I know this will make me sound like a noob which i am to HUDs but on gimp what would i set a new project to if I'm attempting a HUD?Also is there a way to make like a box and keep it there on GIMP,because each time i try the box thing it disappears after i click off of it.See I'm no good at making straight lines so I'm trying to find a auto box thing ;D.Any help?

<3 that SMG overlay. Only problem with the HUD is that it's kinda pale.

Nice. Best one yet.

I'm using paint since i can't figure GIMP out.:P I didn't follow any tuts either so if you think its that bad thats a reason.For me a couple lines aren't coming up.:/ o
Oh and if anyone has the pictures of nades i can use to put in the nade boxes that would help out.On a different note the number out of 60 goes down as you shoot then the number out of 240 goes down as you reload.:D so what do you think?

How does he fail? Maybe he doesnt want to stretch the page by posting in IMG. Also it doesnt need an outer circle.

Why do some of the bitmaps seem blurred doan?

He probably didnt make them as large as his other bitmaps.

That ODST pistol is too wide, but SMG looks cool.

there are a few OBVIOUS flaws, i'm just gonna tell you the most obvious one:

your health meter is GONE which should be red, do it like this:

How do you make it so the area near the shield bar also flash?

For some reason that map reminds me of sierra 117 dam, is there a dl link?
Edited by Hawkeye 117 on Sep 17, 2009 at 02:45 AM

Well, it is modeled after it. Its called quid pro quo or something spelt like that. Look it up ad modacity

Health is the bar already shown. Then theres vitality, which is basically shields, but for ODSTs.

that was modeled after the Sierra 117 dam.

It's Project Rubber Ducky. http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?t=17455

Eh, ODST is getting a bit boring now.

That's why I'm going on for the next thing ;]

yeah it really seems like you guys pounced upon odst.
i remember before halo 3 came out i was the only one working on a halo 3 styled hud, partially because i cannot do 2d work in gimp or photoshop. then i realized that huds are 2d work. it was a sad day.

lol I though you can do 2d in gimp and photoshop, how you think I got most of my HUD to work on 2d?

*facepalm*
He said he was going to do it, then realized he couldn't, so he was sad.

It got postpone since I have to go to Austin during school day and come back home during weekend so it'll take a while but I might tomorrow soon after the party finish... or not

can someone please PM me to help make the HUD I made into tags, the thread was closed and I really need those tags!

I fail :(
Needs a lot of work, I just want to get it in-game and everything in the correct position, which I do not have a clue how to do... never really looked into HUD's.

Headhunter is turning PSD file into bitmaps, but then I still need tags

i want that shotgun.

looks okay to me

What shawtgunz?

By the looks of the details, its rendered from his shotgun model.

Yup.

diffuse color and wireframe?

Wanted to use Ink n Paint material, but it was being a tool and not working.. so I used a wireframe and drew over it all with the Pen tool in photoshop. I might make a material tonight so it is quicker.
