Title: New HUD/View for 1.2
Post by: DarkWolf on May 18, 2007, 12:36:30 pm: Hi there.

My idea is a adjustment of the HUD of humans for more eye-candy.

Instead, for example while you're wearing a helmet, your view is outside the helmet or not showing the inside the helmet, that you can see the the inside of the helmet, the same counts for the Bsuit, aliens are already getting the choppaz, so they already got the idea :).

Also, instead of showing your ammo in the HUD, it could show the ammo on the weapon, maybe not with some weapons, but for example with the rifle or the shotgun, there could be some kind of monitor on the gun which shows your ammo count.

Like that yea :).

Post by: Steely Ann on May 18, 2007, 09:16:23 pm: I'd rather have a hud that's scalable ala UT99's. I mean, I barely look at that stuff a good chunk of the time I'm playing but I can't shrink it without a resolution resize and I can't adjust the transparency of it, either.

Though I suppose that'll never happen. :cry:

Search search search (100000 times)

Excuse for taking the flamebait, but what are you, some kind of moron?
Man, learn to CONTRIBUTE to a forum instead of yelling at every person who has an idea. I hope you *do* realize that you're really not doing this forum any good, and are thereby helping the forum with degrading into a 12-year-old yellfest. IF you want to stay here longer, and especially IF you want this place to be nice 3 years from now, you'd better change your attitude. AT THE LEAST point to an interesting search result when yelling "SEARCH!"...

You're now officially a moronic idiot in my book, Paradox. Congratulations!

As to not be offtopic: scalable huds are neat, but ammo-on-weapon is neater, especially when teammates can see your ammo count, too. Make the ammo-on-weapon counter's background flash from black to yellow when out of ammo, and from black to red when reloading, and you could have some pretty interesting teamplay based on ammocounts. :D
(Plus, ammo-on-weapon makes sure that the part of the screen blocked by the weapon view is at least used for something instead of graphics eye-candy)

Tricking them into thinking I'm out of ammo is a great trick. Bit like making them think I have ammo when I don't...

I don't think you realise how hard this would be.

Getting an md3 shader to work like that could take Timbo weeks!

Post by: Ranger on May 29, 2007, 01:11:42 pm: I'd love a more streamlined HUD. You could put ammo on the gun, health show up in your HUD (I'd love something like Ghost Recon...a number with the human's pulse? This would serve for stamania and health.)

Post by: kozak6 on May 30, 2007, 05:15:41 am: The Star Wars one seems tasteful.

I was previously strongly against this idea, but if it's something minimal like the Star Wars one and not the ugly and wasted 1/3 of your screen like the Metroid one, it could work.
