Well if there a work in progress thread for Vehicles Bipeds and Weapons y not have one for huds. The rules are the same as what Dennis has in his. so post some of your hud work here

lol i wonder who here has actually made an hud thats not just a color mod...

this is probably the highlight of the thread right here. not trying to be an egotistical asshat, im just saying, hardly anyone knows how to make an hud, much less make it looks good

I have one =)



lol, haven't touched it for ages.

That is a good hud i could never figure out how to get the shield bar to be not so transparent

yeah hazards is pretty good

Meh, not that amazing. You helped me a lot with it.

I want in the circle!

That looks cool Hdoan but i think the shield bar is too low for the hud outline

Bend it!

Needs more anti-aliasing. Smooth those bitmaps. Especially the motion tracker and grenade bitmaps and borders. Other than that, not bad.

No, don't bend it. Bending the HUD elements looks ugly in Halo 1.

this is old. very very old. i have new methods now, so they come out smooth. the motion tracker is even older than the rest, and the grenade bitmaps, yeah they suck, never got around to finishing them

Isn't all of that stuff old? I remember you telling me the grenade bitmaps and shield meters were old-hat....

-The Digits in the AR are too big or close to the edge. >.<

yuck visor outline... make it more transparent and i'll like that hud.

I still sey Donut's hud is the best i'v seen so far.

Make the HUD translucent please. Thank you.

Old BR is old.

I personally think it needs more Bloom =)

I like how you assumed this was the latest things rather than thinking that I could have an old build with the HUD in it, or how you assumed it was narrows.

the shield and health bar is to bright

Hazard your HUD is ok but you really need to change the ammo count on the top right. IMO it looks ridiculous.

I know...I will make a completely new one..eventually. Maybe today actually, since i'm really bored. But Donut isn't on atm to help meh =/

Windows, Mac and Linux... that would be awesome... :D

Give me a sketch of how it will look, and i'll do it =D

That or I will start sketching out a forerunner HUD.

Linux would have all kinds of code and data rolling all over it... Windows would be like ERROR every time you got shot and Mac would be like "I'm too cool for you" If anyone wants to brainstorm on such sketches with me that would be great because I wouldn't know how to transfer a desktop into life meters....

Oh, and a Fore-Runner HUD isn't a bad idea but how would you design it? with the 30 60 90 degree thing or what?

lol looks cool

IMO it looks terrible. They just cut a piece of a screenshot of their desktop, then made it a texture and tried to apply it to a weapon. Which made it look even worse because the ammo counter is messed up too.

having a forerunner HUD would be cool, because it would be the first time forerunner symbols were a main focus of the game.

right, like we could understand t he forerunner language

I can understand him fine.

Umm, I don't see any words on the default HUD either...

What im saying is it would be a nice way to show that it is Forerunner. When you pick up a weapon it could run weapon diagnostics in Forerunner...'

EDIT: with that last statement I mean that the most important parts aren't words. Forerunner symbols just show that its forerunner.

If someone could make a Halo3 HUD Visor that would be great.

And be one of the millions with it?...I would rather do something custom, because h3 is getting old...

who wanted the halo 3 shield bar? message me on xfire for it and instructions on use

make sure you include a reason why your adding me, or i wont accept. too many nutjobs having their friends add me to pick fights >_>
