Custom GUI background for ultrawide 32:9

This set of files makes the GUI scale better and does not cut off the image.
But it also can produce a bug. (see below)

These work OK on windows but not Linux under Proton.
This set has been modified to work and it should be fine.

However it has been made an option just in case the bug does affect other users custom files.

To install...
After you have installed the main file set, install these files in the same folders...

1. Go to  “Half-Life/dod_addon/resource/UI” in the download and the game folder

2. In the download folder copy the “background” folder and BackgroundLayout.txt and BackgroundLoadingLayout.txt - paste to the game folder

If you see maps crashing read the below bug.


****Known bugs in testing.****

The custom GUI screen (option) causing a crash on snow maps.
The custom GUI background files fixes the head being chopped off in some Ultra-wide monitors like 32:9 aspect ratios.

For some reason the file “0_0_0_0.tga” (the top left image of the GUI, the GUI background is actually a heap of small images stitched together) if running any map with snow like dod_kalt, dod_northbound, dod-zalec, the map will crash dod at the welcome screen.

It’s only that image, other maps work fine, there might be an image name conflict in the files somewhere.

Remove the file “0_0_0_0.tga” and the “snow maps” will not crash, the image is out of bounds for most resolutions, it has been removed in this set of files.

If you installed that option and see “snow maps” crash , remove the custom GUI background files.

Go to  “Half-Life/dod_addon/resource/UI”

1. Delete the “background” folder
2. Delete the files BackgroundLayout.txt and BackgroundLoadingLayout.txt

The bug will be gone.

Streaming to other devices. If you have custom files on one PC and stream to another you may notice the custom files don’t work. It may cause crashes if the two files systems are not the same.
