Nice work, BP! I still don't get how you make it so awesome :P

how will that look like? a higher gamma setting or something?

sorta, im not sure about the outline, but i made a crappy method by switching between normal mode and wireframe mode constantly - only problem is that you see the wireframe of your enemies through the walls (unfair eh)

but you'll see soon enough

A small wip

idgi?

i lold at u.

Closest i could get... now all i need is someone to tell me how to make your screen go red when your shields(stamina) are out.

Now all i need is a compass overlay(which i know is possible, since you can do it on the sniper rifle's scope) and to redo some stuff.

*facepalm* i just told everyone on this very page that multitex overlays on the primary screen isnt possible, that means you cant have one while you're not zoomed.
i tried, masterz tried, some others tried aswell which name i forgot. not possible, period.
even if you want to stay zoomed all the time, the fp models dissappears when you're zoomed in.

as i said, it's only possible if you model it into the gun and emulate it as hud element, which takes more effort since every gun is gonna need it in it's model and animations.

the shield overlay is done by making it invisable when you're full, and red when it's nearing empty. simple.


e1: edited my shield overlay to colour the outline somewhat red, mine works progressive, from the edges of the outline it gets clearer more inwards the less shield you have left. so like odst, the TV lines in the center gets more visable the less shield you have

To get the effect of the compass is easy, use a 3d hud. Metriod online did this, and it's pretty simple.

look how inaccurate the smg is.

I know, i did it too, but all animations would have to be adjusted just for that, which is not worth the effort for all the weapons.
even if it's in the fp model, you're going to need to adjust all the weapon animations to get the compass in properly, which wasnt a problem for the metroid online team since they knew it from the start, so they considered it while designing.

tl:dr it's not worth the effort to do it that way, as i mentioned earlier.


but hey, lookie what i just figured out:



i was fooling around in hek, and i figured out that multitex overlays in the primary screen is possible afterall

visor mode?

low light vision mode is toggleable through Q

Have you been able to get any night vision stuff from the sniper rifle implemented into the HUD like this?

You just now figured that out? I got that done times ago.

Also, I wouldnt call your other image "lowlight vision mode".

And you should really take down that Firefight bitmap. It doesnt stay through the whole game.

None of my beta scripts for low light vision mode is shown in any of these pics, merely the bitmap which shows up when you toggle Q to indicate wether it's active or not, I said this pages ago.
But yea, I'll be working some more on this stuff and release it in a few days, it's no big suprise that I'm now halfway with an actual firefight map aswell. *coughcraterwithfirefightcough*

ew^

It would look better if he was in a dark night map, honestly.

:O night vision

Few tweaks you have to make in the weapon_hud_interface, crosshair color for the AR and ammo display, but overall it's coming out pretty convincing.

excuse me but I think I proved that everything generated here can be put into real life. :>

What the hell is wrong with you? You have yet to point out anything that is wrong with his work, besides the typical " its screencaped derrrrp" By the way I don't think you remember that almost all of your released work is composed of screencaps, modifications to bungies content, and someone elses content.

It may be just me, but im tired of you constantly trying to agitate beach party, he has done NOTHING to deserve the crap you give him. I personally do like his work, and the only reason you make comments about him such as the typical "ew" is becuase of this stupid personal vendetta you have with him.

Lol, I knew I wasn't the only one to see that Discovery Channel commercial.

welll(to the guy who said its amazing that it can be made in real life blah blah blah in sarcasm) technically the hud is a screen on ur helmet, so technically in real life a hud can be implemented into a helmet(they have thin plastic screens now that are being experimented with) the campus, that's not that hard its a digital read out of a 3d compass, the compass would be in ur helmet, the ammo read out be feet from teh gun into ur suit tru contacts or RF signals,the skulls, again a image on a thin screen on the inside of the helmet. :D

youre beach party trolling is so obvious bo. do try to post a bit more constructively.
E: refer to CLS grunt's post

'course you can.
maybe build an real-life ODST armor with this kind of HUD luls.
but seriously, the night-vision looks a little........(odd?) to me.
not saying its bad or whatever, but..........

So...Is it possible to make compass work?

My new visor :X Crit please.

en-ti-re-ly =)

but you're gonna have to wait a bit longer till i finished the new bitmaps for the odst compass, but rest assured, i have holidays starting tommorow *that means i have more time to work on it*

Also, tweaked night vision, all that remains is adding an outline without using the wireframe command, i have another method for it but it only works on dynamic objects like vehicles and bipeds, not the BSP =/



it works perfectly, not too much, dark areas get lit up, and you're blinded when walking in a light area ofcourse, which is also the case in odst ofcourse


not bad, not bad at all. your gradient is perfect, now make a decent alpha channel for it and put it ingame, show us how it looks =P
I'd be bchng about small detaills, but nah, im just a detail freak... just get it ingame =)

Yeah, I know the other things in the HUD fail... but that's not the point :P

Thanks for posting links to stuff that I actually released, and actually released for the community to use.

Also, I dont see you modeling, tagging, animating, or releasing much of anything.

And it seems you didnt post these:

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4701
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4752

So therefore, by you only posting content with partial mines, I would say that you, are also a troll.

All in all, your Sandtrap, is the same thing. A bunch of ripped content thrown together onto a map.
Edited by Advancebo on Oct 15, 2009 at 06:20 AM

add a fine line on the edges, not just a gradient alone, looks wrong imo, and h3 has it too

your HUD is awesome,bp. now if only someone would try to add the 3d compass whichamagibeething :D

inaccurate, the objective bitmap shouldnt even be there.

i am yet see this "objective bitmap"...

where the **** is it?
