Is there any program I can use besides Photoshop to make my own HUD? Preferably a free program.

Are you sure that it will work as I read somewhere that you can only use Photoshop to create an HUD?

i'm not sure if that's true because i think all you have to do is be able to use alpha channels and gimp is very capable of that.

Gimp is a safe, fully functional, open source Photoshop alternative. You can use it to create HUDs.

hmm, slightly off this particular topic, but still speaking of HUD's. can you get multiple 'reload bars' in the HUD aimer for vehicles? intention is to have separate reload bars for both types of weapons, and/or maybe a reload for a CTRL-boost function, if that is possible.

The thing is that when I look at tutorials for Photoshop, it talks about things like 8-bit color channels. What should I do in Gimp?

Quote: --- Original message by: Xaos Yeah, in the hud_weapon_interface tag you can see how meters (like heat or scorpion reload) are linked to primary mags, clips, heat etc. Not for the ctrl thing though. If boost was on secondary then yes.hmm, slightly off this particular topic, but still speaking of HUD's. can you get multiple 'reload bars' in the HUD aimer for vehicles? intention is to have separate reload bars for both types of weapons, and/or maybe a reload for a CTRL-boost function, if that is possible. |
