« on: June 06, 2007, 11:46:05 pm »
Ok, this is the hud i have been developing for tremulous. Features include:
Universal features:

  • Yellow credit and class/weapon indicators.
  • Low profile bottom right area, takes up less screen with useless stuff.
  • Smaller names
  • Smaller font on teamstatus view
  • Callvote sudden_death menu item
  • Hud information (date of version) and self promotion on about menu
  • Teamstatus has colors
Human features
  • Ammo and clips appear next to/on crosshair
  • Scanner reduced in size
  • Inventory shows everything
  • Builder has build timer and build points in center of screen
Alien features:
  • Crosshairs on everything(set cg_drawCrosshairs to 2 to enable alien crosshairs, 1 to leave standard, or 0 to disable all crosshairs)
  • Builder has build timer and build points next to crosshair
  • Goon barbs below crosshair
Download: Download directory
Gallery: broken now, as soon as i feel like taking screenshots, ill upload em
Changelog:
6/25/07:
  • New dynamic color scheme, its context sensitive on ammo/hp/etc
  • Thinner elements
  • Wallwalk on crosshair now
  • Stamina a progress bar (sort of)
  • tweaks to scoreboard

6/10/07:
  • Added functionality to cg_drawCrosshair cvar, 2 enables alien, 1 is human only, 0 is off
  • Increased font size
6/8/07:
  • Added sudden death option to votes menu
  • Added hud info to about menu
  • Changed colors of teamstatus
  • Changed colors of loading bars
  • Fixed inventory to actually work now
  • Teamstatus fonts smaller to match others
Cvars:
  • cg_drawCrosshairs:
    Values:
    • 2:Enables Alien and human crosshairs
    • 1: Human crosshairs only
    • 0: Crosshairs off for both teams
Installation:
[list=1]
  • Download the file to your tremulous base directory (Usually something like "C:/Program Files/Tremulous/Base/")
  • Load up tremulous
  • Now there are 2 ways to do the next part, depending on where you are.
On main menu:[list=1]
  • Open the console and type /cg_hudfiles "ui/paradox.cfg"
  • Log into a server and play[/list:o]In a game:[list=1]
  • Open console and type /cg_hudfiles "ui/paradox.cfg"
  • Submit the command
  • In the console, type /vid_restart and submit the command[/list:o][/list:o]
    That should install the hud and make it work properly. To uninstall, type /cg_hudfiles "ui/hud.txt"
    If that installation does not work:
    Sometimes the installation wont work, no matter what you try. If that is the case, here is how to install it
    • Change the file name to .zip or open the pk3 with a zip tool (winzip, winrar, etc)
    • Extract the archive. It should go into a folder called ui, if not, move everything there
    • In game, type /cg_hudfiles "ui/paradox.cfg"
    That should work

It's about time there're some new HUD's.

This isn't intended to ba a complete overhaul, just a little reorganization.

Bug in the inventory? In the screen, blaster is selected...

Despite of it, why don't you rename the .menu files and create a .cfg file?

As of now, i have fixed the inventory bug, and any of you who downloaded the hud earlier, please re-download it and use the newest version. Links have been updated.

As for the cfg, if people continue to have problems, ill do that, but as for now, I have kept it simple.

This time you compressed the files in two ui folders: ui/ui/files.menu

If the .pk3 file didn't work for you, than just follow this little tutorial :D:

1.)Take the .menu files and put them into the base/ui file(if you don't have a ui map, create one).

2.)Change the name "tremulous" into paradox:
paradox_default_hud.menu
paradox_alien_builder_hud.menu
paradox_alien_general_hud.menu
paradox_human_hud.menu
(ps: don't know if you really have to, but it works :D)

3.)Create a .cfg file called paradox.cfg (also put thisone into the ui map)

4.) Insert into the .cfg file the next code:
Code: [Select]
// hud menu defs
//
{
  loadMenu { "ui/paradox_human_hud.menu" }
  loadMenu { "ui/paradox_alien_builder_hud.menu" }
  loadMenu { "ui/paradox_alien_general_hud.menu" }
  loadMenu { "ui/paradox_default_hud.menu" }
 
  loadMenu { "ui/teamscore.menu" }
  loadMenu { "ui/loading.menu" }
}
5.)Start tremulous.exe and insert in console /cg_hudfiles "ui/paradox.cfg".

6.)Smile :D.

Don't like these changes,  IMO info next to crosshair is useless, smaller fonts are to small and aliens with crosshairs - that doesn't fit Tremulous game.

If you don't like it, don't use it.

And alien crosshairs are a 1.2 feature.

Go play on a server with tjw's mod.

}

You do have to change the name from tremulous, as tremulous will over right the default one.

Sigh, in the next release this afternoon, ill redo this to act like a normal hud, using your cfg. I was getting around to making them, but why remake whats been made. As for the double UI directories, ill fix that, i think winrar is borked.
Ill just start a new zip using cygwin.

Way to have constructive critisizm. Many people have been using alien crosshairs for a long time, and as its been mentioned, they will be in 1.2.

Went beyond the game engine's capibility and my span of interest.

I may make a similar map based off of the layout i had for fusion though.

Ok, the files have been updated. Now to install, you have to type /cg_hudfiles "ui/paradox.cfg". To uninstall, type /cg_hudfiles "ui/hud.txt".

This hud should work properly, and not mess with some of your settings.

If I forgot something, please tell me.


Also, check out the new paradoxd.com, its been restyled to be more usable.

Very nice hud Paradox, will definetly be using it. I build most of the time, and the build timer thing just really appeals to me.

How do I give a constructive criticism ? I don't like everything in the HUD except for the default ones. They totally deviate from the Tremulous feel.

If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all.  


I kinda like the HUD however the Alien crosshair is a little useless but I guess it helps someone :D  The build timer is also nice Good Job and thank god for no random colors :P
