None of the original HUD topics got moved to the Mods forum, but since they are modifications to Tremulous, this is a 'master post' to link to all the HUDs out there.
I may take proper screenshots for all this, but for now a raw list so it's here at least.
Most recently released/added at the top:

HUDs aren't mods for Tremulous since they are perfectly compatible with the vanilla game on vanilla servers!

I disagree. :-) They are a visual change to the stock Tremulous game, that they run on Vanilla servers is because the game code is designed to allow HUDs to be modified, not that they aren't modifications.
Skins, replacement models, even replacements fonts would be considered modifications, yes? Yet something that can have at least as much visual change as replacement models and skins isn't? I believe HUDs are equivilant to replacement models and skins because of this.
-
You cannnot replace models and skins on pure servers. You can on the other hand do minor modifications to the hud.
-
every single modification must be here
modifications that change look and feel of the game

I disagree with your seperation, and agree with vcx. If the mods disagree, this thread can get moved, but I've stated my reasons (in fact if there wasn't specific scripting support for replacement HUDs they would be required to be implemented as .QVMs, and some of the newer QVM's that feature newer approaches to the radar open up possibilities of expanding the HUD-scripting further) so we'll have to agree to disagree.

I'm curious. Is there no pure check on ui.qvm? ... and how would you sneak custom HUD graphics in?

There is a pure check on the pk3 file containing ui.qvm. For proof, you can have an updated ui.qvm to get for example the option menu available before joining a game. But as soon as you join a game, you'll revert to the original ui.qvm.
As for hud customisaition, Tremulous reads the ingame hud description in a simple cfg file that doesn't require to be in a pk3. IE, you cannot change the original hud config file, but you can always supply a new one with a new name and change the corresponding cvar to point to that new file.

Thats what I thought but I also thought that Tremulous, on pure servers at least, prefers files found in pk3s to files found in directories -- in fact, it doesnt even search directories. Is there an exception for certain files or am I wrong and the entire data pk3 can be replaced with local files?

It is an exception for the HUD file because that's exactly the point! To be able to customise your hud without beeing bothered by the pure check.
-
There is no exception. The HUD file is referenced by a cvar that can be changed.
-
There is an exception. For example, unless playing in devmap, the game will refuse to use a bsp file that isn't inside a .pk3. In fact, except for the HUD file and some .cfg file, the game will not use a single file outside of a pk3 unless playing in devmap mode.
-
I'm kinda surprised nobody else has released any HUDs... or isn't there anything missing out there between the over-themed/under-themed versions I did, and the high-visibility-version Phreak made?

The alien crosshair HUD.
http://evilbastard.org/slight/chompers-ui.zip
to install:
unzip to base and type "/cg_hudfiles ui/chompers.cfg" from console to activate.
/cg_hudfiles ui/menu.txt to deactivate
You must start a map for the changes to kick in.
Changes to default HUD include:
* Player names are smaller.
* Timer is larger and more prominently positioned.
* Small crosshair on all aliens except granger.
* Adv. Dragoon barbs are positioned vertically beneath the crosshairs to be more prominent. This may also assist in judging height vs. distance if you get used to it.
* Darker background on human HUD so you can clearly see credits and build points remaining when holding the construction kit.
I recommend you put [WTFHAX] at the end of your name in game when using this HUD on SATGNU servers so that Lava & co. know to ban you.

i wore my wtfhax tag proud but gore didnt bann me :\

Link down, chompers?
-
Link seems fine, probably a temporary problem with the webhost.
Anyway, I was given a permanent ban last night on the GA servers that I'm a regular on. Not for using a custom alien crosshair HUD mind you, but for defending the right to use them. While playing as human, too, so go figure.
It will be interesting, at least, to see how it all pans out.
-
BTW, I like your hud but could you also add crosshairs to the regular granger and the ckit? Those can be useful too because they are used to point at the building you want to repair or remove.
-
there are some lame huds just changing the item placement ,colors, adding crosshairs to aliens
bah that is not really a hud mod it is just your lame - cant find the center of the screen hud
please dont be creative and add some graphics and if you cant do graphics stay away

AFAIK, you can't add graphics and have it work on pure servers, only rearrange.

My thoughts exactly. I still use your hud on one of my machines.
-
BUMP - may I suggest this be stickied?
-
my hud is phreaks hud with just 3 changes...so i didnt think anyone would want it
-
Still - people could come out with a HUD any day now. And I played on a server without my PHREAK hud yesterday, and I realised how hard it was to see that light blue HUD with my C-Kit!
I rest my (horrible and small) case.
Stickeh like a dretch on joor fase!
plesh
-
Ok, i got one but want to go back to my old one, how do i do that?
-
hey chompers,
does ur HUD have all the same colours and things as PHREAK'S HUD, but with the only diference being the added cross hair? Because i like PHREAKS hud colours but i also wnat an alien cross hair.

It's in an earlier post. That's all I'm saying, find it yourself.

Now, I will quote myself. This is taken from the PREAK hud topic. Look there first!!!just add the next code to aliens hud(.menu) and have fun :D
//CHOMPERS
itemDef
{
name "chompers"
rect 312 232 16 16
visible 1
decoration
forecolor 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.6
style WINDOW_STYLE_SHADER
background "gfx/2d/crosshair-alien.tga"
}
-
how do you do that though?
-
I have looked in the hudfiles of chompers hud and there it was :D
-
how do you get chomper's hud to work on a mac? i downloaded from the link. how do i unzip it?
-
Aren't macs just so great?
The only OS that unzips maps for you, but when you want something unziped, nope.
Install linux. Or even, god forbid, windows. At then you will have a functional computer.
-
so i can't get a custom hud on a mac?
-
Where are all the mac fanboys when you want them?
-
It's a zip, and it won't unzip it for you? I'm thinking the download got corrupted.
Try downloading it again (and see if someone can give you the MD5 sum for the file)
Otherwise, download the Unarchiver (http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html). It adds on tons of functionality on top of Apple's BOMArchiveHelper.
-
to get chompers hud to work all you really gotta do is take the default alien hud and add like 10 lines.
someone will probably give them to you eventually...if you find someone who isnt as lazy as i am
-
Can we get Paradox's HUD on the list... His is the best HUD evah!
-
try ctrl+clicking it and go to "open", "open with" then search for "stuffit expander"
-
Why not have someone just rehost and mirror the damn HUDs that way we get an updated list?
MG??!?!?!
