Enter your resolution and click “Okay”

You should get another window with HUD

Play around with it and when you are done press right mouse button or the cog icon
A window will pop up, scroll down and save the preset

How To Use Your HUD

Before installing your custom hud make a copy of ShooterUI.ini file located in C:UsersyourusernameDocumentsMy GamesUnrealEngine3ShooterGameConfig
To use your HUD replace the ShooterUI.ini file with the one you saved earlier
To make sure your HUD will work set this file to read only (it will give you an error when starting the game but it will work)
To do that, right click the file and go to properties and check the read only tick box

You Are Done!

Your custom HUD should now work
Keep in mind your HUD will not look exacly the same as in the editor, this is due to the safezone wich cannot be changed or disabled
example:

The objective status was above the minimap in the editor and the timer was in the middle of the minimap
