New HUD/View for 1.2
« 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.

Haven't seen anything similair to my idea, apart from custom made HUD's, which don't do what my idea does.

So you want something like the rifles out of the Alien series?

Haven't seen the alien series, or atleast, don't remember them :).

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:

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)

So long as the aliens can't see when I'm out.
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...
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

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

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

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.)

It would be nice to have a helmet view ala Metroid Prime.

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.
