Hud Opinion

[Kuszja]

I have worked the past three days on a hud requested by my clan (humans only so far). I would like some opinions on it and if it would be worth while to make it clan-free for the public. The picture and files are here:

This is what I call a minimalist hud. If there are any bugs, please tell me, I have been fighting with the loading and switching of the huds for the two past days.

Use "exec magc_hud" to set it and "exec normal_hud" to go back.
Note: The stamina goes from left to right above the reload timer.

No! If you are going to make a HUD, actually make a HUD. What you did is just cluttered the default HUD up so it's less attractive.

Ok, I did not ask for hate posts. If you even looked at the hud for more than three seconds, you will see that it is not any closer to the default hud than most of the others on this site. My goals were to (1.) Make a hud that does not remind the player that he/she is playing game. (2.) Condense everything into one area so you can see everything in one glance. (3.) Add the clan tag logo as a request. I may still ge rid of the right reload circle.

I got rid of the bolt because it was redundant, moved everything to the right, as that is where important information usually is in a game, and changed the stamina to the out of the way, but still informative dots, that they are now. I even added the convience of making an cfg file so you don't have to remember the cg_hudfiles command and the directory.

If you don't like the style of my hud, than say that you don't like the hud and nicely say why. Don't just go off on me for it, this was a requested hud by my clan as it is.[/i]

What I'm saying is that I want a bigger variety of different HUDs. Making changes to the default HUD is fine, but not new. Some people may appreciate having a minimalistic version of the default HUD.

However, I think you could have done better if you tried doing something new instead.

So, what do you think of Phreak's high-visibility hud? It is really just a recolor of the  original hud from what I can see. I still defend the fact that my hud is not a small variation on the original hud. I'm not totally done with it, but I added new elements for the stamina, and removed the bolt. the only thing that resembles the original hud is the reload circle and contents.

By the way, most everything will be a change to the default from your apparent opinion of a change. The original hud contains health and its identifier, ammo and identifier, stamina, credits and identifier, clips, stamina indicator (bolt), and other stuff. My hud contains most of these and other huds will too. I just haven't changed the reload circle yet.

Just to let you know since it wasn't too clear in my first post, this is a wip.

Dont like it, too much info in one place. EZ to get confused by the numbers.

unfortunately im stuck in the same boat as caveman, i like my stuff spread out. thx for the ss tho

Right now it fits most of my clan's affinity for "everything at a glance." It is also influenced by my want for total immersion into the game with out anything obstructing my view (Due to Myst). I could make a hud with everything spread out, but then it would be Undeference's default hud. I think he was just in a bad mood that day or something. I also made a more friendly public release and took out the sig in the top left corner (it was wanted for some odd reason). I put the photo in the same place as the download since my file hosting service makes it easy for me to view images and easily update them. It also looks like I should make the alien half sometime since my clan sucks as aliens and we need to get better.
