K_STTIMW image, check out bgcolor inside hudtimer.cfg and set it to a valid palette color)You can control whether the timer is allowed to appear (blacklist/whitelist basically) and what areas of the screen to not overlap (move to closest side or make transparent)
If you're making HUD add-ons or custom gametypes, this is for you

io_mods.lua file inside the add-on
Example code:
if not hudtimer then return end
hudtimer.addcondition("allow", "dynamite derby free play", function(t)
return bdd and gametype == GT_BDD and (bdd.numplayers <= 1 or mapheaderinfo[gamemap].typeoflevel == 0)
end)
hudtimer.addcondition("modify", "teams hud", function(t)
return (teamplay and t.splitscreen == 1 and not t.player.exiting) and {t.screenw-150, 0, t.screenw, 40}
end)If anyone has the know-how to solve these, i'll be glad if you reach out!
- Overlaps every vanilla HUD element
(Especially status messages and POSITION!! display. You can somewhat mitigate this by configuring the timer differently) - Sets your
showviewpointtextconsole variable to1
(To aid in 3p+ splitscreen, i couldn't think of better ways) - Timer sliding in/out sometimes doesn't match the rest of the HUD on unstable framerates
- Shows lap times even while you're in free camera
- Doesn't disappear during the "HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!" screen
- Miscellaneous weirdness when configuring offsets
(It's math alright)
