 8
I moved the Recognition Manual down and to the left of the Condtions/Signature/Weapons/Damage box

Offset Vaules

 

Depending on where 0,0 is defined using positive or negitive numbers will offset (move around) the thing you want to move

Lets take the Recognition Manual for example

Line 260 UpperRightRecognitionManual=0,0

This tells us the Recognition Manual is being offset from the Upper Right of the screen

=0,0 being the upper right corner of your screen
The first 0 controls horizontal position to the left as right would be off the screen
The second 0 controls vertical position down as up would be off the screen
These are known as off set vaults as you are off setting 0 by whichever number you choose

Because 0,0 is defining the top right of the screen we need to use negitive numbers to shift left and down
If 0,0 was defining the bottom left of the screen we would use postition numbers to shift right and up

So
=100,0 Shift 100 to the right (this would be off the screen)
=-100,00 Shift 100 to the left
=0,100 Shift 100 up (this would be off the screen)
=0,-100 Shift 100 down
