Resource Files
Some resource files are used for the display for several different weapons. Its important to note this when deciding where you want to place this meter while editing your HUD.
The most notable example is huditemeffectmeter.res - it defines the meter for some scout melee weapons, some soldier secondaries and even the spy's cloak meters.
To help you with that, and also detail their hudlayout.res entries, here is the same list sorted by resource file. However, some are positioned in their own resource file - and do not have an entry.
