While playing there is no HUD. The ONLY overlay I can see is chat.

Missing:
-team scores
-health/amo/map/stamina/etc
-teammate name/health when aiming at them

I had no problems in 4.1 and would really like to play 4.2 but this bug is pretty much a show-stopper for me.


I installed urbanterror using archlinux's urbanterror package which includes 4.2 slipstreamed (no updater script required).

hmmm im config noob but i think it has to do with /cg_draw2d 0/1 or sumthing like that

I think the chat down to the left is also part of the cg_draw2d, and only the upper left kill messages (and chat with the right cvars) is shown. But I suggest trying the cvar driller suggested anyway.

If not, then here are the cvars to turn on each part of the HUD:

cg_drawfps 0/1
cg_drawtimer 0/1
cg_lagometer 0/1
cg_hudweaponinfo 0/1
cg_speedo 0/1
cl_drawclock 0/1
cg_drawteamoverlay 0/1/2/3
cg_drawteamoverlayscores 0/1
cg_drawteamscores 0/1
cg_maptoggle 0/1
cg_standardChat 0/1
cg_chatHeight 0-8
cg_chattime 0-8000
cg_teamChatTime 0-8000
cg_msgHeight 0-8
cg_msgTime 0-10000
cg_drawcrosshairnames 0-1
cg_drawcrosshair 0-12
cg_crosshairsize 0-1000


0 is off, any other value is on in some kind of way

I'm also playing UrT 4.2 on Arch, without this problem, but I used official installer instead. Maybe arch package is buggy or some file has been corrupted during DL?

Well, I'm doing a full game reinstall (pacman -Rs urbanterror, pacman -Scc, pacman -S urbanterror), if that doesn't work it will rule out any corruption (though the packages are signed, so the chances are VERY slim).

Btw, are you running 64bit or 32bit? My machine is 64, but I'll try the 32 binary after it reinstalls to see if it makes a difference.

Once it's reinstalled, I'll try the cvars suggested above.


Side Note: The "Instant E-Mail Notification" option on this thread did't work. I guess I'll have to keep coming back and checking it :(

I'm using 32bit executable on a 64bit arch box (to run it I had to download some libs from multilib repository). The only problem i still have is that auth-key doesn't works even using 32bit file. I trust in the new incoming patch

AHA. This solved my problem! I checked it first and it said it was set to 0 and that the default is 1. I don't remember ever changing it though, weird.

Mods: Feel free to mark this thread solved (if that's done around here) unless someone wants to investigate why it was set wrong in the first place. For the record, I tried a "reset default options" earlier, but that didn't fix it.

Auth works fine for me on Arch linux 64 bit running the 32 bit executable. When I get into a server it says "Xcaliber authed newbie account" or something like that.

[bw|lebbra]

it has a weird behaviour for me (look at this topic)
console says I'm authed, but servers say "no account"

How to solve it with one command:

$ echo "set cg_draw2d \"1\"" >> /opt/urbanterror/q3ut4/autoexec.cfg

I hope this can help others, too.
