Hello if anyone is watching this, i need help with a HUD that i'm trying to create for my game. Here's two HUD's That i finished today, please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!

But before you postg here, here are some rules...

1. DON'T SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT MY MADE-UP HUD'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. DON'T BRAGG ABOUT MY HUD'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. DON'T EVEN SAY "I can do a better HUD than you" OR ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The top HUD is for the Witch Side and the bottom HUD is for the Human side. And by the way, can anybody tell me if there's a way to add sheilds, Raydars, and Radio Tags, for the HUD's. Like Health combined with energy sheilds like in Halo 1 or Half-Life 1? #2 Can you also do a Raydar for the Character? And #3 is there a way to add radio tags, like if a ally is talking to you in radio like in F.E.A.R or BioShock?

I'll come back later for any answers...

You can have armor, but I'm not sure how. I'm pretty sure it is with a mod. As for radars and radio I'm not sure.

Another thing is that I can offer some advice that if you're using photoshop or gimp, to utilize the tools that they give you. Those huds aren't bad for a beginner but they would look a lot better with some alpha channels and smoothing the edges. You can only learn to do great work by experience so keep working at it.

Oh and with your rules what you see as saying bad things about your huds, other people will see as constructive criticism.

I suppose that this is where I'm supposed to put some witty one liner. Well...sorry to disappoint.

Thank you for that, but i think that will do for a while.

I am using GIMP, but that's just a sample of the HUD's as a PNG file. While i got the Original file as a DDS File.

Sorry i offended some viewers, it's because some people did not help me out in my last topics.

And by the way after i done, where do i put these files in fpsc?

I'll be back for more questions, or answers...

Hmm... Well mate, if you cannot take criticism it makes it hard to help. What you made is a good start and I will try to point you in the right direction.

Health and armor are easy to do, but it takes some scripting in the setup.ini. I would try and start with these forum post :

Rolfy's animated hud:

Cosmic's body armor:

Conjured Body Armour:

For radio tags maybe look at Lewis' alpha project wip. He has some wonderful ideas in it. Huds can be triggered to appear like they were always there and with the proper script it can be animated.

Now for the long requested item Radar. Radar can be pulled off, but it takes alot of scripting and triggers to pull it off. Without modding the source for this most of us just fake it to give the illusion of a working radar. EDIT: However there is already a working radar in the source created by Lee, but again you would need to edit the source to have the function. From what I have heard it is not a pretty radar, just blocks on top of blocks.

I hope this helps you out, but I went through and looked at most of you previous post and I see people tried to help out, but you were very impatient with them. Learning to make games takes time. Searching for the anwser on here first helps, but sometimes the anwser is not on here and you may need to look around for it.

Good luck and be patient.
